CM Punk © vs. The Rock vs. John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar
Lesnar gets involved in Punk and Rocks match at the Rumble, either costing Rock the match or giving Rock the win but by DQ. Cena of course makes the save despite having his own problems with Rock. Punk and Heyman think they have outsmarted everyone but in the end Punk ends up having to put his title on the line against both Cena and Rock. To really show Punk and Heyman who is in control, Vince or whoever adds Lesnar to the match. Now you have two teams, somewhat, yet everyone is on their own and Heyman is put in a compromising situation. I would say the best possible ending to this match for the WWE moving forward would either be have Punk win or have Punk lose but by Heyman screwing him and siding with Lesnar.
World Heavyweight Championship
Even though I dont like either of them myself, having Ryback win the Rumble and then go on to pick Show up over his head, drop him and win the title would be a cool moment. The Rumble doesnt really mean as much as it used to but it is still a guaranteed title match at Mania and Ryback winning could be just what he needs to give him some legitimacy.
Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
These two are too big of names not to be on the card, even though the card will be stacked. So since Orton really wants to turn heel, have him turn by beating the shit out of Sheamus and reminding everyone that although Sheamus and others might have held the title and main evented shows this year, Orton is still the man and has been for the last ten years or so. I hate Orton so I would have Sheamus boot his fucking head off and pin his ass clean.
Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett
I dont know if Taker could keep up with Barrett or if Barrett is ready for Taker at Mania, but I think if they did go up against one another they could probably put on a good match. In building to this match I would have Barrett be runner up in the Rumble, maybe after being in there quite a bit of time. After being screwed out of Mania last year with an injury and just coming up short at winning the Rumble, Barrett is pissed and in a final effort to main event Mania, he starts talking shit about Taker. Come Mania, Barrett ends up eating his words.
They are going to wrestle each other again inevitably, despite their tag team being awesome. I would drag out the tag team thing until the Rumble or the Elimination Chamber or something, have them lose and then fail at regaining the belts, build shit up between them with each of them saying how they are the better half of the team and then they decide to have one more match to settle the score. I dont even think it would matter who won, as long as they hug after before going their separate ways. Maybe have Bryan lose and have people harass him that at least it wasnt 18 seconds.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Zach Ryder
Ziggler fails to cash in his briefcase and win the Rumble. Ryder beaks Ziggler about it unmercifully and the two of them go back and forth with one another, stirring up shit from a while back. Have Ryder win the match and after all the failures, Ziggler takes some time off to re-evaluate his situation. Then have Ziggler return and tear it up.
WWE Tag Team Championship
Del Rio & Rodriguez © vs. Sin Cara & Mysterio vs. Rhode Scholars vs. Santino & Brodus
I was thinking having Del Rio and Rodriguez team up might freshen up Del Rios character a bit which has been pretty stagnant for a while. Have the two of them find their way in to a tag team match with Kane and Bryan and somehow, someway Rodriguez ends up getting the upset victory for his team. Play it off like Del Rio isnt really interested because he wants to go after the heavyweight title, but to Rodriguez its the greatest thing ever and he is super proud of it. I would have Rodriguez again steal the win in this match for his team.
Winners: Del Rio and Rodriguez
This is really the only womans match that would make sense this year I think. After Vickie turns out to be full or shit about the AJ/Cena scandal, AJ is offered her job back as general manager. She turns it down and instead asks for a title shot. AJ wins capping off her year. The next night maybe have it be revealed that AJ was actually Kaitlyns attacker from a few months back. Theyre best friends, but bitches be crazy and AJ is a known schizo.
Antonio Cesaro vs. Kofi Kingston
The US champ takes on the Intercontinental champ but with nothing but respect and honor on the line. Having said all that, Cesaro ends up getting the cheap win.
Miz takes on the Gangnam Style guy.
