My updated dream card for WrestleMania XXVII:

WWE Championship/WWE United States Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan (c)

-Daniel Bryan shocks us all by winning the 2011 Royal Rumble from somewhere in the middle. He gets a lot of shit from The Miz on RAW about it -- saying that Daniel Bryan is not WrestleMania material. Perhaps Vince McMahon can even return to try and get a more "marketable" face into the main event. But Bryan perseveres and receives his title shot. Meanwhile, The Miz is unseated at Elimination Chamber by John Cena, in a Chamber also featuring Wade Barrett, Sheamus, Triple H and John Morrison.

Bryan and Cena seem to respect each other, but Cena brings up the original Nexus attack and how Bryan only has his job back because Cena brought back Bryan for SummerSlam. Bryan apologies for kicking Cena in the head, but says he does not apologise for telling Cena he was better than him, because that was not a lie. We get title vs. title, with two opposing symbols in wrestling clashing in the main event. Perhaps Shawn Michaels could even show up on WWE TV again, "coaching" Daniel Bryan? I'd love for Cena to show a slightly more arrogant edge heading into this match, talking shit about Michaels: "Yeah, people say HBK is the best ever; but I beat him at WrestleMania 23 like four years ago."

Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian

I've decided this should be the SmackDown! main event this year. Edge is the World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio wants to be a champion, and Christian wants to hurt Del Rio. The history between Edge and Christian needs to re-iterating, and would only add to the intensity of this match. It has the potential to be quite a personal match, as opposed to some of the other Triple Threats we have seen at Mania for the big gold belt over the years. It's kind of sad how many times the title has been defended in three-ways (this would be the fourth in the title's nine year existence), but this Triple Threat would make sense to me.

Streak is on the Line
The Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett

The Nexus leader reveals that the reason he ordered Nexus to bury The Undertaker was because he knew it would get the Dead Man's attention. Barrett may not have won the WWE Title like he said he would, but he plans to do something no other man has done in twenty years -- beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Whatever the new cage gimmick the writers come up with
Triple H vs. Sheamus

These two have got enough personal animosity between them that a feud could easily be dragged out to a WrestleMania blow-off. It'll be a year-long story of sorts, with Triple H trying to do a Rocky Balboa and giving it one more shot against the guy who kicked him in the head one too many times. What more perfect way than to debut the new gimmick that has been talked about as a replacement for Hell in a Cell (which the WWE ran into the ground)? Although a regular Hell in a Cell Match (can't believe I'm saying that) would fit this feud, too.

Grudge Match
Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho

Yeah, Orton punted Jericho in the head, and I don't think Jericho would be too happy about it. I have a feeling we'll be getting Cena vs. Orton, but Orton vs. Jericho would probably be the better match, and would have the "special appeal" of Jericho being back.

WWE Intercontinental Championship
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Big Show

I really want to see this match, just because Ziggler works well with bigger guys. Vickie Guerrero and Ziggler seem to have relationship troubles a lot, but I'd like to see them stay together up until a good way into the Road to WrestleMania, where Dolph or Vickie does something that upsets the other -- leading to a split. But Vickie, being the vengeful woman that she is, signs the world's largest athlete to be Ziggler's WrestleMania opponent. While the fans would probably back Ziggler if they two split, and Show is a face, I think this match could have a Big Show/John Cena dynamic from WrestleMania XX -- where I think Cena was either technically still a heel, or was at least cheating to win matches.

Money in the Bank Ladder Match
CM Punk vs. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Kane vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Ted DiBiase vs. The Miz

You have five RAW guys, five SmackDown! guys -- all of them with their own stories heading into the match. CM Punk has won more Money in the Bank briefcases than anyone else -- and has teamed with Kofi Kingston in the past. Cody Rhodes has tag team history with both Drew McIntyre and Ted DiBiase. Drew McIntyre is Mr. McMahon's chosen one, and if McMahon is back on TV by this point, it could be a boost for McIntyre's character. Evan Bourne would be fresh off returning from an injury. Jack Swagger won the ten-man Mania MITB in 2010. John Morrison won a Ladder Match at TLC to become the #1 Contender for the WWE Title. Kane won the SmackDown! Money in the Bank at the PPV with the same name. Kofi Kingston is always a highlight of MITB. Ted DiBiase has the history with Cody Rhodes that we mentioned. The Miz, of course, won the RAW Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed it in successfully to become the former WWE Champion. It'd be a hard match to call.

WWE Tag Team Championship
Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater (c) vs. Rey Mysterio & R-Truth

There's no real reason for this match, other than to get the WWE Tag Team Titles on the PPV, and perhaps provide a good opener. Rey needs a place on the card, and all you need to do is have him develop problems with Nexus when they win the titles back on SmackDown!. R-Truth has taken up the role of being anti-Nexus. The two join forces to form a RAW & SmackDown! unit against Gabriel & Slater. Rey-Truth would at least be pretty over contenders for the titles, and it can play off R-Truth failing to win the belts from Show-Miz the year previous.

Fatal 4-Way for the WWE Divas Championship
Natalya (c) vs. Beth Phoenix vs. Michelle McCool vs. Layla

Basically, Natalya keeps going strong as Divas Champion, and she is set on a collision course with a woman she respects in Beth Phoenix. But meanwhile, McCool and Layla are having their issues, and both want to be Divas Champion again. So Theodore Long just throws these ladies in the ring together to see who comes out champion.

Special Guest Referee: Bret Hart
David Hart Smith vs. Tyson Kidd

It seems unlikely that these two would make the PPV, but I think they should. Both guys have got a very bright future with the WWE, and having Bret Hart referee gives it a "special" feel. It also plays against what happened the year previous at WrestleMania -- with The Hart Dynasty turning face to help out Bret. A year later and Bret has to keep his family from destroying each other.
