At the moment, we have Ricochet, who is a cold IC champion due to there being no storyline he's involved in. It appears that the only reason he was given the title was so Zayn/Knoxville wouldn't have to be booked as a non-title. With most if not all WM celebrity matches, the celebrity goes over. Ricochet as IC champ is as lukewarm as Kalisto was when he was US champ. And the only credible heel on the Smackdown roster that I can think of who isn't in a program is Jinder Mahal, and that's not saying much.
Then there is Kofi, who is currently feuding with Sheamus, Holland, and Butch. With both Woods and Big E inactive, I could easily see the Viking Raiders being paired with Kofi to make a 6 man tag. Another option would be for Kofi to work a gauntlet match against all 3.
Just like last year, the go home Smackdown will most likely be the glorified WrestleMania kickoff show featuring talent who isn't working Saturday or Sunday, along with those on the card just coming out and cutting promos. Therefore, they have to have some matches on Smackdown, and these are two that could easily fit.

Honestly them facing eachother wouldn’t be a bad idea. Or just make that tag match with Kofi a multi man match for the IC title

I felt they were building towards all 3 members New Day vs Sheamus and his pals
now, obviously this isn't happening
maybe they'll go Kofi, King Woods and Ricochet vs Sheamus and pals

By the logic WWE was spewing a few weeks ago on Raw, Ricochet will have a match at Mania. Against who? Hell if I (or they, for that matter) know.

Will Woods be back in time? The original plan was apparently New Day vs. Sheamus and Pals, so they must believe he'll be healthy enough to return by Mania, at least for a tag match where he can just do short spots. |

They have enough guys to do a ladder match for the IC Title surely?
Ricochet
Woods
Kofi
Sheamus
BUTCH
Ridge
Or stick some guys from Raw in it.

Will Woods be back in time? Woods just worked a house show I think. I wouldn't be shocked if the planned 6 man turned into a tag with Ridge and Big E on the outside. I can see the IC Title getting a random match yet again. |

Do Ricochet vs Sheamus and let Kofi win the Andre (though I'm 90% sure it'll be Omos)

Ricochet as a lukewarm IC champ when he won the belt barely a fortnight ago and was featured Smackdown match in a title defence already since...

At this point, Balor vs. Priest seems like it may not happen.

Have Ricochet and Kingston come to Raw and challenge Seth Rollins so he can have his WrestleMania match.
Who else could wrestle Rollins at Mania? If not them, his dreams might be dashed.

Y'know... Seth could easily just go to Smackdown, challenge Ricochet for the IC Title (a title that Seth once held, even!) and that'd be the end of that.

Gut feelings based on what little I’m seeing and reading in reports:
*Balor and Priest still happens at WrestleMania, they’ll do something next week that sets up the demon paint as a surprise on the night
*New Day v Sheamus’s lads happens either as a handicap match or Ricochet gets added to that. If that doesn’t happen…
*Winner of the Andre (apparently going to be held on the go-home SmackDown) fights Ricochet for the IC belt at WM. Simple (lazy) way to determine a contender at absolute shortest notice. Can even tie in the Rollins angle if you want
