WrestleMania turning out something like this would not surprise me one bit:
The Rock vs. John Cena
WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho
World Heavyweight Championship
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus
Hell in a Cell
The Undertaker vs. Triple H
The Miz vs. Randy Orton
Team Laurinaitis vs. Team Long
Alberto Del Rio, Christian, David Otunga, Drew McIntyre & Mark Henry vs. The Great Khali, Justin Gabriel, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella and someone like Ezekiel Jackson, Mason Ryan, Ted DiBiase or even Alex Riley (depending on who they want to give the pay-day to)
Kane vs. Zack Ryder
Intercontinental Championship
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Big Show
Divas Championship
Beth Phoenix (c) vs. Kharma
WWE Tag Team Championship
Kofi Kingston & R-Truth (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger
The biggest question mark is just which faces they want in Team Long. They have had Ezekiel Jackson aligned with Teddy Long lately, but he just doesn't seem like he'd be a good fit for the PPV. He's been getting schooled by David Otunga, possibly just to get Otunga over. They slipped Justin Gabriel onto the Elimination Chamber PPV, so maybe they really want to get the kid over? They should probably have some solid workers in there, and not just big men they want to get over in time. That's why I went with Mason Ryan or Ezekiel Jackson. Right now, I think the WWE might have slightly more long-term interest in Ryan. I do think that Alex Riley would be much better choice, but he seems to have pissed someone off.
Kane vs. Zack Ryder may also not have a match, but both men will be on the PPV. Perhaps Kane will just attack Ryder, or something? Or maybe Ryder will save Eve from destruction at Kane's hands, even though she's a bitch, just because he's a nice guy like that.
The Miz vs. Randy Orton makes total sense in context to what is going on over on SmackDown! -- what with The Miz suddenly being on Bryan's dick, not having anything to do for WrestleMania and Randy Orton being put on the shelf with Bryan. It's easy to arrange some sort of Orton vs. Miz encounter from that. It's possible that they might get involved in the World Title picture more directly, though.
