If that happens, and Bryan wins, having Seth shit on his moment at the end of Mania and walking out champ, with now both Reigns and Bryan chasing, would be great.

Hell, have Heyman turn on Lesnar to side with Reigns, screwing Bryan out of the belt, only for Lesnar to snap, allowing Rollins to take advantage.

I'm still thinking they should go with Brock vs. Bryan at Fast Lane. Have Bryan pin Brock for the title at Fast Lane (what better way to make it feel like this new PPV means something?) and then on RAW, Bryan is cutting a promo in the ring about how wonderful it is to be champion again. Heyman appears on the titantron, and he is talking creepily to someone. It's revealed to be Brie Bella, and Heyman is telling her how his Beast is going to end her husband's career. Daniel Bryan runs to the back, but he is jumped on the stage by Brock Lesnar, who proceeds to toss Bryan off the stage. He kicks him around the ringside area, and maybe even gives him an F5 into the ring post. He tosses Bryan back into the ring and drills him with a final F5. Seth Rollins then hits the ring, and cashes in his Money in the Bank contract on Bryan. 1-2-3...Seth Rollins is your new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

This obviously sets up a Triple Threat, but you could also insert Randy Orton in there, as another champion who was never directly pinned and never submitted their title away -- and someone that has unfinished business with Seth Rollins. And Daniel Bryan. The only yard work that really needs to be done is giving Brock and Orton reasons to hate each other. They go back a long way; they're the youngest WWE Champion and youngest World Champion in company history...maybe Heyman can cut a promo on Orton about how this main event isn't about Seth Rollins for Randy Orton. It isn't about Daniel Bryan for Randy Orton. No, this main event is about Brock Lesnar for Randy Orton -- because he doesn't know if he can beat Brock Lesnar.

I dunno, something like that would be pretty cool to me as a fan. It could be an Elimination Match to make things more interesting. Would Bryan & Orton be able to work together long enough to stop potential teamwork from Lesnar & Rollins? If this is Brock's last match, do they have him eat the first fall? Does he make it right to the end, where he ends up tapping out to Bryan? If Brock eats the first fall, who is there right at the end with Bryan? My guess would be Seth Rollins, but Bryan vs. Orton with a face vs. face dynamic has its appeal too.

Roman Reigns gets cost his title shot by Dean Ambrose -- the man he thought he could trust. That would be a match with a personal issue bubbling underneath it strong enough to warrant a lot of time at WrestleMania. What is Ambrose's motivation? Maybe he's just annoyed that Reigns won the Royal Rumble and not him? Maybe he just wants to prove that he can beat Reigns, and he wants Reigns to be as mad at him as possible to give him his best shot? Maybe Ambrose strikes up a deal with Triple H, and he does this one hit and The Authority are off Ambrose's back for good?

Whatever it is, Ambrose ends up in the cross-hairs of Reigns at WrestleMania, furious that his "best friend" would come between him and immortality. Imagine Ambrose taking the Superman Punch, bouncing back into the ropes, hitting his see-saw clothesline, knocking Reigns back into the ropes, who then fires back with a Spear.

Reigns would win at WrestleMania, leaving Dean Ambrose to re-evaluate his decisions since Fast Lane. Does he concede that Roman Reigns is the better man at this point? Does he remain a heel? Does he become more of a heel? Does he re-affirm face status and work harder so that he can get better than Roman Reigns, and challenge him once Roman is "The Man?" Lots of storyline potential for Dean Ambrose coming out of this, and Reigns gets to go 3-0 at WrestleMania.

Ambrose would realign with Rollins (new champ) and help him at Mania. Ambrose would take a huge F5 on a table or something to "take him out". Rollins takes a F5 or two, and Lesnar eats a Knee +. Have a couple false finishes and/or finisher kickouts. After a few moments of all three guys being "out of it" Reigns's music hits, he comes down and takes out Lesnar (with the help of Paul Heyman) & Bryan and we have a reunited, heel Shield, with the true architect, Paul Heyman.

They may not need him as a mouthpiece, but it would be a damn good dynamic.

Haven't read the entire thread but I'm going to try to think of something the fans would respond to without involving Bryan (because I don't believe the dirt sheets are bullshitting when they say they don't want to put Bryan in the main event again, even if he'd be the popular choice).

The Authority gives Seth Rollins another shot at the title at Fast Lane. The face announcers bitch about how it's not fair he's being given another shot without having to use his MITB. Brock wins a great match. Authority run-in after, Brock not only survives it but absolutely fucking massacres Rollins afterwards to prevent him from cashing in anytime soon.

In the coming weeks it is revealed that the Authority is realizing they made a big mistake bringing Lesnar in now that he's far beyond their control. Reigns winds up selling out as the Authority's hand picked guy since Rollins proved himself to be too unreliable, so Reigns is a heel and Lesnar moves from tweener to official face.

At WrestleMania, Lesnar's career can be on the line (to protect WWE if he leaves right after, there are ways to bring him back if he re-signs) and much like WM 17 the main event is announced as no disqualification moments before it starts. Violent brawl, weapon shots, Authority run ins, just an overbooked shitshow that would provide great drama and help mask any shortcomings Reigns might have in the ring. After Lesnar kicks out of basically everything short of a nuclear bomb, Reigns FINALLY puts him down and cements his place as the chosen one. Crowd boos the shit out of it.

Rollins' music then hits as the crowd loses their shit. Cashes in, wins the belt, and turns face in the process. WrestleMania ends on a customary high note.

Sets up Reigns/Rollins to feud throughout the spring and both guys get massively over in the process. I do LOVE Rollins as a smarmy douchebag heel and it'd be a shame to lose that, and even more sad that his hard work in the past year will lead to him basically not even wrestling at Mania, but I think the fans would love this story.

I see Vito's idea playing out really well, but I can see the WWE being too stubborn to turn Reigns heel. I could see them just going all-in with this one, and just pushing Reigns like nothing is going on. Heyman works really hard to make Reigns look vulnerable and sympathetic. Heyman can suggest that this is Reigns' one shot to break through. If he loses this match, then he loses all that mystique, and no one will believe in him anymore. Brock does some heinous shit, like beat-down The Rock, and maybe spit in the general direction of The Rock's mother, causing Reigns to snap and want to murder Brock.

Not sure how good their match will be at Mania, but Reigns wins with a Spear, and poses as the WWE Champion to close WrestleMania, perhaps as the world looks on, booing. Reigns then moves on to a feud with Bray Wyatt, and although Reigns beats Wyatt at Extreme Rules, that is where Seth Rollins cashes in, and Reigns then has his former Shield buddy to chase for the title.

Seth Rollins will be an awesome babyface down the line. Right now he is so good as the slimeball heel, but his ability and determination will eventually lead to an epic face run for him.

Yeah, I think Seth was on the verge of breaking out as the biggest star after The Shield turned face. He had that "fast pace" "Daniel Bryan-esque" offense going for him combined with the penchant for jumping off high things...

I really saw the fans potentially rallying behind that.

Yeah, exactly. Plus, he's now proven he can play a three-dimensional character and can talk. This isn't going to be a guy like Jeff Hardy or Rob Van Dam (although equally as exciting in the ring, if not better as an overall general), where he is just sort of cool and flies around -- but he'll be able to explain his motivations. Why does he eventually sever his connection with The Authority? How does he feel about his past actions? What is his next goal? Rollins will be able to explain that all on the mic.
