Every scenario for the main event has involved HHH being in it. So how would he be weasling his way into something he's always been in?
About the sheets, Meltzer tells the exact same story every year, starting in around August about how "the plan for Mania is for the belt to go to HHH". When was the last time that actually happened? Everyone was convinced he was beating Cena when they wrestled two years ago because it's all Meltzer was saying for months on end. Not only didn't he beat him, he never got the belt at all.
And about the "original" Mania plans, it wasn't a fact that Cena wouldn't be in a title match. When Meltzer first talked about it, he said HHH vs. Kennedy (when Kennedy was going to be Vince's son) would be for the title. But he said a week or two later on his audio show that he was just assuming, because Cena vs. Batista (the pre-injury plan) was a big enough match that he didn't think it needed a world title involved to draw.
But he said Cena/Batista could easily be the title match and HHH/Kennedy could be the big McMahon jerk-off with Vince dragging the whole family out again. He said they probably hadn't thought far enough ahead yet to know who they'd have the titles on by then, and at that early stage they just had ideas for matches they wanted.

How's that? Cena has been booked like Superman for 3 years straight. The last two endings of WrestleMania have been Cena defending his title and winning. He's not an up and comer trying to break though. HHH is not holding him down.
Regardless of who he wrestles, he can stand to lose a match. Cena defending the title AGAIN and winning AGAIN is not going to do anything for WWE's business, except annoy the legions of people who already think he's being shoved down their throats. And I like Cena. But further making him look unbeatable isn't going to suddenly start a big ratings upswing.
I can't see them changing the world title twice in about a month, though, from Orton to Cena and then Cena to whoever. So I would guess either Cena wins at Mania or he's not in the title match.
