Its possible but doubt it work on the level that Austin-Bret did. Mostly its going to require a lot of work by Creative to do the real building needed for both guys and their feud. Rollins alone needs a lot of work done to fix how badly he's been booked for months. A double switch won't really work if it doesn't happen right around the same time.
If the idea is for Reigns to be more of tweener like Austin was, putting him over Bryan won't work. The crowd would just despise the WWE again like this year. Rollins would be getting cheers at Mania not because the crowd legit cares for him but because they don't want WWE's hand pick star to win just like the past 2 Rumbles.
Same for Rollins still being with the Authority or going over Reigns clean once Reigns fully turns. The face turn needs to happen right there.
Better would be for Reigns to win the belt at Survivor Series and then grow more delusional/cocky over time. Rollins gets dumped like Orton by the Authority while the Authority gets closer to Reigns or hand picks Sheamus since he has the MitB case.
Rollins wins the Rumble, Reigns faces Bryan at the Feb. ppv to add more fuel to his heel run, and then either have Rollins or Reigns go over at Mania. Rollins could go over and then get cashed in by Sheamus or Reigns goes over but with Authority help. Reigns and Sheamus could have some sort of uneasy alliance where Sheamus is willing to help Reigns out but has no problems being champ himself to keep the belt with the Authority if Reigns is about to lose it.
