Now that the Royal Rumble is in the books, we have a better idea of how the lineup at WrestleMania XXVII might look.
Of course, we still have the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view on Feb. 20 to get through, so there could be some twists and turns yet to come on the road to WrestleMania, which takes place on April 3 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
There also is a possibility of some celebrity involvement in WrestleMania, which obviously would change any preconceived ideas about the card.Here are the matches that I expect to happen:
• WWE champion The Miz vs. John Cena
• World heavyweight champion Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio
• Randy Orton vs. CM Punk
• Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes
Here are the matches that I think could happen:
• The Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett (There has been speculation that Barrett will get the coveted slot against The Undertaker if Undertaker is indeed healthy enough to perform at the show.)
• Triple H vs. Sheamus
• The Big Show vs. Ezekiel Jackson
Here are some potential Money in the Bank ladder match participants (assuming that match will remain part of the show):
• Evan Bourne
• Daniel Bryan
• Christian
• Ted DiBiase Jr.
• Mark Henry
• Kane
• Kofi Kingston
• Drew McIntyre
• John Morrison
• R-Truth
• Jack Swagger
• Dolph Ziggler
Note: There could be some type of match pitting The Nexus against The Corre, but I can't imagine fans would have much interest in two heel factions going at it, especially if Punk and Barrett are not involved in the match. There also will almost certainly be some type of Divas match.
