It'll probably be Cena/Ziggler/Sheamus/The Usos versus Rollins/Orton/Kane/Noble/Mercury.
I doubt HHH is stepping into the ring for this match and as much as some might doubt it happening, I don't find it too improbable that Noble and Mercury could be ordered by The Authority to put on the wrestling boots one last time to fill in the other two spots on the team. And I fail to see what's so "shitty" about the team of Cena, Ziggler, Sheamus, and The Usos. Ziggler and Sheamus are the two singles champions in the company right now, putting them on your team highlights them as champions and makes it look like the title holders are actually important. In kayfabe, holding any championship is seen as prestigious, so it makes perfect sense as to why Cena would trust those two as his partners. Plus, Sheamus has history with HHH as well as Jamie Noble (he ended his career before, after all), and if they want to mix a bit of reality with kayfabe, Hunter can point out that Sheamus used to be his chosen pick as the future of WWE but he failed him and now he's found a much more promising prospect in Seth Rollins.
I doubt Orton will be a part of Team Cena. The Authority is already short by at least two men, which means either resorting to having Mercury and Noble wrestle or aligning with two non-Authority members to fill out the other spots. Orton jumping over to the other side would only shortchange The Authority by yet another man. They're probably saving Orton's official face turn for Survivor Series itself. They'll probably have tension with one another for most of the build to SS and then The Authority will falsely believe that they're on the same page only for Orton to drop Rollins at the end of the match and make the official turn.
