I'm going to give this another go, and this is less what I want to see, and more what I do think will go down:
World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio
WWE Championship
The Miz (c) vs. John Cena
Ten Years in the Making
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
Nexus Banned from Ringside
Randy Orton vs. CM Punk
Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes
Loser Leaves RAW Commentary Team
Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Michael Cole
4-on-1 Handicap Match
The Corre vs. Big Show
WWE United States Championship
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus
Triple Threat Match for the WWE Divas Championship
Eve Torres (c) vs. Michelle McCool vs. Layla
Mixed Tag Team Match - If Dolph Ziggler & Vickie Guerrero win, they are re-instated
Drew McIntyre & Kelly Kelly vs. Dolph Ziggler & Vickie Guerrero
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Chris Masters vs. Christian vs. Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Kane vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Mark Henry vs. Santino Marella vs. Ted DiBiase
NXT Pro vs. NXT Rookie
R-Truth vs. Johnny Curtis
Alright, some of this might need some explaining. With Johnny Curtis, I think they have big plans for him. Don't ask me why, it's just my gut feeling. If the WWE wants to make NXT mean something -- anything, then Curtis doing something is a good bet. When Curtis & Truth get their WWE Tag Team Title opportunity against The Corre, I see Curtis turning on Truth, and claiming that he was never there for him, and he's going into business for himself. Cue Truth getting mighty pissed off at Curtis, leading to this match. Truth could also be cost a spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match to Ted DiBiase. This leads to Curtis and Truth signing off on their WrestleMania match. Hey, you need a cooler in there somewhere.
I'd like to see Christian involved in the World Title program, too, but I think it's unlikely the WWE will actually go ahead with it. I think he'll be involved, and cancel out some heel interference from Brodus Clay (who I think will be hot-shotted to the main roster as Del Rio's bodyguard), but other than that, Money in the Bank is again perfect for Christian. He's a big enough star to make it look like a legitimate title opportunity match, but he's not big enough to be needed elsewhere. I don't think any of the other guys would be a shock to see in the match, besides maybe Santino Marella, but he's getting a sort of sideways push at the moment. You could replace him with essentially anyone, but I could very easily see Santino being in it this year.
The Mixed Tag I am not sure of, and we could very easily just see Dolph & Vickie pop-up on RAW, but I could also see them playing their cards right and somehow getting back on SmackDown! in this situation where their jobs are on the line at WrestleMania for good. Drew McIntyre & Kelly Kelly's angle has to be going somewhere, too, right?
Eve Torres will be on the PPV, as will LayCool. I see the heels trying to work together to beat Eve, but Trish Stratus costs them the match, and they end up beating each other up to a huge pop.
Sheamus and Daniel Bryan warrant their own spot on the card, and this is your courtesy mid-card title match.
I would like to have seen The Corre do something more meaningful, but I don't think we will. Big Show has been yelling stuff like "I'll knock you all out!" and we saw Show essentially squash three men (one of them CM Punk) at SummerSlam, the second biggest PPV of the year. If this match happens, though, I expect it to be a ritual killing of Big Show, to further try and get The Corre over as a pack of heels in their WrestleMania debut.
Lawler vs. Cole won't so much be a match as a couple of minutes of marking out before Cole takes the Piledriver and is replaced by Jim Ross for the main event matches.
Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes is being set-up beautifully, and will happen. CM Punk vs. Randy Orton is pretty much in the same boat, too. The other matches are all confirmed.
