According to F4W/Observer, Cena vs Joe was the Mania match they didn't want to reveal due to fears of Vince scrapping it if it got leaked out early. Joe was also originally planned to be on Smackdown before recent stuff caused those plans to get changed.

Big Show is blaming Shaq for why their Mania match is rumored to be off now. Implied both guys getting in shape was one of the terms for the match and Shaq didn't hold his end of the bargain. ESPN did imply they weren't completely sure if Big Show wasn't pulling a "worked" promo on them.

He has to weigh these consequences in his own mind. Does he want the world to know how fat and out of shape he is or does he want to sit back and talk s--- into a podcast."
