Ok, but like I said, for Kofi Kingston to main event SmackDown!, Rey and Undertaker would both have to be gone, and WWE would have to keep the entire Raw roster in tact. There have been rumors of possibly bringing a few main eventers over from Raw to SmackDown! to beef it up when the channel change to Sci-Fi occurs in hopes of expanding the audience. Now if that happens, there's no chance that Kofi main events. No chance. CM Punk could still do it, unless they bring in a much bigger heel from Raw, because at the moment, Punk is the only major heel that could main event at WrestleMania on the SmackDown! side because Swagger and Mcintyre are jokes and Del Rio isn't gonna main event WM less than a year into his career no matter how fast he rises up, so I could see that, but I can't see Punk vs Kofi at WM for the title unless SmackDown! gets even more depleted of star power than it is now.
True, that's one way you could look at it. I could actually see Sheamus jumping to Smackdown! after his feud with Trips is over.
But another way you can look at it is that WWE are determined to create stars. They've been pushing young/midcard guys to the ME scene very quickly and suddenly lately. It's also clear that WWE are high on Kingston, evidenced by his feud with Orton. It's very possible that this match could happen, for a number of reasons.
Rey rarely main events Mania, he's usually used in grudge matches; which he most likely will be in this Mania. And there's also been rumours that he's going to be retired by Del Rio (Yes, I know we should take them with a grain of salt). But chances are that Rey will be in one of his usual grudge matches come this Mania. WWE are also determined to build new stars, and they are pretty high on Kofi. One of the reasons why Kingston lost the IC title to Ziggler, was to have him move up, as well as putting over Ziggler in the process. Now that Kofi has dropped the title, he can move higher up in the card into more meaningful feuds. The stories also there behind Punk/Kingston, and I'm sure creative could pull out a good storyline between the two.
If this is Taker's last Mania, then chances are he's facing Cena. If it's not Taker's last Mania then I could see him facing Sheamus in the usual ''Taker vs. ''Monster'' at Mania for the streak''. (Kane, Sid, Mark Henry, Giant Gonzales, A-Train/Big Show). Yes, this could be a title match, but it doesn't need the title for it to be a good feud. I say Sheamus because I think he's the most likely of the RAW stars to jump ship. Some guys might say Edge and Jericho are more likely to jump, but I see them reforming Rated Y2J and for that tag team to last until Mania where they put over a young tag team in a big fashion. Sheamus would also be a good option for Rey at Mania.
Wishfully thinking, I'd want the Smackdown! main event to be Jericho vs. Taker for the title, but I really don't see that happening; due to the likelihood of Rated Y2J reforming.
This is how I could see Punk/Kingston at Mania for the title as a possibility. I just can't see who Taker or Rey would face for the title at Mania. UNLESS, Miz cashes in over on Smackdown! which I think is highly unlikely.
