Opener- standard match (doesn't have to be an opener on the actual wrestlemania you're choosing from, but one you would think would make a hot opener) Bret vs Owen WM10 (yes it was actually an opener but pure coincidence. Great match with the perfect result to set up the rest of the show where- spoiler- Bret Wins the IC title)
Gimmick Match (battle royal/ladder match/ MITB/ Hardcore etc...) Stone Cold vs Bret Hart Submission Match WM13 (No rest for the Weary as Bret Hart then has to blade the shit out of Stone Cold and peform the dreaded but incredibly effective doubleturn)
Tag Team Match Hogan and MR T Vs Orndoff and Piper WM1 (Upset that they're not in the main even they still put on a show with all the hoopla that came along with it and felt like a real main event match in the beginning of the show)
Intercontinental/US Title Title Match (midcard title match) Savage vs Steamboat WM4 (time for a scripted clinic folks, and fuck it went well)
Woman's title Match Becky vs Charlotte vs Sasha WM32 (fight me if you think there's a better one ((Miky James vs Trish Stratus is the only other one I'll accept))
Tag Team Title Match Hardys vs Dudlez vs Edge and Christian WM17 (The danger goes up in the show with this match as all the men put their bodies on the line)
Intercontinental/US Title Match (can be same title as earlier, just consider it a second midcard title match) Bret vs Roddy Piper WM8 (Gorilla Monsoon: We won't see any technical wrestling here- we then go on to see one of the greatest technical Intercontinental title matches and story telling in history)
World Title/Universal Title/WWE Title Match Shawn Michaels vs John Cena WM 23 (Shawn really pulled out a classic in this one. Cena proved he could go and then they'll top it the next night on raw!)
Standard Match Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker WM 25 (Shawn is exhasuted after dragging Cena through a match and then has to drag the phenon through a match after he nearly breaks his neck with an unnecessary suicina)
World Title/Universal Title/WWE Title Match- TRUE MAIN EVENT Hogan vs Warrior WM6 (the match that gets worse each time you see it, pretend it's your first time, like Buff does each time he has sex)

Can the gimmick match be a title match?

If the gimmick match is a title match we'll just say it was nontitle for the sake of this exercise, or whatever. MORE TITLE MATCHES!
Nontitle tag team match is the hardest one to choose, maybe choose a tag title match and we'll call it non title for arguments sake as well.
I really don't care, cliff. Do whatever your heart feels is right. this is important. this is fake. this is wrestlemania.

Oh, this could be fun! I thought you meant to come up with one for next year, but a wrestlemania classic? I'm on board for that. I'll even go so far as to not pick any of the matches you chose, and try not to have any cloning going on, just to make it as varied as possibleh. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! WRESTLEMANIA TEO
(AKA: The worst WWE decision since the XFL)
Match #1: Money in the bank Ladder Match (Wrestlmania XXIV) CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho vs. John Morrison vs. MVP vs. Carlito vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Mr. Kennedy
Two rules I followed for this particular opening bout. You have to open Mania with a big babyface victory, get the fans in the mood with a big pop and set the tone for the whole show, and you need to have an exciting match. This fulfills both categories. CM Punk (at this point a babyface) finally climbing that ladder and being recognized as a future star would cap off what goes without saying is an excellent ladder match.
Match #2: Fifteen Thousand Dollar Body Slam Challenge (Wrestlemania 1) Big John Studd vs. Andre the Giant
Bit of creative license here, but we cut back to Bobby Heenan being asked about the money in the bank match, and the brain comments that the only money anyone cares about is the Fifteen Thousand Dollars that he has put up that nobody can slam Big John Studd. You know how the rest of this match goes. The audience needs a bit of a cooldown after the money in the bank match, but this is the chance to get a big pop for Andre, not to mention being one of the better Mania segments overall.
Match #3: WWE Cruiserweight Championship match (Wrestlemania 33) Neville vs. Austin Aries
After the audience has had a chance to recover with the palate cleansing feel-good match, it's time to now bring on our first title match. It goes without saying this should never have been a pre-show match, and is pretty much inarguably the best Cruiserweight title match that has ever been featured on a Wrestlemania. Neville would be the first heel win of the night, but he has a strong enough following that the audience wouldn't be put in an awful mood.
Match #4: Special Tag Team Match (Wrestlemania 20) Evolution (Orton/Flair/Batista) vs. The Rock and Sock Connection
Raise your hand if you forgot about this match. This is one of those strange matches that becomes so much more interesting when you know where everyone's career will end up going. With this in mind, I actually feel like this could be a much more hyped match today than it was when it actually happened. In addition, you have a great story with Mick trying everything in his power to finally get that Orton monkey off his back and falling just short, even with the Rock's help. The heels go over, but the Rock stays strong, and the crowd is now probably in a bad mood seeing the faces lose such a high profile match.
Match #5: Hair vs. Hair Challenge (Wrestlemania 23) ECW Champion Bobby Lashley (w/President Trump) vs. Intercontinental Champion Umaga (w/Vince McMahon)
Hear me out...Wrestlemania is as much about the spectacle as it is about the technical ability, and there's not a person among you who can argue that this match was not spectacular. Especially since if this means Trump might be president during this match. You can't deny that this will be THE match on all the marquees, all the posters, and what a moment seeing McMahon get his head shaved in the middle of the ring.
Match #6: United States Championship The Big Show (c) vs. John Cena
Now we're getting up towards the main events. It could be argued that this should come before the previous match, but seeing as this one is actually for a championship, I want to put it closer to the top of the card. Classic david and goliath storytelling here, with none other than the Doctor of Thuganomics getting his first singles championship in the WWE after F-U'ing the big man. Great moment overall, and a spectacular way to build into our next big title match...
Match #7: WWE Women's Championship Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks
I want to put this one higher, I really do, but honestly I feel like this is the best spot for it. This is Charlotte's coronation, a huge moment for Women's Wrestling, but if you put it anywhere after my next 3 matches, you could argue that it will be overshadowed. With this in mind, this is a wonderful example of 3 of the four horsemen going out and putting on a show, shattering all previous conceptions of what Women's match at Wrestlemania could be. With the possible exception of next year's show, this is undoubtedly the best Women's match at Mania. Seriously, the other choices are Diva Search winners or battle royals, this didn't have a high bar to leap over, yet it did so with aplomb.
Match #8: WWF Championship Match (Wrestlemania 5) Randy Savage (C) vs. Hulk Hogan (THE MEGA POWERS EXPLODE)
You want to talk about underrated. You want to talk about overlooked? This is the textbook definition of it. You take any of Hogan's matches from any Wrestlemania, star that he was, and you never really felt like he was in any danger of losing once the match started. Even the Andre match felt like a typical setup for him to Superman out of it, but this? This had it all. It had emotion, it had character, it had spectacular selling, it had Randy Savage at his peak dragging Hogan to arguably the best match he's ever had at a wrestlemania, and you have the WWF Championship being put on a pedestal, made to look like a prize that is worth risking everything, losing everything. When you really look at WWF Championship matches at Mania, this one should be on the upper tier in anyone's books.
Buuuut, let's get back to the wrestling we're used to.
Match #9: Brand v. Brand Special Exhibition Match (Wrestlemania 22) Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle
I almost don't have to type anything here. This one is not only one of the most impressive, most technically sound, most awe-inspiring matches that has ever been on a wrestlemania, but it is the definition of a show-stealer. If this had been for a title, there's no question this would be the main event. With a bullet. Kurt going over with the ankle lock is a perfect ending, too, establishing him as not only one of the best wrestlers in the company, but one of the most dominant stars in it as well. High impact, high energy, but not to the point where it would be completely impossible to follow, if you had the perfect main event...
Match #10: MAIN EVENT- World Heavyweight Championship Match (Wrestlemania 24) Edge (C) vs. The Undertaker
I mean...what more do you need to say? Two stars at the height of their powers. Edge has revolutionized and made the WHC as prestigious as any other belt in the company, and Undertaker is hitting that point of his career where it was feasible that anyone could beat him at any point, and these two went out and put on one of the best matches of either man's career. It is the definition of spectacular, and Undertaker walking out with the WHC over his shoulder remains an iconic image.

Great question. These are my original thoughts.
Opener- standard match (doesn't have to be an opener on the actual wrestlemania you're choosing from, but one you would think would make a hot opener)
Bret vs Owen WM10 (yes it was actually an opener but pure coincidence. Great match with the perfect result to set up the rest of the show where- no spoiler here.)
Gimmick Match (battle royal/ladder match/ MITB/ Hardcore etc...)
Stone Cold vs Bret Hart Submission Match WM13 (No rest for the Weary as Bret Hart then has to blade the shit out of Stone Cold and peform the irresistibly effective, but dreaded doubleturn)
Tag Team Match
Hogan and MR T Vs Orndoff and Piper WM1 (I'm not upset that they're not in the main even they still put on a show with all the hoopla that came along with it and felt like a real main event match in the beginning of the show)
Intercontinental/US Title Title Match (midcard title match)
Savage vs Steamboat WM4 (It appears that it is time for a scripted clinic boys and girls, and gosh it went very well)
Woman's title Match
Becky vs Charlotte vs Sasha WM32 (blow me if you think there's a better one (( I won't even accept Micky James vs Trish Stratus))
Tag Team Title Match
Hardeys vs Dudleyz vs Edge and Christian WM17 (The danger really goes up exponentially in the show with this match as all the men put their bodies on the line)
Intercontinental/US Title Match (can be same title as earlier, just consider it a second midcard title match)
Bret vs Roddy Piper WM8 (Gorilla Monsoon: We won't see any technical wrestling here- we then go on to see one of the greatest technical Intercontinental title matches and story telling in history, true irony.)
World Title/Universal Title/WWE Title Match
Shawn Michaels vs John Cena WM 23 (Shawn really pulled out a classic in this one. Cena proved he could go and then they'll top it the next night on raw!)
Standard Match
Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker WM 25 (Shawn is exhasuted after dragging Cena through a match and then has to drag the phenon through a match after he nearly breaks his neck with an unnecessary move)
World Title/Universal Title/WWE Title Match- TRUE MAIN EVENT
Hogan vs Warrior WM6 (the match that gets worse each time you see it, pretend it's your first time, like Luke does each time he has sex)

Opener - Tito Santana Vs The Executioner The first ever match in the first ever Wrestlemania. All I know about this match is Santana won. Tito is a legend in the business, and deserved a match. I believe this is the only one he won. Gimmick Match - Money in the Bank Chris Jericho Vs Christian Vs Chris Benoit Vs Edge Vs Shelton Benjamin Vs Kane The first Money in the Bank match, and the best Money in the Bank match. Jericho was a god for thinking up this idea and Money in the Bank has usually produced great matches and are really fun to play when you have a heap of people over and you've got the new WWE game. Tag Team Match Paige/AJ Lee Vs Bella Twins First of 2 women's matches on this card, when I had to name any non-title tag team match, this was one of two matches that came to mind, apart from Mr T/Hogan Vs Piper/Orndorff Intercontinental/US Title Title Match (midcard title match) Rey Mysterio Vs JBL Can't have a Wrestlemania without a squash. And everybody loves Rey too. Woman's title Match Charlotte Vs Sasha Banks Vs Becky Lynch Great match. Tossing up between this match and Trish/Lita/Jazz, but this one was a little bit better. Tag Team Title Match Edge/Christian Vs Dudley Boyz Vs Hardy Boyz As the famous George Clooney once said, what else? Intercontinental/US Title Match (can be same title as earlier, just consider it a second midcard title match) Rick Rude vs Ultimate Warrior Two legends of the business World Title/Universal Title/WWE Title Match Hulk Hogan Vs Randy Savage Collision of the Mega Powers. Boom. Standard Match - Shawn Michaels Vs Undertaker What a match. Shawn and Taker really put on a show, and it was truly a Wrestlemania match. You would be insane if you would beg to differ. World Title/Universal Title/WWE Title Match- TRUE MAIN EVENT
The Rock Vs Stone Cold with special ref Mankind A great match that defined that defined the Attitude Era and a great way to wrap up Wrestlemania
