ECW isn't included because that brand is, for the most part, an afterthought. For example, in this year's Royal Rumble, ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero was included in the match. Why? I don't know, I guess if he won he would have challenged himself in the Wrestlemania main event.
Also, ECW doesn't have a big star to put in there to represent them. CM Punk (probably the obvious choice) is in the MITB ladder match as well as Shelton Benjamin. Miz and Morrison are the WWE Tag Champs so they won't pull the team apart to get squashed by either Batista or Umaga. Big Daddy V could be a good choice as well but he's on Smackdown so much that people may not look at him and instantly think "ECW", I know I don't. Elijah Burke, Tommy Dreamer, Colin Delaney, Kofi Kingston and Stevie Richards would all be obvious squashes.
Eventhough we all know Raw is the superior brand (we would never see a 3 hour Wrestlemania Rewind Night on Smackdown), I'm gonna go with Bat...nope, I'm gonna go with "U-manga" since I think he needs the win more to make this a credible feud after Wrestlemania, which is where I see this going.
