Was watching some videos from E3. Saw an interview with Bryan Williams. In years past, Williams has seemed way more honest and down-to-earth than that douchebag Cory Ledesma...so as such I tend to trust Williams more. He was asked if it was true that there would be over 70 guys on the roster this year, and he said yes. He was also asked if the NXT concept would be in the game, and he said he didn't know for sure and it was 50/50, but hinted that they could be in the game.

Now, it could certainly wind up being bullshit (like the year where they said there would be 75 characters in the game and they wound up meaning it literally - including ring announcers, referees, etc.) - but I couldn't help but do my annual "roster prediction".

Factoring in that the cutoff every year seems to be WrestleMania, and including NXT - here's a guess at the roster:

Raw
Alicia Fox
Chris Jericho
David Hart Smith
Edge
Evan Bourne
Eve
Ezekiel Jackson
Gail Kim
Goldust
The Great Khali
John Cena
John Morrison
Mark Henry
Maryse
Melina
The Miz
Natalya
Randy Orton
R-Truth
Santino Marella
Sheamus
Ted DiBiase
Triple H
Tyson Kidd
Vladimir Kozlov
William Regal
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder

SmackDown
Beth Phoenix
Big Show
Chavo Guerrero
Christian
CM Punk
Cody Rhodes
Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre
Jack Swagger
JTG
Kane
Kelly Kelly
Kofi Kingston
Layla
Luke Gallows
Matt Hardy
Michelle McCool
MVP
Rey Mysterio
Rosa Mendes
Shad Gaspard
The Undertaker

NXT
Darren Young
David Otunga
Heath Slater
Justin Gabriel
Michael Tarver
Skip Sheffield
Wade Barrett

Future Endeavors
Batista
Carlito
Daniel Bryan
Mickie James
Shelton Benjamin

Legends/Others
Bret Hart
Mr. McMahon
Shawn Michaels

---

That's 65, and assuming the "over 70" thing was true, that leaves 5+ spots for other people (legends, stupid characters like the Red/Green guys, etc.) If NXT doesn't make it in, that leaves even more spots for legends or damn near the entire active roster including the biggest of jobbers.
