(I know I could have posted this in the WM prediction thread, but ehhhhh...)
If the following happened, would you find it resulting in a more compelling card for WrestleMania, or is it too needlessly complicated?
---
At the end of the Fastlane main event, Lesnar has Ambrose up for the f-5. Reigns comes in and tries to go for a Superman Punch on Lesnar to help Ambrose, but Ambrose manages to wiggle out of it and land behind Lesnar. At the same time, Reigns jumps for the move, but Lesnar ducks last second, and Reigns ends up Superman Punching Ambrose. Reigns turns around and ducks a clothesline from Lesnar, bounces off the ropes, and goes for a Reigns goes for the Spear on Lesnar. However, Brock sidesteps, and Reigns ends up spearing Ambrose, who never completely fell down following the Superman Punch.
Reigns looks shocked, and Brock takes advantage by delivering an F-5 to Reigns, who rolls out of the ring (or he can even F-5 Roman over the top rope and onto the floor outside for a cool spot). Lesnar then takes Ambrose and delivers an F-5 and pins him.
Lesnar celebrates and is going to WrestleMania, but before the show ends, the lights got out, and the Wyatt family surround Lesnar. Ensue post-match beatdown that succeeds in taking Lesnar out.
On the ensuing Raw, Lesnar comes to the ring incensed. He will face HHH at WM, but he also wants his hands on Bray Wyatt. He proceeds to decimate the roster (either throughout the night, Stone Cold style or just interrupts a multi-person match and kills everyone, then a few more people who try to get him to stop), until HHH acquiesces to a triple threat: HHH vs Brock vs Bray.
The triple threat for the title adds a wild card element in Bray and offers the chance for him to get over. Bray might even win and engage in a program with Lesnar after WrestleMania one on one.
Meanwhile, Roman shows remorse for his accidental finishers on "his brother" but reaffirms that he was going all out to get to WM. Tease tension between Reigns and Ambrose for a couple of weeks before Roman turns heel and attacks Ambrose in earnest. The reason could be as simple as jealousy over crowd reaction and Ambrose being more popular than Reigns. Sign a match for WrestleMania that continues into a program that Rollins might even get involved in eventually when he comes back.

Now, I know all of that is overly complicated compared to the storylines currently in place, but would that pique your interest more than what they're doing now, even though they're shoehorning Reigns vs HHH with a predictable ending, ditto w/ Bray vs Lesnar? And everyone knows the Wyatts will cost Lesnar the Fastlane match right now. So I don't think anyone's really caring about the show.
Thoughts? Improvements?
