Intercontinental Championship
Cesaro (c) vs. John Cena
-Dolph Ziggler wins the IC Title from The Miz and Cesaro wins it from Ziggler around the Royal Rumble. Cesaro is a Paul Heyman Guy again. John Cena is chasing the only title in his career that he hasn't held. Cesaro shockingly beats Cena clean and proves that perhaps it is a new era in WWE.
Hercules vs. The Monster
The Rock vs. Bray Wyatt
-If there is anyone "Hollywood" enough for Bray Wyatt to want to burn to the ground, it would be The Rock. Wyatt's feuds with The Miz, John Cena and Chris Jericho have all seemed to focus on elements of the polished and superficial star-studded world clashing with Bray Wyatt's "realistic" view on things. This feud would have some amazing mic work and would be your "mainstream" feud for the show. Perhaps Mick Foley can get involved in Rock's corner, as the mic work there would be tremendous too.
Triple Threat Match
Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns
-The three members of The Shield face each other in a Triple Threat for the first time. Roman Reigns goes on another tear in the Royal Rumble, but after he eliminates Seth Rollins, the heelish Rollins holds Reigns near the ropes and Dean Ambrose dumps out Reigns without fully appreciating he had the assist. Perhaps Seth Rollins' briefcase can on the line in this match?
United States Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs. Kenta
-Orton is the guy to end Sheamus' US Title reign when he is thrown a title match by The Authority once Brock has secured the World Heavyweight Title. Around the Royal Rumble time, Kenta begins to show up on Orton's radar. He doesn't spend much time in NXT, and instead makes the jump to the main roster and surprises everyone by eliminating Orton from the Royal Rumble. He then does the same thing in the Elimination Chamber or something. The question is whether or not Kenta can beat Orton one-on-one? He does, and he manages to secure his first championship in the WWE. The US Title becomes a symbol of Kenta making it in a new land.
Divas Championship
AJ Lee (c) vs. Kharma
-AJ retains the Divas Championship and begins a rivalry with Stephanie McMahon over who is truly the most powerful woman in sports entertainment. Is it Stephanie with her authority, or is it AJ with her championship? AJ can act better than Brie, so it might become a really hot feud. Anyway, Steph gets pissed at AJ and brings in Kharma to flatten her at WrestleMania 31.
TLC Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Jimmy & Jey Uso (c) vs. The Wyatt Family vs. Jack Swagger & Stardust vs. Dolph Ziggler & Kofi Kingston
-This one seems weird, but there is a logic behind it. Jimmy & Jey were the Tag Team Champions at WrestleMania this year. Regardless of what happens between now and then, I think them heading into WrestleMania 31 as champs this year provides a sense of consistency. The Usos' cousin, The Rock, will be feuding with Bray Wyatt, so it would make sense to have these guys feud -- plus it is always gold in the ring. Jack Swagger & Stardust are thrown in because both are really great performers that I can't see being involved in anything bigger. Goldust is an older guy, so I can see him stepping out of the spotlight soon, even if he still sporadically makes appearances. Perhaps The Wyatt Family can take him out, giving Stardust a personal reason to want to go after them? Swagger can just want to be a champion, and can be the straight-laced normal guy to Stardust's freak. Dolph Ziggler would take every opportunity to amaze in this setting, and I think a tag team between him and Kofi Kingston would be a lot of fun. They have past rivalries from which to draw, and I can't see this Kofi/Big E/Woods thing lasting too much longer (some think it is already done). Even if they're only a "WrestleMania team," let them out to play in a crazy environment such as this.
Gold Star Championship
The Miz (c) vs. Sami Zayn
-I made up a championship for this one, but it's really not necessary. It's just an idea I had for Night of Champions, where Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter can decide they want to take Rusev's Gold Star Award, which isn't sanctioned by the WWE, of course, but does become the WWE Gold Star Championship once Jack Swagger wins it with the Patriot Lock at Night of Champions. The title is similar to the FCW 15 Championship medal, and is defended in fifteen-minute matches where the guy to score the most falls wins the match and is therefore champion. The Miz ends up winning it from Swagger and then Sami Zayn becomes The Miz's challenger. The Miz rips into Zayn for looking like a dork, and he points out that Zayn will never be a movie star like him. Zayn is just Zayn's usual charming self. Maybe he can even speak in French to Maryse in a segment and infuriate Miz. That sort of stuff. Zayn completely surprises everybody and mops the floor with Miz in this match. He gets a fall very quickly with the Helluva Kick, and then manages to lock in a Koji Clutch, which forces Miz to tap-out to prevent injury. The Miz gets himself disqualified as a strategy to soften up Zayn, and he gets a pinfall out of it, but is then rolled up by Zayn who is now up three falls. The Miz continues his beat-down, but he can't force Zayn to submit to the Figure Four. The damage is done, but Zayn makes a comeback and locks in another Koji Clutch and gets another submission with the time looming and wins the match 5-1.
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Everyone else on the roster participates, including Triple H
-Got no clue who this match would come down to, but Bad News Barrett seems about as good as any pick to win it. Have it come down to him and either Sheamus or Big Show. Actually, BNB and Bo Dallas finishing the match would be a funny moment with some odd history behind it.
Kickoff Match
The Ascension vs. Los Matadores
-This is a bit of a random match, but The Ascension will likely be up on the main roster, and I can't see them losing at their first WrestleMania. Los Matadores are a silly team, but a proper one that should probably focus on tag team aspirations instead of being in a Battle Royal. The Ascension can win and Matadores can make them look good.
Vickie Guerrero Invitational
All the Divas that can wrestle that aren't on the main show
-Basically a way to get all the girls in front of the crowd. With Paige, Natalya, Emma and Naomi in there, hopefully some cool spots can be worked out. Maybe Sara Del Rey can get in there for one match? I'd love it if they went with Paige winning, but she'd probably still be a heel and you'd then have two heel victories on the pre-show. Maybe it'd be better to go with a surprise face victory? Charlotte, if she's a good girl, might be a good pick. Emma exists. Natalya would be feel-good, if meaningless. They could just give it to Brie Bella.
