Bryan vs. Brock would be utterly fantastic, but as great as Bryan is I really don't think WWE are going to try to make him "the guy" again with his health the way it is. Reports suggest that there is a lot of concern that he could re-injure himself and be out for ages due to the severity. I think he'll have a prominent role at WrestleMania 31 if healthy, but I don't know if WWE will give him the belt again in such a big moment.
I hate to sound like Bryan is being punished for getting hurt, as it's not his fault by any means, but it's a major risk to try and make him one of the top guys in the company and it's not one I think WWE is willing to take anymore. Neck injuries are no joke. You wouldn't have seen Kurt Angle main event WrestleMania 19 or possibly not wrestle on the card at all if WWE's health protocol back then was like it is now.
Lesnar vs. Reigns seems to be the likely route if they want Lesnar to be up-ended at Mania. Here's hoping Reigns improves on the mic by then.
