loopydate, your WrestleMania predictions are very similar to mine:

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP: John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk
The story here is that CM Punk wins the Royal Rumble with the help of his fanatic followers, and secures himself a place in the main event. At Elimination Chamber, the odds are stacked against The Miz, when he faces John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Morrison and Triple H in the Elimination Chamber for the WWE Title. The Miz starts the match off, and makes it right to the end somehow, but the "must-see WWE Title reign" is ended when John Cena pins The Miz following an Attitude Adjustment. CM Punk is shown applauding Cena from the stage after the match.

The story here is that Punk believes that he, as The Straight-Edge Savior, should be considered the franchise of the WWE. He mentions how he used to respect Cena for being a company man, but talks about all his flaws. Punk really brings hustle, loyalty and respect. I'm sure Cena would walk out of WrestleMania the WWE Champion, but I have a feeling that Punk would win the WWE Title at Extreme Rules.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Edge (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian
Alberto Del Rio calls it his destiny to be the World Heavyweight Champion, but he is eventually eliminated from the Royal Rumble after Christian makes his surprise return, tossing out Del Rio (perhaps even not as an official participant). Del Rio makes a big stink about it, and Christian wants to face Del Rio, but Del Rio wants Edge and the World Heavyweight Title.

Now, I don't know how they get there exactly, as they have to work through Elimination Chamber -- but I think we see shenanigans that go down, which doesn't give us a clear #1 Contender. Vickie Guerrero declares that both Christian and Alberto Del Rio will face Edge at WrestleMania with the big gold belt on the line. I can't see Edge walking out of that match as champion, and while I'd like to see it go to Christian, in a feel-good moment, it'd probably be Del Rio winning the big one.

The Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett
This one is simple: Wade Barrett doesn't win the Royal Rumble, so he vows to win the Elimination Chamber. He doesn't win that, either, because The Undertaker returns, costing Barrett (and possibly Kane) the match. Barrett cuts a few promos about how he buried The Undertaker so that he could rise, but now Taker is back, he wants to end his WrestleMania streak. He doesn't do that, but the presence of The Corre is enough to give people doubt Taker will be walking out 19-0.

NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH: Sheamus vs. Triple H
The Game returns on the post-Rumble edition of RAW, and does the usual return promo. Sheamus makes his way out and wants to know what Triple H is doing in his ring. At the Royal Rumble he was screwed (John Morrison and Daniel Bryan team together to eliminate him), and he is thinking forward to the Elimination Chamber, and he doesn't need the past showing up and wasting time on his show. He tells Triple H to get out of his ring, or he'll beat him down even worse than he did at Extreme Rules. Triple H says that he's actually come back to announce that he's ready to make a comeback, and wants to be in the Elimination Chamber himself. Sheamus asks Triple H who he thinks he is, the General Manager of RAW won't allow this. Triple H reveals that the General Manager is already here, and sends a text to Michael Cole, who confirms this.

The Game steps down as General Manager, so he can be an active competitor, and Sheamus is all "I'll get Triple H inside the most dangerous structure in the WWE...I'm looking forward to it, fella." During that match, Triple H starts early, and Sheamus starts late -- allowing the High King to surprise Triple H with a Brogue Kick, and pin him, ending Triple H's dreams of another WWE Title win at WrestleMania. The King of Kings takes exception to this, and Pedigrees Sheamus, allowing John Morrison to pin him. Sheamus is furious, and challenges Triple H to another No Holds Barred Match at WrestleMania XXVII. Triple H wants to accept, but Stephanie McMahon is shown in backstage segments begging Triple H not to, for the sake of his family. Triple H's pride as a competitor is eventually goaded by Triple H taking things too far and approaching Triple H's daughters, or something, and the match is set.

Triple H manages to reach down deep and win the match at WrestleMania, leading to a Hell in a Cell at Extreme Rules. Hopefully the Hell in a Cell PPV concept is scrapped, and the match can go back to being used for feuds which warrant it. There, Sheamus gets a final victory, before he makes another run for the World Title.

Randy Orton & Jerry Lawler vs. The Miz & Alex Riley
I don't think Jerry Lawler needs to wrestle at WrestleMania, but I can definitely see it happening, with him being more involved in the in-ring aspect of things recently. Also, while Orton vs. The Miz one-on-one would probably be a straight-up better match, the inclusion of the old veteran and the young rookie throws the dynamics all about. Yes, we did see this match recently on RAW, but I think the WWE will forget this, or pump it full of some sort of stipulation.

WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Rey Mysterio
I don't know why I am predicting this match. I just see it happening. It'd be face vs. face, but two high-flyers that the WWE loves to promote. They'd be lots of hand-shakes and "I respect yous" going around this program. But hopefully Kofi Kingston would win, and get a big victory going forward in his career.

Big Show vs. Dolph Ziggler
I'm still predicting this match. The Big Show has been in Money in the Bank before, but they love finding him other stuff to do on the main WrestleMania card. Ziggler is a star on the rise, and I see him coming into this match with two back-to-back PPV challenges for the World Heavyweight Title. The story here would be that after failing to win the big one, Ziggler passive aggressively snaps at Vickie Guerrero (the acting GM), and she freaks. Ziggler apologises profusely, but Vickie is a woman scorned, and says that she does forgive Dolph, and she's going to give Ziggler a chance to steal the show at WrestleMania...against The Big Show! Ziggler is at first disappointed and overwhelmed, but soon adapts to the challenge -- trying to climb the ranks in the WWE, as well as keep his sorta-girlfriend happy. And Ziggler does win this match, hopefully -- bringing The Giant down with his Sleeper Hold.

MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH: Cody Rhodes vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Justin Gabriel vs. Kane vs. R-Truth vs. Ted DiBiase
As always, this match is essentially just the guys that are left over getting WrestleMania paydays. Justin Gabriel is in the match representing himself and Corre. But the only two really stand-out picks for winners are Daniel Bryan and John Morrison, and I do think that Morrison wins it this year -- playing off so many victories over Sheamus, who is also on the rise. I wouldn't rule out a surprise Jack Swagger win, though.

WWE DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP: Natalya (c) vs. Beth Phoenix vs. Michelle McCool vs. Layla
Natalya and Beth are basically on a collision course with the Divas Title on the line, but LayCool will no doubt insert themselves into the WrestleMania title picture. The story here will be whether or not McCool and Layla co-operate long enough to secure the belt, or whether Natalya & Beth can take them out, and make it between them. I, too, see Kong debuting after this match, and destroying everyone.
