CM Punk dropped Stone Cold Steve Austin's name seemingly unnecessarily on RAW. If there were plans to do CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania, I'm sure they would know what the go is. More so than ever, I'm thinking that Punk vs. Austin is a real possibility at WrestleMania next year.

That being said, in my dream world, I can't see CM Punk losing the WWE Title until the Royal Rumble against The Rock. Personally, I'd like to see Punk beat The Rock cleanly at the Rumble and use that to mock John Cena, as he goes on to do whatever he does, but is Punk vs. Austin for the WWE Title something the WWE would do? Given that a lot of emphasis on Austin as the Attitude era's biggest star has been removed lately in order to glamorise The Rock, Brock Lesnar and even Triple H and The Undertaker, I actually think that having Punk defend the WWE Title agaisnt Austin at WrestleMania would be a pretty good idea. By then, Punk would have spent over a year as WWE Champion, and that has the advantage of the "when will it actually end?" attraction. Such a reign is pretty unheard of in today's day and age.

I was actually just thinking that I think Survivor Series this year could be pretty epic. These next couple of months in general could be pretty epic. Let's say CM Punk retains the WWE Title at Night of Champions. A great main event for the Hell in a Cell PPV would be CM Punk teaming up with Brock Lesnar against John Cena and Triple H. Two of the biggest feuds the WWE can put forward, heading into the most violent match the WWE has. Following that, Survivor Series could feature "Team Heyman" against "Team Heroic Babyface" with CM Punk and Brock Lesnar leading some heels (Big Show, Mark Henry & The Miz seem like good candidates to me) against John Cena, Triple H and some babyfaces would make a pretty big deal main event. For some reason, I have the idea that The Rock is absolutely out of the picture for Survivor Series, but imagine if the WWE worked some magic and managed to stage this scenario:

John Cena, Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Undertaker
VS.
CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, The Miz, Big Show & Mark Henry

Now there is an epic Survivor Series main event, with a lot of history between so many of the factors. Then you do Cena vs. Punk at TLC in an actual TLC Match, where Punk finally puts Cena behind him, and then we get the Royal Rumble where Punk faces The Rock one-on-one.

But that's sort of besides the point. I used to be entirely for Cena vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania, but for some reason, I'm thinking that they will do Lesnar vs. Taker at WrestleMania. There just doesn't seem to be that "dynamic" between Taker and Cena just yet. Maybe as we get closer to Mania it will become more apparent. So while I would go with Cena vs. Taker, I'm thinking that we get Lesnar vs. Taker instead, and that Brock respectfully puts over Taker in his last WWE performance. My dream would be Shawn Michaels vs. Brock Lesnar, though.

As for what John Cena, The Rock and Triple H do? I don't really want to see Cena vs. Rock II, but I can't really think of anyone else for Cena to face. Cena vs. Randy Orton would be a pretty big match that they haven't done face vs. face yet, though. As for The Rock? He's listed his dream opponents in the past, but I would really like to see him against Daniel Bryan. A lot of people will say "Bryan isn't a star on that level" and all that -- but over the past few months, Bryan has proven his worth as an actual character in the WWE, and it would not surprise me if closer to WrestleMania, more and more hints are dropped for a Rock vs. Bryan feud, and that Bryan could even end up in the Paul Heyman camp heading into WrestleMania against The Rock. Just a thought. Bryan is also a dude that could put over The Rock without losing any momentum for himself. Also, if they could do The Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin against CM Punk & Daniel Bryan? Yeah, I'd jizz.

If they go with that idea that was rumoured of putting Ric Flair in Dolph Ziggler's corner, then I could see Triple H vs. Ziggler at WrestleMania. Something like that would be a really cool way to have Ziggler arrive at that next level. But I can't help but think that the WWE will fast-track Ziggler to the main event even quicker, and that we'll get Sheamus vs. Ziggler for the World Title, with Triple H facing someone else. Hell, if Damien Sandow keeps impressing people, it could even be him. I'm going to go with the odd prediction of Cody Rhodes, however. Rhodes is the total package the WWE is looking for, and a story between the two is not too hard to think of.

So, to summarise, while I'm sure I'm way off, this card does not seem to be the most unrealistic thing I can imagine for WrestleMania:

The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar

John Cena vs. Randy Orton

WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

World Heavyweight Championship
Sheamus (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler

The Rock vs. Daniel Bryan

Triple H vs. Cody Rhodes

Mask vs. Mask
Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara
