Here's my guesses, assuming no pros are used from older seasons:
Rookies: Brodus Clay, Derrick Bateman, Hunico, Jackson Andrews, Johnny Curtis, Mason Ryan, Wes Brisco, Xavier Woods
Pros: Big Show, Chavo Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Santino Marella, Ted DiBiase, Vladimir Kozlov
Let's try to pair them up:
Brodus Clay: Vladimir Kozlov
Derrick Bateman: Big Show
Hunico: Chavo Guerrero
Jackson Andrews: Jack Swagger
Johnny Curtis: Dolph Ziggler
Mason Ryan: Ted DiBiase
Wes Brisco: Santino Marella
Xavier Woods: Daniel Bryan
Storylines include Woods being this year's "internet darling" while Cole is all like "oh sure, pair one internet darling with another". He can also bitch that Bryan has no business being a Pro with less than a year's experience. You also have the usual mix of some pros not liking their rookies, some rookies not liking their pros, and compatible pairings. Mason Ryan feels like the obvious winner here, and I envision DiBiase trying to buy him as a bodyguard but Ryan has none of it. Chavo's rookie also speaks only Spanish so Chavo decides to be a dick and ad-lib his promos and put words into his mouth.
All of these guys were filmed at last weekend's FCW show, and 3 of them (Ryan, Clay, Andrews) have been working dark matches so they all feel likely.
