Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy will happen
Edge could loose his WHC in the next 49 days
Triple H vs Randy Orton or Vince McMahon vs Randy Orton makes a lot of sense.
Chris Jericho vs Micky Rourke, managed by Ric Flair will be the celebrity involvement.
A matchb involving Stone Cold could also be on tne cards

World Heavyweight Championship Edge (C) vs. John Cena
WWE Title Triple H (C) vs. Randy Orton
There is no way Orton won't have a title match at Mania'. Unless he gets seriously injured, the winner of the Rumble will have a WT match. Mania' is all about tradition and such and one of the hard and fast rules of the WWE in recent memory has been for the RR winner to have a title match.
I do however think the Cena to SD! and HHH to Raw move could happen w/ Edge staying on SD! and keeping the big gold belt there.
Remember, although not explicitly stated, HHH went to SD! because Steph was primarily working their schedule and creative team so the two of them could be together more.
Now that she's back traveling with Raw, it makes sense that he would come back there and bring the title with him.
As for the rest of the card:
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy in some kind of street fight, no-DQ, they can use ladders and weapons, etc. match
Women's Championship Melina (C) vs. Beth Phoenix
ECW Championship Jack Swagger (C) vs. Christian vs. Mr. Kennedy
I'm on the fence as to what they do with HBK and Undertaker. If Taker' fights Big Show, that match may be my piss break as there ain't a chance in hell Show goes over.
Another idea I had was for HBK to befriend Mickey Rourke and fight Jericho. Rourke then of course factors into the decision or is the special guest ref/enforcer/something to involve him in the match itself but make him not have to actually wrestle.
If that happens, then Taker' of course beats Big Show. If not, Rourke and Jericho will have some kind of match/confrontation/whatever and HBK may fight Taker'.
MiTB Ladder Match CM Punk vs. John Morrison vs. Kofi vs. Umaga vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Vladimir Koslov vs. ?
I think sadly Kane will be left off the Mania' card and if the ECW title match isn't a 3-way, whoever isn't fighting Swagger can fill this spot.

I would love Kozlov vs. Austin.

I hope Edge keeps the title all the way through Mania. I loved what happened at NWO, but I think they should let Edge have a longer reign this time. He doesn't have to win clean, just let him keep the belt for a few months. *fingers crossed*

I'm starting to think that JBL won't have a match at 'Mania. He'll just come out and cut a promo.
Storyline wise, though, it does kind of make sense. He had his chances to be in a big match on the card and failed. He could have defeated Cena at the Rumble and walked into WM 25 as World Heavyweight Champion, but he lost. And he could have faced the Undertaker and tried to end the streak, but couldn't top HBK.
Granted, I know that match hasn't happened yet, but I'm 99% sure Shawn will win. HBK vs. UT > JBL vs. UT.

Jericho running a Legends gauntlet culminating in an Austin one-off? Not announcing who the legends will be would make it more intriguing.

I wonder what Kane and Big Show will do. It would be odd to see them off the show. I still wouldn't mind seeing some kind of Hoss Battle...Khali, Kane, Show vs. Kozlov, Umaga, and Knox. O O my god that would be awesome. Futhermore, if Kofi's not in the MITB I will... be upset

Another thing I think might happen
Jericho is actually going to be facing Stone Cold, not Flair, not Mickey Rourke, Austin.
This whole feud is leading in the direction that amounts to Jericho feuding with the Hall of Fame. I think in the next few weeks expect to see Jericho cut a promo about the Hall of Fame being a farce or something, and since Austin is being inducted this year it'd be perfect
And remember those Flair is inducting Austin rumors? Flair being the guy in Austin's corner even makes more sense with that little touch

Am I the only one who sees here a possibility of Orton vs Edge for the WHC and Triple H vs Undertaker for the WWE title? (and a possibility that Taker LOSES to HHH?) other matches I could imagine seeing: Christian vs Tommy Dreamer for the ECW title. Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy no holds barred. Money in the Bank: John Morrison, C.M.Punk, Mr Kennedy, MVP, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, R-Truth, Jack Swagger. John Cena vs Shawn Michaels vs JBL. Stone Cold Steve Austin (w Rick Flair) vs Chris Jericho. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiasi vs Rey Mysterio and The Great Khali. Kane vs Big Show. i think Kofi should replace swagger in the mitb

From what took place last night... HHH/Orton Edge/Cena HBK or JBL/Taker Jericho/(possibly) Austin Divas Gauntlet Yes folks, 3 faces coming to ringside to stop outside interference is clearly leading to a diva's gauntlet match. How did we not all see this?

Right now, it looks like this is the card for mania:
Jeff/Matt Christian/Swaggah HBK/Taker Jericho/Rourke MITB Edge/Cena Orton/HHH
And honestly, that's a card worth buying.

Doesn't Taker have any say in who he wrestles?

WWE Title Match HHH vs. Orton
This one is pretty obvious. It has already been set up. I imagine that Orton will win due to Priceless threatening Stephanie, distracting HHH.
WHC title match Edge vs Cena
This was also already set up. Considering that Edge never gets long reigns, I don't see him walking out of WM with the title, especially since I think Orton will walk off with the WWE title.
Streak threatening match Undertaker vs. HBK vs. JBL
I am hoping that next week HBK vs JBL ends in a draw, because I think that a Texas Trio match could be interesting, as well as raising the possibility that UT could lose his streak without actually losing. He won't, of course, but the threat of HBK continuing his ownage of JBL at UT's expense could make it a little more interesting. The real question is who takes the Tombstone for the finish.
"The Wrestler" cross-promotional match Jericho vs ?
This is a match that will happen, though who the involved parties will be is the real question. Austin would be a nice touch, especially since Jericho has mentioned a few times recently that he beat Austin and Rock in the same night (not to mention that he successfully defended against both as well). It would be a nice full circle type of thing.
Diva Battle Royale
There is usually a pointless diva match at WM, and I think that a battle royale would be the best for this purpose. They usually eliminate the top rope rule for these since the few times they don't lead to at least one diva getting injured. I expect the highlight involved Rosa accidentally costing Beth the match at the end.
Tag Title Unification match The Colons vs. Miz and Morrison
WWE is obviously intent on pushing Miz and Morrison but understandedly reluctant to pull the trigger on splitting them, so the only way to further elevate them is to set them up as the team that feuds with the rest of the WWE. They can face challenges from Crime Tyme, The Colons, Rey and Bourne, Jesse and Festus, Hawkins and Ryder, and any other teams comprised of individuals trying to avoid being future endeavored.
ECW title match Christian vs. Mark Henry
I think that by the time WM comes around, Christian will be ECW champion. I have him defending against Henry rather than Swagger for a couple of reasons.
1. Swagger will otherwise be busy. 2. There is no better use for Henry at WM this year anyways.
The obvious ending will be Christian winning, but it could be fun getting there. Henry was able to remain a threat to Hardy for a while despite losing to him often, so they might catch lightning in a bottle twice. with him.
US title match Benjamin vs MVP
This match has been in the making for a few weeks now, and I suspect it will wrap up at WM. It will likely end with MVP as champ again. Not much else to say about it right now.
MITB Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy vs Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk vs Jack Swagger vs Umaga vs Evan Bourne vs Kofi Kingston vs Finlay
I'm sure that many might question my reasoning for some of my choices here, so I'll explain them:
Jeff Hardy - Jeff is not interested in addressing his issues with his brother, so their meeting in this match will advance the feud while adding both a big match spot monkey to the match in Jeff.
Matt Hardy - Matt is a solid hand in any case, but few have as much experience in big ladder matches as Matt. Add to that the fact that both Hardy's in the match will also set up future matches in their feud while adding some needed star power to the match since it adds two more individuals that might possibly win the thing, making it much harder to predict the winner.
Rey Mysterio - They have been pushing Rey moderately hard lately, and it has paid off in fan reactions. Continuing the push by making him a legit threat to win the MITB could make him a suitable challenger to Orton over the summer.
CM Punk - A former MITB and WHC, Punk is over like few others are. He is another that could be used as a challenger to Orton.
Swagger - He won't win, but Swagger could be counted on being used in a neat ladder spot or two, plus more heels are needed in this match.
Umaga - He would have nothing better to do, plus he would be a great addition to this match. He joins Swagger in this match as someone there primarily to toss people around in impressive fashion.
Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston - Both are here to be impressive spot monkeys. They could both come out stronger for not winning if used well as well.
Finlay - He's there for the same reason that he is usually used; he's a solid hand for any use.
Granted, only the first four listed even have a shot at winning, but that it two more possible winners than we had last year.
Undercard match for no real reason other than to give them a WM payday Kozlov vs Big Show
Not much else to say about this match other than to say that it will likely happen.
Dark match: IC title match New champ (likely either Knox or Regal) vs Kane
It's a dark match. Why should I even bother with details?
