Let's rattle off the superstars appearing on the WM25 graphic available at scifi.com/ecw, starting at the top and going clockwise:
Undertaker -> will face Michaels
Edge -> will face Big Show
John Cena
MVP
JBL
Big Show -> will face Edge
Randy Orton -> will face HHH
Rey Mysterio
Steve Austin -> presumably something "special" so we'll count him covered
Kane -> in MitB
Shawn Michaels -> will face 'taker
Mark Henry -> in MitB
Chris Jericho
CM Punk -> in MitB
R-Truth
Jeff Hardy
Triple H -> will face Orton
Let's assume Jericho is covered even though we don't have a match for him yet (and some of you need to stop speculating because it's starting to look like the dreaded fantasy booking).
We have six names remaining.
Let's also assume Cena ends up in the Edge/Show picture just for grins.
Hey, five names left! Coincidence? OR the announced-some-time-in-the-next-month remaining Money in the Bank participants?
Coincidence, probably. But still...*kinda* interesting!
(Sixteen of these same folks are on the WM Wallpaper (wwe.com), with Austin out and Cena in his bottom centre spot)

Total wild guess: the final five are Umaga, Kozlov, Kingston, Rey and Kennedy.

|  #4 Posted on 4.3.09 0244.40 | Instant Rating: 9.00 | I think it's safe to write Jeff out of MITB-the Hardy Vs Hardy match is surely a foregone conclusion.
Kennedy's more likely to return in the draft, I think. Bourne would seem like a no-brainer, but he might not be a big enough name given how crowded the potentials list is.

I won't say anything else about it, but the fact that Mark Henry and not Santino is in this thing makes me think that MITB has offically jumped the shark. | oldschoolhero

I think it would be a nice change-of-pace to have a few heavyweights in the ladder match. Most others have been mid-sized guys with maybe Kane being the only larger heavyweight to be in the match.
If he and another big guy like Henry were in the match, it would make for good drama to have the two ascend the ladder at the same time. Of course I'd hate to be the guy standing in the ring when he or Umaga came tumbling down. | JustinShapiro

Granted, Santino could've been scared of climbing and run away and stuff and I'm sure that would've been entertaining too. But they book these matches so intricately that guys are only put in position to do cool things. |
