It kind of tough to say. There have been some surprises in the past (for better or worse). It seems like this year could go many different ways. That could be from too much speculation from Wrestling sites. Those sites throw out articles every time Metzler speaks. This could also be WWE finally figuring out how to manipulate the information.
Unpredictability can be a very good thing, if it leads to surprises that people want to see. However, if changes are made just for the sake of change, than it comes off forced. I personally like some predictability. As long as it comes from months of proper build up. A match like Goldberg vs Brock is very predictable, but it works because it has been built for a while. Cena vs AJ Styles at Mania works for the same reason. That is why I fear WWE is going to end that feud at Elimination Chamber. It may make their matches at Mania unpredictable, but it also takes away from what happened for the past year.
Predictable Matches:
Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg - Makes sense with the build
Big Show vs Shaq - Random celebrity match. Unnecessary, but obvious.
HHH vs Seth - Very predictable, but the build has been horrible.
New Day vs Cesaro/Sheamus vs the Club - Not obvious to everyone, but pretty obvious to me.
Orton vs Wyatt - This has had a good build. A good unpredictable move would be to make it a triple threat with Harper.
Unpredictable (possible) Matches:
John Cena vs AJ Styles (C) - WWE finally has a match at Mania that makes sense for Cena to win.
John Cena vs Taker - Icon vs Icon. It doesn't even need the long build Rock/Cena had.
Taker vs Roman Reigns - Might as well have Reigns accomplish everything.
AJ Styles vs Shane - I really hope this doesn't happen. What a waste of Styles talent.
Samoa Joe - Just Samoa Joe getting a match against a high mid-card/main eventer would be unpredictable and awesome.
American Alpha - I honestly have no idea who they will face. Probably the Usos.
Shinsuke Nakamura - See Samoa Joe.
