Something I want to float:
Would the idea of Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena for the WWE World Title at WrestleMania 32 disgust everybody? They're the two biggest stars the WWE has access to (not including The Rock). I've liked the idea of the Shield Triple Threat, which I didn't have for the title originally, then I did, now I don't again. Rollins, Reigns & Ambrose will get their moment and have their main events, but I'm not sure if it's meant to be now. I get that you can shove them out there and say "STARS!", but maybe there is more value in using them to pad out the undercard with meaning, then you can re-run the match at a later WrestleMania over the title.
Brock beating Rollins and then Cena winning the Rumble sets up that obvious "here are the top two guys fighting for the World Title" match. You'd probably still run Triple H vs. Rock with the Steph/Rousey stuff on the go. The Undertaker will be there. Shield Triple Threat. That Owens vs. Ziggler match. The most anticipated Divas Title match in WWE history.
The Night of Champions finish after the SummerSlam destruction of Cena was the last time these two interacted. It doesn't feel fresh, but there's the obvious story of Cena redemption with over 18 months rehab -- and make no mistake about it, they are rehabbing that match.
This would probably leave you with something like:
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Brock Lesnar (c) vs. John Cena
If The Rock wins, Ronda Rousey gets 5 minutes with Stephanie McMahon
Triple H vs. The Rock
Casket Match
The Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt
Triple Threat Match
Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose
Divas Championship
Sasha Banks (c) vs. Charlotte
Intercontinental Championship
Kevin Owens (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
WWE Tag Team Championship
The New Day (c) vs. The Usos
10-Divas Tag Team Match
The Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Paige & Asuka vs. Trish Stratus, Lita, Becky Lynch, Natalya & Bayley
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Sheamus (holder) vs. King Barrett vs. Randy Orton vs. Cesaro vs. Neville vs. Tyler Breeze vs. Chris Jericho
United States Championship
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Samoa Joe
Or something like that.
