This would definitely be brought up by the announcers heading into the match. Lesnar and Del Rio both have submission moves that target that arm. You'd have these two work the Rumble together, and then at Elimination Chamber, you run Triple H vs. Lesnar II. The Chamber PPV could use a boost from having a legitimately big draw like that one on it. Lesnar vs. Triple H might not capture too many imaginations for WrestleMania XXIX, but like Hogan vs. Rock II, it would be great for that February PPV spot.
At that PPV, Shawn Michaels returns and kicks Brock Lesnar in the face, sending him into a Pedigree for the rebound victory for Triple H. Lesnar is all furious and he and Paul Heyman challenge the retired Shawn Michaels for WrestleMania.
I still think Lesnar vs. Michaels would not only be a classic, but that Lesnar and HBK, given their size and styles, would have one of the most interesting dynamics the WWE could ever play on. Lesnar would be such a heel and HBK would be such a babyface. I can't imagine them not having a Match of the Year candidate together.
In my dream world, Triple H would then lead a team against The Shield for WrestleMania. The feuds against Del Rio and Lesnar would remind people that he is the "lifeblood" of WWE; The Shield represent change and an upheaval of what they perceive to be injustices in the running of WWE. Who does Triple H choose to go into battle against The Shield? How about some old friends he knows he can trust to get the job done? One of the stand-out groups in recent WWE history. Randy Orton and Batista teaming up with Triple H as Evolution for one night at WrestleMania could be pretty huge stuff, but wouldn't overwhelm the main events. You also have Ric Flair show up alongside them as a bit of an unannounced WrestleMania surprise.
I'm not sure if those rumours that Sting might sign with the WWE when his current TNA deal expires are true or not, but if they were, it would be huge. The Undertaker vs. Sting at WrestleMania is something that would capture the imaginations of old fans from the Attitude era (and even before that). CM Punk could also very easily remain the WWE Champion until WrestleMania. Have him defend against The Rock and John Cena in a massive Triple Threat main event.
Dolph Ziggler could be the World Heavyweight Champion very soon if he keeps Money in the Bank. If AJ Lee turns heel and aligns with Ziggler at TLC, then she could be paired with the World Heavyweight Champion heading into WrestleMania for the second year in a row. That would also add to my proposed match for Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania -- versus Daniel Bryan. All you need to do is go over the varied Slammy Award categories to see just how valuable this man has been to the WWE this year. Sheamus is definitely up there, too, but I do think that Dolph Ziggler vs. Daniel Bryan would be a match between two of the WWE's MVPs and a mat classic that could balance out the higher drawing matches. Bryan earning a title shot either via the Royal Rumble, or perhaps even by becoming King of the Ring between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania would be a pretty good way to set him up to challenge Ziggler, who would be paired with the woman who escorted him to the ring as he was World Heavyweight Champion just a year before.
That leaves Ryback to face Big Show and giving us the WrestleMania moment of him Shell-Shocking The Giant.
Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs. The Rock vs. John Cena
World Heavyweight Championship
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
The Undertaker vs. Sting
Shawn Michaels vs. Brock Lesnar
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Evolution vs. The Shield
Big Show vs. Ryback
That card realistically has very little chance of happening (see #1-wwf-fan for a realistic Mania card), but I would greatly enjoy that show, and it really feels like there is something for everyone on the card.
