Yeah, I don't really see any big names in there...and the only surprise entry really is Matt Hardy...and as it is now, its a division of 12 faces and 12 heels for balance. Foley or RVD being in there would be cool, but I just don't see it. The way I see it, this match will be midway through the card and The Miz is slated to be a participant.
However, Miz runs in during MITB (usually the 1st or 2nd match on the card) to try and help Morrison and winds up getting injured and beaten down like everyone else. Later on we see Miz and Morrison ailing backstage, and an interviewer or somebody informs Miz that since he isn't fit to compete in the battle royal, a replacement has been found. The replacement winds up being a returning Matt Hardy, and he goes on to win AND wins the ECW Title. Matt can have some sort of program with Miz and Morrison (Miz being pissed off that he lost his battle royal spot) or something.
As for some other random notes for the battle royal:
-Jesse and Festus HAVE to do a spot somehow to get Festus back into his docile state. Most likely, I see them both get eliminated at the same time and a wild Festus keeps trying to re-enter the ring. Jesse rings the bell to stop him.
-Colin Delaney being in seems like an odd choice, but he's Dreamer's partner and is the perfect candidate to be the token guy who gets eliminated within 10 seconds. One of the big guys in the match can throw him way the fuck out.
-Mike Knox is another odd selection to be in but he's gonna be in sort of a feud with Stevie so they can throw him in there to carry out the feud. Plus, the battle royal is for an ECW title shot, so it'll make sense to have more ECW guys in there.
-Kofi Kingston is randomly absent from the match for no reason other than I don't see them wanting to put Kofi in because he wouldn't win...and they don't want his first loss to be in a battle royal.
-Santino Marella is absent because I see him trying to intervene in the diva's match but the "lumberjills" humiliate him somehow.
-Most the Heat regulars: Venis, Londrick, etc. are left off (sorry Noid). There's no real reason for this except for, as mentioned, if there are gonna be jobbers in the match it makes more sense for them to be from SD/ECW.

Holy shit, dude, you are brilliant. I don't agree with everything entirely (I can't see Deuce N' Domino being in the match), but that is all really logical.
When John Morrison qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, I figured that they didn't need The Miz in there, because he could run out and bump anyway, but I completely forgot about it when taking this Battle Royal into consideration.
I agree that Colin Delaney will be the guy who gets in there and finds himself tossed immediately. Or I can see him doing quite well. Sadly, I can see the first tossed spot also going to Stevie Richards.
Mike Knox is not someone I expect to be in the Battle Royal, actually. The WWE might have plans for Knox, but I can't see them being enough to get the guy onto WrestleMania. I might be wrong, however.
I agree that Santino Marella will be elsewhere. I also agree on the Jesse and Festus spot. 100% agree, that's exactly how I envisioned it in my head. Jesse and Festus (or Jesse followed very shortly by Festus, or just Festus with Jesse at ringside) get(s) eliminated, but because Festus is in angry mode, he tries to get back in the ring, as referees and Jesse tries to stop him. Then Jesse runs to the bell, rings it, and Festus goes mellow and Jesse grabs him and walks him to the back as referees look confused. Good call, man.
