SD tag titles maybe.
I see some people thinking the cruiserweight match was going to be part of the main card. That's faith my friends.

Add a no time limit stip to the falls count anywhere already on Shane/Miz and let them open the show, immediately brawl to the back, and then do pre-taped brawl spots all over that they cut to for the next six hours until they end up back at ringside for the finish right before the main event.

I feel like doing the IC Title match first would be smart to get Finn out there in the Demon look, get the crowd excited, and run through a pretty fast match. But then you’d have to send Lashley out first so he can sell Finn’s entrance, and I don’t think you want Lashley to be the first person you see when you tune into WrestleMania.
So I would probably go with AJ and Randy or Kofi and Bryan.

Styles/Orton seems like a safe bet. That's a really hot feud with very little story but enough to be invested in as the first match of the night.

Lesnar/Seth is the title match most of the crowd care about least. Do it early. If it’s great, the energy will be wonderful. If not, it won’t be too deflating.

I’d go with Styles v Orton. Balor in the demon paint has the same kind of issues in open air daylight that Undertaker has... The entrance is better served being done in the dark.

I'm guessing Smackdown Tag Team titles open the main card, given the level of talent involved that could deliver a fun opener, and you got a bunch of entrances that'll get better pops the sooner they come out.

Shane and Miz would been a fun brawl to start the show but I feel like putting them in the opening would give them way too much time
Orton/Styles is perfect for about 15 min opening to pop the crowd as they already did the forearm into RKO so best believe they got some other crazy shit planned

The Cruiserweightntitle is confirmed for the pre show according to 205 Live.
I like the idea of Kofi vs Bryan opening though.

I predict that it will be a match that features people.

Either tag title match will be a buffer between the top matches

Right and we also need to look at the opening match at these past few WMs
WM30 - Bryan/Triple H WM31 - IC Ladder Match WM32 - IC Ladder Match WM33 - Styles/Shane WM34 - Rollins/Miz/Balor
Each of these matches has a great worker or workers in it. Shane/Miz is dope and all and I'm sure it'll be wild with no DQ but a match like that doesn't need to be first. Styles/Orton would be a great opener.

They should probably start off with Angle vs Corbin, just to get that shit out of the way. Maybe Joe vs Mysterio? Two over guys in a match no one has real reason to care about.

This would be f***ing amazing. They did similar with Harper/Ambrose that one time, I would love this.
