From the recent WON...

"The Mania lineup at this point is looking like:

- Goldberg vs. Lesnar
- Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
- HHH vs. Seth Rollins
- Jericho vs. Owens
- Wyatt vs. Orton
- Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal
- Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax as the Raw women’s title match.

The key is the Rumble winner is likely, although they could swerve, to be the person who will challenge for either the Universal title or WWE title. The only Smackdown match on that list is Orton vs. Wyatt, and it’s not a secret that Wyatt was scheduled for a title run in 2017. That immediately puts both of them in contention, and if one wins, the other would be favored to win the Chamber match. There’s a story that just started going around about Orton winning the Rumble and Wyatt winning the Chamber match. If that doesn’t happen, it would be because plans changed. Even though historically the booking before Mania always gets out and it almost never changed (it changes for other reasons, such as injuries or guys quitting, but that’s usually known as well), with the increase in social media, my feeling is nothing is a lock until it happens. I doubt we’ll see major destination changes, in the sense the top of the card will probably be pretty close to as is slated now, but how to get there could change."

I can't see that being the card.

There's no AJ, Cena, no annual IC title ladder match, no Finn Balor, no Samoa Joe, no Kurt Angle, no Braun, theres just too many holes in that card.

Things will change between now and then.

Please add AJ vs Joe. Cena vs Strowman interpromotional match. Or make it AJ vs Joe vs Cena and have Ambrose vs Strowman cause there's nothing else for him except the ladder match(again) or against Borin Corbin.

There's obviously holes in that, although I think it's a safe bet that Goldberg/Lesnar, HHH/Rollins, Owens/Jericho, and some form of Charlotte/Bayley are happening.

I think the Cena/Ambrose/Styles, and SmackDown in general, matches are not listed on that lineup because either he can't say or doesn't know what they are, and I think the omission is deliberate there.

But, Reigns/Undertaker... yikes. They really don't want to do Cena/Taker that bad?

THIS IS MELTZER'S GUESSING OF THE WRESTLEMANIA CARD.

But this card might be Triple H's conspiracy to steal the show with Rollins LOL.

The idea of Roman beating Taker and then Taker endorsing him wont work, Daniel Bryan and Rock endorsed Roman before and it didnt work.
Roman must turn heel after the Taker match.

AJ-Shane is a lock ... everyone can see it.Poor AJ!

Orton is stuck with the Wyatts. Poor Randy!

Goldberg-Brock as the Main Event is a very bad idea. their WM XX match was terrible.

Joe-Cena could be very good ... but Joe can't be another guy that lost to Cena. Joe needs to be strong for a future program with Brock.

Jericho-Owens could be good.

Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal. I hope Big show wins and gets him WM moment and retire or something.

Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax Dont Care ...

For more info on this rumored card, from the Observer:

Among the key guys, the obvious guys not on the list of matches are Cena, Styles, Balor, Dean Ambrose and Strowman of guys that will likely be in key matches. Cena vs. Samoa Joe was definitely an idea that was pitched, and made sense based on a few things we’ve heard, but we’ve never heard a confirmation on that. There are rumors of Styles vs. Shane McMahon, and Styles did complain about the idea of the Elimination Chamber match to Shane and neither have anything going. As noted before, Goldberg agreeing to stay past one match may have saved Lesnar from this year’s Shane program and Shane pitched for that idea and they had started in that direction before it was dropped cold.

Undertaker vs. Reigns is notable because Vince McMahon made the call to go from the original Undertaker vs. Cena direction to this match. On paper, this would make it a lock that nobody is coming close to the boos Reigns will be getting on this show. Regardless of the outcome, this to me only makes sense if the plan is an all-out Reigns heel turn and use this as the springboard. Otherwise, the idea of Undertaker beating him and then endorsing him won’t work, because Daniel Bryan and Rock endorsed him and it didn’t work. Undertaker losing to him unless the match is dramatically perfect will only get him more heel heat.

What they do with Joe at the Rumble will give us a good idea of what AJ, Cena and Ambrose are going to do. Joe might go to Raw as a face and do something with Strowman or he could go as a heel and do something with Balor. Or I wouldn't be shocked if Joe attacks Cena at the Rumble costing him the title. Either way it appears AJ/Shane is going to happen. While Cena either wrestles Joe or Ambrose at Mania. With Ambrose back up option IC ladder match. While on Raw they could do Joe/Balor or Joe/Strowman or Balor/Strowman or put Balor with Anderson/Gallows in some big tag match. Either way it appears a lot of good wrestlers might end up in Andre the Giatn Rumble.
