Royal Rumble Match
(In no particular order)
1. Shelton Benjamin
2. Edge
3. Christian
4. Kane
5. Gene Snitsky
6. William Regal
7. Chris Jericho
8. Chris Benoit
9. Muhammad Hassan
10. Batista
11. Tyson Tomko
12. Maven
13. Shawn Michaels
14. Matt Hardy
15. Val Venis
16. Daniel Puder
17. Rey Mysteiro
18. Charlie Haas
19. Booker T
20. Luther Reigns
21. Mark Jindrak
22. Orlando Jordan
23. Rene Dupree
24. John Cena
25. Paul London
26. Eddie Guerrero
27. Nunzio
28. Spike Dudley
29. Kenzo Suzuki
30. The Undertaker
Winner: I'm thinking Batista, although Cena and Egde wouldn't surprise me either. I think Rey Mysterio would make a good choice, since he would be as over as a babyface rover at WrestleMania. The same thing with Eddie Guerrero, but Mysterio winning would be a "Holy shit!" moment.

World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Randy Orton
Winner: As unlikely as it seems, I think Randy Orton may get the duke here. He's over, and it's not like thye can epicly build-up his next title win. Just give him an unexpected win, maybe with a miscommunication between Batista and Triple H, or Flair and Triple H (maybe they should tease all three members of Evolution going their seperate way).

Orton winning the title would be a shock, and it doesn't do anything to WrestleMania in any form. Orton can lose the belt on RAW if they want to have Triple H vs. Batista for the title, or they can keep it on him and give Edge the WrestleMania win, or go through with a Triple Threat Match at Mania, with someone from SmackDown! winning the Rumble.

WWE Championship
John Bradshaw Layfield vs. Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show
Winner: John Bradshaw Layfield. I hope they change the rules of this match to be a match where you need to pin both your opponents to win. It would make the match seem more important. Anyway, Angle and Big Show don't really have much of a reason to become SmackDown!'s World Champion. JBL losing (or retaining) the title at WrestleMania is the way to go, IMO. I guess you can have The Big Show win, the lose the title back to JBL at No Way Out.

Casket Match
The Undertaker vs. Heidenreich
Winner: Just give the win to Undertaker here, and send Heidenreich down to OVW to train a bit more.

Grudge Match
Edge vs. Shawn Michaels
Winner: Edge. Hopefully, cleanly.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Funaki vs. Chavo Guerrero
Winner: I'm just adding matches to the card now. I think they'd best have Chavo nearly snap, and demand he gets a position in the Royal Rumble. Theodore R. Long then decides to give Chavo a CW Title shot at the RR.

I'd probably give Funaki the win here. Chavo doesn't need the belt, and you can easily put it on Chavo at anytime. Make this work with Funaki.

World Tag Team Championship
La Resistance vs. The Hurricane & Rosey vs. Rhyno & Tajiri
Winners: It doesn't really matter. I'd probably have the heels retain the titles, then lose them on a RAW or house show where Jericho & Benoit take the belts to either feud with Christian & Tyson Tomko or Muhammad Hassan & Khosrow Daivari.

WWE Tag Team Championship
The Basham Brothers vs. Eddie Guerrero & Booker T
Winners: Just have double duty done here. I can see Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio getting a title shot, but I think they need to go forward with storylines. Have The Bashams retain here.

Yup, we are, and will be for every PPV this year. The thread will be up once Raw and Smackdown are done this week so we have the full card.

Mine will be up as well. Remember, it's open to everyone since we run on a "current champion" basis instead of a points system leading to the end of the year championship. Our current champ is Corndad. Be there, or be unheard![/advertisement]
