Said this in the 100,001 replies thread but it seems more fitting here...
Everyone who complains that the ending of WrestleMania 9 was so bad and then hopes Seth Rollins cashes in MITB to win the title at the end of WrestleMania 31 can fuck right off. Just a thought. |

As the MitB holder, it's built into the storyline that Rollins can cash in anytime, anywhere. Rollins is an active performer who has been a rising star for over two years now. Rollins and Lesnar have a history, and during that history Rollins has used the "there's always a plan B" line. Hogan showed up at ringside for something that there was absolutely no logical reason for him to show up to, entered a title match in a way that made absolutely no sense with someone he had no history with whatsoever, and became champion after about a year of inactivity. |

Because Hulk Hogan had a guaranteed in storyline title shot that he could cash in at any time?

And for anyone who doesn't like the Shield reforming idea, here's how you can clean it up; leave Ambrose out entirely and have Reigns do a full blown heel turn with the ending. Put Ambrose and Reigns on track for the title; have Reigns vs Ambrose for the #1 contendership at Extreme Rules (where Rollins does not defend the title, continuing Lesnar's establishment of minimal title defenses, which I think is good for the title.) That title match happens at Extreme Rules. One of the two wins Money in the Bank and eventually this leads to Rollins/Reigns/Ambrose triple threat at SummerSlam.

Honestly regardless of who wins the title match I'll be shocked if there's not a chorus of "we want Rollins" chants.

Seriously, the guy has a briefcase he can cash in to win the world title by pinning a guy who is dead.
That idea is not more logical than the uber-confident heel Mr. Fuji using the title to get Hogan in the ring so he could do to him what he just did to Bret. The only difference is the stretch of logic in the idea of a MITB case goes back one step further... and the fact that Hogan is about a million times bigger of a star than Seth Rollins could ever hope to be, thus making the moment much bigger. |

And if you don't like the "cashing in on a dead guy" bit, have Lesnar make a comeback of it and give him 10-15 minutes with Rollins, and even have Reigns cost Lesnar the match. You could have a Lesnar/Reigns rematch down the road for that. Reigns' heel turn would be built on the fans not caring about him when he was out of action and booing him at the Rumble.

Oh and PS the Rollins/Orton match could be used entirely to put over the notion that Rollins could cash in at the end of the night. Pretty sure they tested it for Ziggler a few years back even though it didn't happen.
