I don't even think Wrestlemania should stick to the traditional "face wins at Mania in the main event" plan. It's been said here before, but whomever wins the Rumble should main event Mania. If that's a face or a heel, so be it, but there is your big pay-off match if you've booked properly. I don't really see the reason to keep the heel from winning the Mania match just because it's Mania. If the heel has been built up since before the Rumble, has won the Rumble, and is ready to go over at Mania then he should go over. Especially when you have lots of other championships when you can put a face over to make the crowd happy. Maybe they will be upset temporarily, but they will look back at the whole night and say, "Oh yeah, we saw John Cena win, that was great. Sucks that Orton won though." Or something.
Also, it's year long. Mania is the big pay-off, but people will tune in the next night to see what the heel does, and it's not like we won't see the same match next month (three weeks) at Backlash whether the face or heel wins.
