If Angle/Holly does happen, lets hope that Holly doesn't stiff shot Kurt and injure him ... should he injure Angle, I say fire him as soon as he walks back through the curtain.

Divas Match - GuestRef-Sable? Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie
Billy Gunn vs. Rhyno
Is this all speculation? I haven't seen a hint of half these matches in last night's show. Where does Billy Gunn & Rhyno come from? If anyone right now, Rhyno would be involved with Cena (who's likely to face Big Show now or at WM 20). Same with Torrie and Dawn Marie. I don't see why that would go down. Or Holly and Morgan, who isn't guaranteed to be back by No Way Out (which is in 2 weeks from this Sunday).
And despite what 1wrestling says, I don't see Kidman/London happening so soon. They'd have to break up within the next 2 shows, and they haven't been together or even on Thursday night TV long enough for anyone to care yet.
------------------
Other than that, the definites appear to be:
WWE TITLE -Brock vs Eddy
WWE US TITLE -Cena vs Show (unless they hold it over until WM 20)
WWE CW TITLE -Rey vs Chavo
-Hardcore vs Angle (who will be heel by then? anyone else think it'll be Holly, despite WWE likely wanting us to start booing Angle?)
-A-Train vs The Cat
-Jamie Knoble vs whoever Nidia starts managing (Billy Gunn, perhaps? - a trip down memory lane, since Knoble and Gunn have unfinished business)
My guesses:
WWE TAG TEAM TITLES -Bashams vs London & Kidman (after last night's match, I'd love to see more)
or
WWE TAG TEAM TITLES -Bashams vs Rikishi/Scotty vs. TWGTT

hahaha...this I would like to see.
Remember, hide your wrestlers weaknesses while playing to their strengths... make this a :30 match with Rhyno hitting a gore and its done after some pathetically funny dancing by The Cat.
WON was reporting Lesnar vs. Guerrero and Cena vs. Show a couple weeks ago, but I haven't even heard speculation on anything beyond that. They'd be stupid to put Rey vs. Chavo on there given the size of the Latino market in San Francisco...the crowd will be split. I'd go with...
Brock vs. Guerrero
Cena vs. Big Show
Angle vs. Chavo (maybe start turning the crowd against Kurt)
Rey vs. Nunzio
Bashams vs. WGTT vs. Rikishi/Scotty vs. Kidman/London (ideally, they'd do a couple of qualifying matches next week involving Akio & Sakoda, the FBI, and the APA - if Faarooq is still alive, that is - because Smackdown really needs to establish that they have an actual tag team division)
Rhyno vs. The Cat (although they risk turning Rhyno face again with this)
Sean O'Haire vs. aaah fuck, who am I kidding, that won't happen...
Hardcore Holly vs. Matt Morgan could happen as well
I'd also do another regular tag team match involving two of the teams not in the title match, although no matchup of those three I left out sounds all that appealing.
Brock vs. Eddie - WWE Title Rey vs. Chavo - Cruiserweight Title Cena vs. Show - U.S. Title Angle vs. Holly Bashams vs. Haas/Benjamin (give WGTT the belts, go into Wrestlemania with some kind of 4-way, and have them win... big time momentum right there) Rikishi vs. Rhyno (two guys who have been getting decent pushes as of late, just a hunch that will probably be wrong:() Tajiri vs. Jamie Noble vs. Billy Kidman vs. Paul London (I'm thinking they'll give something to build up for the cruiserweight battle royal thing they're presumably having at Wrestlemania)
7 matches seems like a good enough number for this PPV... I expect Brock/Eddie to go long, as well as Rey/Chavo. Angle could carry Holly to a pretty decent match, Cena/Show will probably be more entertainment value than anything, and other than that it's just my random guesswork. Whatever they do with the cruiserweights will hopefully be more than just a spotfest, because that's a division that could provide some good depth to the midcard of Smackdown if utilized properly.
You wanted the best, you got... Out of Context Quote of the Week.
"Orton's facials were perfect, I must say." (Ringmistress)-Jamie Knoble vs whoever Nidia starts managing (Billy Gunn, perhaps? - a trip down memory lane, since Knoble and Gunn have unfinished business)
I, uh, thought they did finish it. Noble beat Gunn and won the chance to pump Torrie full of manfat (tm whoever coined it). Then when he goes to do the deed, Nidia shows up... eventually all FOUR of them (Nidia/Noble/Torrie/Gunn) end up in bed together.

Think of what they need to set-up for Mania and have started setting up and you can guess most of the card.
WWE Championship Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero -already confirmed
Cruiserweight Championship Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero -backstage scrap after Eddie was attacked on SD!
Kurt Angle vs. Hardcore Holly -Angle eliminates a pissed off Holly from Battle Royal.
United States Championship The Big Show (c) vs. John Cena -long overdue with Cena getting non-title pins over Show.
Billy Kidman vs. Paul London -Maybe too soon but we've already heard the rumours.
WWE Tag Team Championships The Basham Brothers (c) vs. Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty -Meant to happen ages ago but kept been delayed
Divas Match w/ Sable as referee Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie?? -Torrie and Sable need to team up for the Mania match so why not have Sable count Torrie's win and congratulate her.
Billy Gunn vs. Rhyno -Only two guys left who deserve a card spot except Noble and Ultimo who should get the last match on HeAt.
The New Card Seems to be:
CONFIRMED
WWE Championship Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Eddie Guerrero
No.1 Contendership Match for Wrestlemania XX Kurt Angle vs. The Big Show vs. John Cena
Intergender Match-up Jamie Noble vs. Nidia
Cruiserweight Championship Rey Mysterio (c) vs. Chavo Guerrero
RUMOURED
WWE Tag Team Championship Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty (c) vs. Worlds Greatest Tag Team
The Cat vs. Tajiri
(more to be announced)

Given the penchant to dust off Legend characters, I don't think a Brother Love return is impossible. Without explicit denomination references, he and Vince can still play the enlightened-soul angle.
