John Cena, Ryback & Sheamus vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns)
This match isn't a six man Elimination Chamber tag match, so I'm hoping they give it street fight rules or something to differentiate it from a regular match. There's still time.

I think fans want to see a lot of physical action with these guys rather than watching them stand on the apron waiting for a tag. It looks like it will be regular tag match, though, so that's what I'll base my prediction on.

I can see a case made for either side to win this match because they've been built up very well. On the babyface side you have three of the top "good guys" in the company. Cena won the Royal Rumble and is likely going to win the WWE Title at the main event of WrestleMania, so should you book him to lose a tag match? Of course you can do that without him getting pinned since it's a tag match.
I doubt most remember, but Cena did lose at both Survivor Series and TLC. Ryback has pay-per-view losses at both of those events plus Hell in a Cell. Isn't he due a pay-per-view win? They could save it for WrestleMania. As for Sheamus, he also lost two of his last three singles pay-per-view matches (Survivor Series was a DQ win) all to Big Show.
Why do I bring up the losses? Because even though they lose they are still three of the strongest characters in WWE.

I don't want The Shield to lose. They've only had one official match on the main roster and that was a TLC match win in December. It was an outstanding match too. They impressed a lot of people. I'm surprised they haven't had more matches, but that's part of their appeal. They show up when they want, how they want and they don't let anybody dictate anything to them.
I think a guy like Rollins can shine in a match like this because he's the most athletic performer in the trio, so if they're going to get their ass kicked he'll do a good job of making the others look good. I like Ambrose a lot on the microphone and I know he's very skilled in the ring. I just want to see more. I've seen less of Reigns than the other two over the years, but he impressed me at TLC so I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.
If the babyface team loses it won't be clean. There could be a scenario where a fourth member of The Shield shows up (Kassius Ohno would be perfect) to cost the three good guys the match. Or perhaps there will be a disqualification ending. That would be a bit of a downer. It's also a possibility because if they wanted a definitive ending they would have put a stipulation on it.
In the end I think Cena's team will win. I realize his team could lose without him getting pinned, but if he's going to win the WWE Title at WrestleMania like I expect then it makes sense to see him on the winning side in this match. I don't think it will hurt The Shield too much. They could always win the tag titles on Raw or in a WrestleMania match as a way to keep them strong.

The story heading into the match is good with both sides coming in with momentum, so I'd expect an entertaining 15 minute tag match with John Cena ultimately getting the victory for his team.
