Considering the real lack of big names worthy to take on Taker in the biggest hyped match of the year, Punk might be the only big name left considering Cena is already booked and Orton probably gets involved in a title match. Triple H could face Taker but then that would be the third match they've had while others such as Ziggler or Barrett would be a bit risky to use as of now. Daniel Bryan most likely is involved in a title match so that takes him out of any potential young wrestler as a challange and doubt the WWE would use Christian or the Big Show.
Cody Rhodes is the only potential big name I can think of to replace Punk for the match.

I don't see anything wrong with Cody Rhodes facing Undertaker at Mania if it were to happen. Its a good logical step in building Rhodes as a main event contending heel, keeps the Undertaker character and domination over Mania alive for one more year and the streak alive and what not. Honestly makes no sense for Punk vs Taker at Mania considering the way creative is writing atm it looks like they are drawing potentially for Miz to win the Royal Rumble and going to face Punk at Mania.
Granted creative always changes shit on a day to day basis and right now as I've read/heard there are not even any plans in place for Taker to return before Mania. From what i've heard he is set to return either at or after Wrestlemania.
And don't get me started on the hole Jericho thing, from what I heard negotiations fell through with WWE weeks ago regarding a possible return and I haven't heard that they have went back to the drawing table to try and make him a more solid offer.
