Why Was a Match Changed for WrestleMania 27 this Year?

WWE's creative team plugged Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov into the Eight Man Tag Team Match with The Corre at Wrestlemania XXVII after it was decided that Christian would be in Edge's corner when "The Rated-R Superstar" defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio. Christian and Kofi Kingston were originally pegged for the match.

It also said that Marella had "earned a spot on the card" based on his tenure with WWE. Management reportedly feels he "hits a home run" with whatever he is told to do on television and since he hadn't yet worked a WrestleMania match (WrestleMania XXV nonwithstanding), he was to be rewarded.

In regards to Kingston not being currently slotted for a match at the event, there has been talk in the last day of him facing Drew McIntyre.

Godamnit, put Christian in the damned title match already!

Kofi vs Drew would seem quite random, at the moment. I doubt this'll happen.

Kofi/Drew, not happening. Christian is not going to be in the WHC match and Maralla and Koslov seems a good addition. I see nothing too significant here.

Christian should've been added to the WHC match at Mania. The build has definitely called for him to be added to the match. That's only one of my many problems with this Mania.

Adding Marella and Kozlov to the Corre match is another problem. That match is just dreadful, can barely consider myself a fan of half of the wrestlers involved.
