Here is my predicted card and results.
Royal Rumble
RAW: Goldberg, Kane, Booker T, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, Batista, Randy Orton, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Val Venis, Lance Storm, Rob Van Dam, Spike Dudley (optional), Maven (optional), Jon Heidenreich/Al Snow/developmental talent (optional)
SmackDown!: Chris Benoit, John Cena, Kurt Angle, Billy Gunn, Hardcore Holly (maybe), Rikishi, Shannon Moore/Paul London, Nunzio, The Big Show, Matt Morgan, A-Train, Funaki/Ultimo Dragon, The Undertaker, Kanyon, Rhyno
WWE Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Hardcore Holly
Winner: Brock Lesnar, just to keep the title stong heading into WrestleMania. I can see Lesnar also picking up a win via DQ. This match probably won't go long.
World Heavyweight Championship/Last Man Standing
Triple H (c) vs. Shawn Michaels
Winner: Shawn Michaels, they need to change one title at the PPV, and Triple H will have heat going into any match at WrestleMania. I would love to see a Benoit/HBk or a Cena/HBK feud teased, just before WrestleMania. Maybe Michaels/Rock or Austin at Mania? This will probably involve Batista & Flair, as they have nothing else to do. I can see Michaels looking like the pride of RAW here, and winning the title after a quick kickup at 8 or 9.
WWE Intercontinental Championship/Street Fight
Randy Orton (c) vs. Mick Foley
Winner: Randy Orton via forfeit, as Foley doesn't show up. Orton should face either Foley, Maven or Dreamer at the PPV.
Family Feud/Special Guest Referee
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chavo Guerrero
Winner: Chavo Guerrero. Chavo needs some heat. A win against Eddie would do that. I think Eddie could handle this by himself. I can see Eddie getting annoying when the referee of the match (probably Chavo Sr., or another Guerrero family member) costs Eddie the match. Guerrero goes Stne Cold Steve Austin and faces Brock at No Way Out, where Kurt Angle accidently costs him the title. Eddie/Angle at WrestleMania face vs. face. This match will probably go for 20 or so minutes. If Eddie must win, it should be by DQ.
WWE Women's Championship
Molly Holly (c) vs. Trish Stratus vs. Jazz vs. Victoria
Winner: Victoria picks up the upset with a babyface turn and Steven Richards helping her win. Victoria pins Jazz to allow for a potential Victoria/Molly match down the line. This match will go for around 15-20 minutes.
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Tajiri, Akio & Sakoda
Winner: Rey Mysterio. I don't know why but I can see this becomming a handicap match. Either that or Noble added to it in a Triple Threat. Either way, Rey Rey should win this. This will probably last a few minutes longer than the Women's Title match. Maybe we could also see Scotty 2 Hotty added to the match if the WWE are serious about pushing Rikishi in the Rumble.
WWE Tag Team Championship
Basham Brothers vs. Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty vs. The FBI vs. The APA
Winners: The APA. Faarooq & Bradshaw aren't doing anything att he moment, so a title run would fix that. I can see a face team winning this match, just for the sake of it. APA should go into WrestleMania with the titles IMO. I think they should try and change the format of this match and have the champs go first. Then Scotty & Rikishi bite the dust. FBI go next with Faarooq getting the win for a change.
