Kidd (Lead Fighter) Weevle (Ex-Shichibukai) Hawkins (Supernova Captain) Jozu ( Top WB Commander) vs Big Mom
Sidenote: IF Kaido has (Ace).... then Sabo will appear in this war... and it will be by the plot that Kuma teleported him out of Marijoa because he was in big trouble... Kuma chose Wano because it's an isolated country.. and thought WG cannot reach Sabo there...
Sabo vs Ace (Battle with play of words)

※No clue who's gonna fight Lilin maybe Weevil? but I reckon Oda once again either brings O-Lin back or has Lilin experience one of her ridiculous hunger pangs again
you just know some shit like that is gonna happen lolz. Also there was a scene in the new one piece game that had Lilin have one of her hunger pangs or sumin again and then she got saved by Katakuri through the Mirror world 
so I could defo see something like this happening ^^"

※I think Zoro & Sanji and Jinbe will be recieving some sort of indirect assistance in this fight just coz of how deadly the calamities' abilities are:
Sanji - It'd be beyond daft for chopper to not have prepared some sort of vaccine in advance for the SHs at least against Queen's mummy virus so Sanji would probably be taking in some sort of antibodies into this fight.
Zoro - I think we are gonna be seeing Zoro and Onimaru fight together at somepoint on Onigashima just like the later once did with Ushimaru. Onimaru is a magical fox that posses a mysterious ability to shape shift which falls in line with fox demons in japanese mythology so he could potentially also be able to use fox-fire, which might help to counter King's fire abilities to a degree.
Jinbe - I don't current Jinbe can take down a calamity on his own, particularly since he hasn't been granted any power-ups but Oda could always give Jinbe a significant spike in strength if he gives him access to a substantial amount of water.

※Not exactly sure if the numbers are gonna be stronger than the Tobi Roppo but no matter how you look at it, Queen shouted the beast pirates in an hierarchical manner so there's gotta be sumin to these guys. Moreover they're still being kept in mystery even now. I reckon we'd have some Numbers stronger/as strong as the Tobi Roppo and some weaker.
※Also can't think of any one else that can face the last number so might as well have Coby flex on it...lolz. Or maybe Momo in his adult dragon form takes on one of the Numbers?
※btw not implying Kaidou's son is a Number, but like the numbers it's hard to guess how strong he is so I put him in this section

Coby v Daifuku - If Killer doesn't fight him
※For the potential allies here, I have Sword/Marines, Germa 66 or the Scabbards. I'm not confident the Germa will come to the SHs aide except pudding saved them, in which case they will be indebted to Sanji again. Would love to see Reiju scrap with Ulti tho.
※P1 and Sanji might have a confrontation on Onigashima, but If Sanji beats P1 then I don't get why Oda brought him back into the story ^^" so I can only think Oda is reserving him for someone else. Either way, if Sanji doesn't beat P1, then the most natural alternative for me is that Drake beats him.
※We almost always have Smoker and Tashigi in this kinda arcs, and they are two of the most conflicted marines in the series. If we are gonna see a repeat of Rocks 1.0 with the marines allying with pirates then they have to be a part of it.
※Wano anime has Snack on Wano, so maybe? Plus he seems to have an awful fate with the WG so will be hilarious if he fights Killer lolz

※I've demoted compote from vet level to officer level due to lack of relevancy..lolz. She wasn't even included in the debate on who will be replacing Lilin if she died ^^". Plus, the trio of Smoothie, Perorin and Daifuku seem to be portrayed as the strongest fighters Lilin's got with her on wano atm.

Haha I think she's gonna be coming to Wano with Coby :p. Hancock is someone that would go through hell and back to save Luffy if he's in trouble. The last Coby heard of Luffy was that he was captured by Kaidou and Coby is currently on his way to capture Hancock, so chances are that she gets to know about it through Coby. In which case I think she heads to Wano to save Luffy ^^. I think it's pretty interesting that Oda had Drake pass on the information of Luffy still being captured to Coby even though he had already escaped Udon at the time.
How possible do you guys think Zoro vs Queen is?
It makes no sense for Zoro's first fight against a high tier to be king, imo. Just looking at how much it took Luffy to beat katakuri back in WCI, I think it would be a lot more rational for Zoro to fight a YC2. I don't think that rapid powerlevel jumping is a good idea nor do I think it is really necesary as imo there are other arcs where Zoro can surpass a YC1.
King's big strength is flying so it doesn't make sense for Zoro to fight him as Zoro can't fly. I think Eustass Kidd deserves a fight against King. He is portrayed as Luffy's rival and hence it doesn't make sense for him to not have a 1v1 against one of the top commanders. I love Zoro but I think it would be a complete disservice to Kidd if Zoro upstaged him. Due to flight via magnetism, Kidd can engage King in a sky battle.
Queen is a walking blob of muscle, he most likely specializes in high AP attacks and hence would be a perfect enemy for Zoro to show off his skills against.
Zoro vs Queen
Jinbe vs Jack
Sanji vs Who's Who
imo this makes a lot more sense than the highly popular Zoro vs King, Sanji vs Queen model. I already explained why Zoro vs King wouldn't work, but Sanji vs Queen makes less sense. Sanji is a quick and agile fighter, I just don't get why he would be matched up against a meathead like Queen. Lets also not forget how Sanji, even with the raid suit, struggled to make quick work of Page one and hence isn't that much stronger than him.

King is and Queen isnt a swordsman, it makes more rational sense for Zoro to fight King than Queen. It makes more sense if we're discussing YC2 for Zoro to fight smoothie than Queen, and from a rivalry and personality standpoint it makes sense for sanji to fight Queen, How Oda will be able to powerscale Sanji from that level from WCI is beyond me.
