Another idea is to have Brock Lesnar cost Roman Reigns the match. This adds an interesting element to the Lesnar/Bryan dynamic, but it also protects Reigns and can create this idea that Lesnar might be afraid of him.
What does Reigns then do for Mania? Coming out of this all, his biggest enemies (besides Lesnar and Heyman) would be The Authority, and their avatar is Seth Rollins. And there's a lot of history between those two men. But then there's Randy Orton, whose path upon his return should focus on the destruction of Seth Rollins. I've long pushed for the Shield Triple Threat to happen, but it's hard to force Dean Ambrose in there organically, since he'll be all tied up with Bad News Barrett, or so logic would dictate; but a Triple Threat between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton actually makes a lot of sense, and adds a former WrestleMania headliner into their issues. Plus, Orton's whole thing is that he never received a one-on-one rematch for the title he never lost in a one-on-one scenario. If this match were for the Money in the Bank contract, it'd really fit all the characters involved.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
-Brock shows up at Fast Lane and costs Roman Reigns his title shot. "Why did Brock help Bryan?" is the money question heading into RAW. Is it because Brock thinks he will have an easier time beating Bryan at WrestleMania? I'm sure Bryan would say "NO!" to that, and would gladly step up his game to prove Lesnar (and Paul Heyman) wrong, even with Brock promising to end Bryan's career at WrestleMania by beating him to a pulp and destroying The YES! Movement just like he destroyed The Streak.
Triple Threat Match for the Money in the Bank Contract
Seth Rollins (current holder) vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton
-Perhaps this a demand of Sting's in order for him to accept Triple H's challenge for a match at WrestleMania? Rollins is in possession of the golden ticket, and both Reigns and Orton want it -- as well as Rollins' blood on their hands -- and they're not afraid to step over each other to get it. All of Rollins' wicked deeds come back to bite him in the promise of this match, which is what WrestleMania should be about.
Intercontinental Championship
Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Bad News Barrett
-After beating Barrett for his first IC Title at Fast Lane, Barrett becomes obsessed with winning his title back for the sixth time -- after all, he is the greatest IC Champion of the modern era, in his own mind. This would likely have some sort of gimmick added to it, so as not to be a straight rematch, and to play into both characters, which don't mind getting down and dirty. If WrestleMania has an interactive quality, it might be featured here, with the "WWE Universe" getting to decide which sort of brawl Ambrose and Barrett have over the title.
