That would be awesome and I'm sure it will happen though. Afterall, Mr. Kennedy had his unique entrance in the SvR games, so I can't see why Del Rio won't.

I can't really imagine many new faces making it on the SvR12 roster though.

If I had to create a roster using only 56 slots like last year, I imagine this as being the roster.

Alberto Del Rio
Alex Riley
Alicia Fox
Beth Phoenix
Big Show
Booker T*
Brie Bella
Brodus Clay
Chavo Guerrero
Chris Masters
Christian
CM Punk
Cody Rhodes
Curt Hawkins
Daniel Bryan
Dolph Ziggler
Drew McIntyre
Edge
Evan Bourne
Eve
Ezekial Jackson
Gail Kim
Heath Slater
Jack Swagger
Jerry Lawler*
John Cena
John Morrison
JTG
Justin Gabriel
Kane
Kelly Kelly
Kofi Kingston
Layla
Mark Henry
Maryse
Melina
Michael Cole*
Natalya
Nikki Bella
Primo
R-Truth
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
Santino Marella
Sheamus
Sin Cara
Ted DiBiase
The Miz
Triple H
Tyson Kidd
The Undertaker
Vladimir Kozlov
Wade Barrett
William Regal
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder

* = If they have brand specific commentators, then I think they'll be in the game as playable characters, but if it's like last years game which only had Lawler and Cole, I think Booker T will be in the game, but Lawer and Cole's spot would be taken by Goldust and The Great Khali.

Also, I think Edge will be included in the game even though he's no longer part of the roster. I can imagine it as being a sortof "Farewell" game for Edge, sortof in a similar fashion to Shawn Michaels being included in SvR11 just after he retired.

If Edge isn't on the main roster he'll definitely be in the "Legends" section.

I expect he'll be on the main roster, much like HBK was last year. This will probably be his last SD game though, I don't see him being a perrenial legend like Rock, Austin, Vince, and (most likely) HBK. Could also see Lawler getting in the game this year. Booker T also has a decent chance since they put Steamboat in last year and hyped him as being a "WCW legend". Think they'll also put Diesel in to take advantage of his Legends deal. Don't see Cole being in as a playable guy, though I could see him being a throw-in for DLC (Kharma will be heavily requested DLC this year too I'm sure).

Last year's roster was massive. By my count there were 72 playable characters out of box (one of which was Bret who I think was actually on the disk even though not everybody got him by default). I gotta think The Hurricane was meant to be playable but they scrapped it after his release well before Mania, leaving him in only for his Road to WM skit. There's also evidence in Road to WM that guys like Carlito and Khali were in but were scrapped, so conceivably the roster could be as high as 74-75 out of box.

I think everyone who was in last year's game that was still around at about WM time this year (including Edge and McCool) will return. Being in the game before always gives you a leg-up at inclusion the next year. Between the active roster, 10 or so legends, and the token spot or two for random characters like the Druid - I think you'll be left with only a few spots to pick between the New Nexus or the Trent Barretas and Tyler Rekses of the world.

Was definitely not getting anymore Smackdown games after the last few but then I read this. I'm not sure I could not buy WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 20Nash, which is obviously what the title will be if he's in
