With WM 26 looming, here are the matches announced and other possible matches. Here is also what I think will happen during and after WM26. Feel free to talk about your predictions.
Announced matches
Unified Tag Team championship match - R-truth and John Morrison VS The Miz and Big Show
I think that this match was sort of a surprise to me, I expected CM Punk and Luke Gallows to be the challengers, but I guess WWE is trying to promote, create and sustain a long term feud for John Morrison and The Miz, but I don't understand why R-truth is in this match. He isn't that great, not too popular and his in-ring stuff aren't great. I think that this match will end with John Morrison and R-truth winning, but if The Miz loses his US title, then Big Show and him may get a chance to re-take the belts in Backlash, the next PPV.
Triple H vs Sheamus - This match was probably made because Sheamus is doing great and Triple H is a legend. So they both deserve to be in Wrestlemania. but they weren't part of any storyline or championship matches, and since HHH is training Sheamus, they made a match between them. I don't think this rivalry will continue for long. Since both are championship contenders, so I think it will end within 2 PPVs. As for the result, I think HHH will win this one, but will definitely lose later on in the next PPV since they want to build Sheamus to become a great superstar.
Money in the bank Ladder match - This one is pretty much down very straight forward, it's a match where young stars like MVP, Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler get to shine and show the WWE Universe what they can do. However, the result is pretty clear, only Christian is good enough to be the next World Champ, so he will definitely win and maybe create a 3-way feud with Edge and Chris Jericho.
World Heavyweight Championship match - Chris Jericho (champ) VS Edge
Edge wins! Edge wins! That is what I predict everyone will hear on the day of WM26. Because Edge is being a FACE and Jericho is HEEL, at WM, FACE usually wins. Another reason is that Christian was my predicted Money in the Bank winner, so I guess when Edge retains later on, or Chris Jericho wins the champ, then Christian will appear and take the belt by using his briefcase which he should get at WM. That will create a great feud between Edge, Christian and maybe Chris. I think that the build up to this match has been great and it definitely has me watching more Smackdown than Raw.
WWE Championship match - Batista (champ) VS John Cena
Um, this one is pretty difficult for me to predict the winner, although Cena is the crowd favourite, I think Batista vs Christian would be a better match than Cena vs Christian [bear in mind I predict Christian will win Money in the bank match] Also, Batista was the WWE champ before he was legitimately injured. So I think Cena will win to help WWE get a better rating, but regardless of who's the winner, I think this feud will go on for a long time, around 3 PPVs. Therefore Cena will probably win, because if he wins, they will have another match since Batista can have a rematch, and then the belts changes hands a few times.....
Mr McMahon vs Bret Hart
Mmmm, this match will possibly be the biggest upset and disappointment for the fans, especially Bret's fans, since Bret has done many surgeries on his back and neck, he will not be able to suffer a hard landing, even on the mat. So therefore the match may be pretty boring, or there will be other guys involved. The biggest possibility is that Vince will change the rules and stuff so that it will be Bret Hart and John Cena vs Batista and Mr McMahon, making it more interesting. I think Bret will win, since MrMcmahon never wins at wrestlemania, and he would probably love to give Bret a proper retirement match.
Undertaker (champ) VS Shawn Michaels
The MAIN MAIN event of the night. This match began last year at Wrestlemania 25. Undertaker won and his streak at WM continued to 17-0. This year, Shawn wants a rematch and gets one. Will he win or lose? I think the thing about the focus of this match is not the first 5-15 minutes, it's after that period of time when they start doing finishers and hitting each other with them. Then after that, the tension builds and the audience will be captured and glued to the TV screen (or the actual match if you're live). In my opinion, it could go both ways, Undertaker is old and wants to retire, Shawn wants to take time off after WM or retire. So I don't know. What I DO know is that this will be a classic match and even I'm not clear about the result. My guess will be Taker. 18-0 FTW!
Possible matches include
-Divas match
-CM Punk with or without Straightedge society VS Rey Mysterio
-Possible Intercontinental and US champ matches
That's it from me, your turn!

Here is what I think:
Edge vs. Chris Jericho:
As much as I am a huge fan of Jericho, and love seeing him not only holding one of WWE's major titles but Main Eventing their biggest PPV of the year, I have a feeling Edge is walking away with the gold here. Why else would WWE have made a big deal about his return?
Batista vs. John Cena:
C'mon, it's Cena we are talking about here. I don't think I have ever seen the guy lose at 'Mania ("Mr. Superman" rarely loses ), and him re-claiming the WWE title at 'Mania will certainly boost merchandise sales.
Hart vs. McMahon:
Difficult one to call, however I think Hart will win this. The guy is too old to take any big bumps, and I reckon McMahon will allow Hart to exact vengeance for such a controversial moment in wrestling. Also, Hart not winning would be a big anti-climax.
HBK vs. Taker:
I would not be surprised if this ended in a double-DQ, but I can see Shawn taking the edge here (as much as I don't want Taker's streak to end). I think that this will be the last ever 'Mania for these two legends.
As for the rest of the card, I have no idea really

CM Punk and Rey I believe is pretty much a lock at this point, but not official. Now, I heard at one time that it might have been hair versus mask but I think it is too late in the game to build a big match stipulation like that up. Therefore, this will be a straight match and I think it has a potential to be one of the better matches of the night. Maybe they can use this match to build up a hair versus mask match down the line. Of course, there is a chance that the hair versus mask stipulation could happen, even if I think it would be a mistake to announce something like that this late in the game. If the stipulation does happen, then Rey wins, because it would be a really stupid idea to unmask Rey. Without that stipulation, Punk wins.
R-Truth and John Morrison against the Miz and the Big Show, yeah this match kind of threw me for a loop. I really think that Morrison should be in MVP's place in Money in the Bank and it was going to be against Mark Henry and MVP. I could have sworn they were setting that up for a while but I guess not. Morrison and the Miz have the history, but R-Truth and Morrison just strike me as a pairing of two guys without anything else to do. Show and Miz retain the titles for right now in this match.
Sheamus and Triple H...yeah I'm really not looking forward to this match. Sheamus has not set my world on fire really. He's shown promise at times, but really, too soon. I have a feeling that Sheamus is going to get punted back down the midcard by Triple H. This just strikes me as a way to get both men on the card, Triple H more so but Sheamus to a lesser extent.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match, well I'm really pulling for Shelton Benjamin in this one but I think it's going to be Christian in this one. I think Shelton is going to do something spectacular as he does every year. This match will be great and entertaining as it always is. Then again, there has yet to be a bad Money in the Bank Match at Wrestlemania.
Chris Jericho against Edge will hopefully be good as well. Edge gets the win naturally. I just hope that when he does win, he actually gets a longer run with the title than he has done in the past. There seems to be a trend where Edge wins the title and loses it pretty much the next month. Or gets injured. Hopefully neither of those happen.
The only time John Cena and Batista had a proper match, it was a great match. And it was a throw away match, at Summerslam, just thrown together like three weeks both the show. Considering this is a huge feature match at Wrestlemania, this will be good. Batista will give Cena quite the beating in this match but Cena will somehow get out with the victory. Yeah, same old, same old, for Mr. Cena, but the ride will be entertaining.
Bret Hart against Vince McMahon, yeah this won't be much. In fact, I think that Bret will reveal that his injury is a fake(providing he hasn't done so already after the contract has been signed next Monday) and waffle Mr. McMahon with the crutch before the bell and put him in the Sharpshooter for the submission, beating the Wrestlemania speed record set by King Kong Bundy and SD Jones at Wrestlemania 1. If Bret does reveal his injury is a fake during the contract signing, replace crutch shot with knockout punch and pretty much the same thing.
The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels...I think this match will be good and perhaps one of the best matches of Wrestlemania history. They have quite the performance to live up to, but if anyone can do it, it is HBK and Taker. This match will go on for over thirty minutes of course and be filled with even more nearfalls and close finishes. The Undertaker beats Shawn Michaels after he passes out in the Hell's Gate! I think that Shawn Michaels will have to be rendered unconscious this time because that is the only way he will lose. Both men will not be seen for some time but they will give you a performance to remember.
There might be some kind of Divas match added. Also, I'm thinking that there will be a dark match involving an eight man tag between the NXT rookies.

R-Truth sucks. I hate everything about the guy, but I reckon John Morrison could carry them. The Miz sucks too.
HHH vs Sheamus. Sheamus is a big, tough guy and HHH is coming to the end of his career. I reckon Sheamus could win it, and start a huge feud with HHH (3 or 4 PPV?)
I reckon for the Money In The Bank match it will be Christian, who will appear after the Edge vs Jericho match (which I predict Edge will win) and cash in his briefcase and beat a battered Edge, setting up a huge 3 or 4 PPV feud.
Brett Vs Vince - I hate to say this but I say Vince with another screwjob. For the reason that I reckon this feud has one more PPV in it. I predict a Brett vs Vince with no rules rematch.
Taker vs Shawn - of course Taker will win. Shawn doesn't have the longevity to take Taker's streak. The person who take's Taker's streak will probably be someone like Sheamus. New but hugely impressive and with a massive future.
