Enough for a title match at Fastlane to make sense?

Bray Wyatt and Goldberg each won their respective brand's championships on the PPVs before Mania.

Triple H over Edge in the Chamber to set up HHH vs Orton at WM 25

Jericho over Undertaker in the Chamber to set up Jericho vs Edge AT WM 26

Batista over Cena at Chamber to set up Batista vs Cena at WM 26

This doesn't count. The title clearly says "1 month", not "month and a few weeks". You're better than this, STD.

Yeah, 4 weeks and 3 days is the absolute longest for it to count as a month. What was STD thinking?

Crossing my fingers that the main events both change before (points at wrestlemania sign).

Nakamura does nothing for me, I'd rather see Reigns than Nakamura.

This also falls into the 1+ month category:

Also when mentioning HHH beating Edge in the Chamber to set up Orton v. Triple H.

You forgot to mention that during the same night, Edge defeated John Cena to set up Edge, John Cena and Big Show the next month at Mania if that counts.
