That's as far as I got. The Show/Khali/Goldust/Shaq team doesn't sit great with me, probably cos Khali is involved. Perhaps Drew McIntyre could step up to defend Teddy as a way to get in his good graces/keep his job? Then we need another guy.
I said it in another thread, but I've got the feeling that the teams for the Team Ace vs. Team Teddy match could look like:

Team Road Warriors
Alberto Del Rio
Christian
David Otunga
Drew McIntyre
Mark Henry

Team Doom
The Great Khali
Justin Gabriel
Mason Ryan
Rey Mysterio
Santino Marella

Drew McIntyre seems to be having issues with Teddy Long, and it'd be easy to slip him into a role where he supports Long losing power. So that completes Laurinaitis' team.

Teddy obviously has Santino Marella in him, since he's the assistant on SmackDown!, will get a spot on WrestleMania, and has been super-over lately.

The Great Khali will be making a WrestleMania pay-day, and he's best suited to be in a match that hides his weaknesses -- like a massive tag match. If Rey Mysterio is healthy, then he'd make a fine addition to Team Teddy.

I'm sure Rey would like to make Mania, and being in a tag team match means he doesn't have to do too much.

The last spots are the trickiest. Ezekiel Jackson has been associated with Teddy lately, but I get the feeling it is mainly to put David Otunga over as a worthy addition to Team Ace in time for Mania. Apparently the WWE are back hard on Mason Ryan's dick, so I could see him being in the Ezekiel Jackson role of the power dude that is too green to do much, but gets the spot anyway. I'd much rather see it go to Ted DiBiase, Alex Riley or someone like that. Hell, I'd prefer Booker T to be backing up Teddy.

Justin Gabriel is another mid-carder on SmackDown! that they seem to like to use. He made the Elimination Chamber PPV over guys like Ted DiBiase, Alex Riley, Ezekiel Jackson, Mason Ryan and other guys I've mentioned. Gabriel would add an interesting dynamic to the match, as well.
