It's now only more or less two weeks before Mania, rank the matches you're most looking forward to based on the current card. Ok, i'll start with mine.
1. Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio - I honestly think this could be a very good match, i was concerned about the build-up at first because this feud didn't sound appealing on paper but Christian's involvement really helps on igniting fire that this feud needs. Now i can say that i'm loving the feud. I'm not complaining about the little focus on Edge because it's obvious that Del Rio and Christian are the ones who are having personal feud since Del Rio injured Christian's arm, WWE just tries to capitalize on it to give some life to ADR/Edge feud, and it's a pretty entertaining feud so far, we got E & C reunion, awesome steel cage match, Brodus Clay debuting in the midst of this feud, even the contract signing segment was actually very entertaining, Del Rio is a just great heel in my eyes, one of the best "new" talents WWE has to offer, and as much as i'm loving Edge's WHC reign i think Del Rio should win this one. I believe Christian is gonna somewhat get involved in this match, my safe bet is that he'll be on Edge's corner to try to neutralize any outside interferences particularly interferences by Brodus Clay. Will Christian turn heel? I'm not sure about that actually, because i think ADR/Edge feud will last until Extreme Rules at least, if Christian turns heel then i believe it's not gonna be at Mania because his heel turn would take away all the focus and all the heat from Del Rio, i doubt WWE would risk doing that, that's why i don't see Christian's heel turn happening during this match.
2. John Cena vs. The Miz - I think i can safely say that... Raw. Is. Miz. He's stolen the show these past few weeks especially when he trolled the audience by impersonating The Rock, that was pretty funny. He's starting to look like a real star, Miz is starting to prove that he's just a natural born sports entertainer. Cena was also pretty awesome last monday, he showed great intensity and great energy and that STF looked pretty sick, i've always preferred this edgy side of Cena. Really looking forward to this match, i don't expect it to be 5 star match but this should be pretty good match, i know that Miz needs the win more and it'd be better if he wins but on the other hand i actually also don't mind Cena winning, i personally have always enjoyed Cena as WWE Champion, and i miss seeing him with the belt.
3. CM Punk vs. Randy Orton - They're two of my favorite superstars and i think the build-up so far has been alright, i actually like the family loving side of Orton that was showed last monday, it's refreshing and makes him more likable, oh and i got a kick out of the horrible acting from Orton's wife, that was unintentionally hilarious, Punk telling her to shut up was funny as well :lmao. Orton might not literally send Punk to rehab facility as he promised but he will win this one nonetheless. This could be MOTN if given enough time.
4. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus - I'm always looking forward to all Bryan matches and this one is no exception, both men are very good workers and this could be very solid match if given good amount of time. Sheamus will probably retain and still remains as the "champion of United States of America!", but i personally want to see Bryan winning this one, i'm so happy to see that he gets his first WM match in just one year after debuting, after all stellar matches he gives to the fans... he absolutely deserves it, hopefully he will regain his US title.

5. Triple H vs. Undertaker - I was never excited about this feud to begin with but i don't mind the build-up so far, the build-up could have been better but the build-up has been fine for what it was in my opinion, the promos are fine and i like the video packages that showed HBK hyping up the match. But anyway, i'm sure this will be a fantastic match, yes i'm dead serious, Taker always brings his 100% at WM despite his injuries and Triple H is... Triple H, i expect nothing short than a 5 star match from these two. Taker will win, it's kinda obvious, i think. On a side note, i know this probably has zero chance of happening but i'd mark so hard if Ted DiBiase interferes during the match and costs Triple H the victory, that could be a career defining moment for him.
6. Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio - This should be a pretty good match, Rey is a great worker and always brings the best out everyone in his matches, Cody is a pretty good wrestler as well, they have fought several times on Smackdown and nearly all of their matches together were good, their last match kinda sucked but that's understandable considering Cody was selling his kayfabe broken nose injury. Cody has really come to his own and shows a massive improvement particularly his promo skills, major props to him. I still don't understand why the WWE doctors allow a guy with a seemingly serious mental disorder traveling on the road and wrestling, lol, but yeah his UnDashing character is very interesting and has been the bright part of the show over these past weeks. I expect Cody to win and destroys Rey at Mania because he's got the advantage which is his mask, that could be a very effective tool to weaken Rey.
7. John Morrison, Trish Stratus & Snooki vs. Dolph Ziggler & Lay-Cool - I honestly don't really like this match-up at all, but yeah it serves its purpose as the special attraction type of match due to Snooki's involvement. I don't expect much from this match but hopefully Morrison will win this one, i want him to win a WM match for once.
8. Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole with Jack Swagger (Special guest referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin) - Lawler is soooo winning this. This will definitely be a terrible match, but nonetheless it's gonna be fun to see the crowd erupt when Stone Cold gives Cole a Stunner.
How about you?
