This how you make sure plenty of guys get their Wrestlemania payday

Added to Wrestlemania will be a 12 Man tag match with teams seconded by Teddy Long and John Laurinaitis. The winning team will have their GM in control of Raw and Smackdown going forward.

As of last night, the plan was David Otunga & Christian & Mark Henry & Alberto Del Rio & Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger vs. Santino Marella & Kofi Kingston & Great Khali & Ezekiel Jackson & R-Truth & another name to be announced.

One source believed the last name could be the returning Rey Mysterio, but PWInsider.com could not confirm Mysterio is cleared to return to the ring. Evan Bourne could also be a possibility, as he'll be cleared from his Wellness suspension by then.

12 man tag match = 10 minute match.

Sounds awful, but it works. I can't believe how epic Lauriniatis' team is while Teddy's team ****ing sucks!

At least some people who have been going all year long will get a good WM payday. Kudos to the E for adding it.

Glad they are going with this rather than a Santino vs Otunga singles, which is what it looked liked they were going to do. Either Rey or Bourne would be great, this could be a really fun match, though 10 would be better than 12.

I'm actually somewhat excited for this match. It's a pretty fresh feud/storyline, imo.

Great Khali? I thought he retired?

For the love of god - let Johnny's team win. Teddy Long's act grew stale a good 3 years ago, if he ended up running both shows, that would be horrendous.

Ever since the Elimination Chamber where The Ace Team formed, it seemed unlikely that Teddy Long would be able to create a team as awesome, and according to the suggested teams, he hasn't. Pulling for Rey to be fit, because he could really elevate the face team. I've loved the storyline, and even though the match probably won't last very long, this will still be entertaining.

I'd rather Drew McIntyre was included into this match somehow seeing as though he's been heavily involved with Teddy Long for the past few months, but logically he'd go on Ace's team and there really isn't a spot available there unless one of Christian or Del Rio isn't fit to go by mania.
