That's a good card. A damn good card. I've wanted to see Rock vs. Wyatt for the longest time. Like Cesaro/Cena or Lesnar/Bryan, I don't feel that the timing is currently right though. Maybe in Minneapolis?

Everything else is sound. I'm not sure if they could get Mysterio back, but the idea had crossed my mind. I'm going back to Del Rio vs. Cesaro. I've changed my mind, and as much as I do sincerely believe that a Samoa Joe Survivor Series debut and undefeated run into WrestleMania could shake things up -- he's either in or past his prime now, why hold back? etc. -- I think you could flesh him out on NXT and advertise him at WrestleMania for RAW the next night. The crowd will still be hot and you can feel like something is starting.

Zayn/Owens I'm actually against. Not vehemently, but just on a preference level. I know they could have Zayn return and build it up on WWE TV, but I just feel like it's an "NXT feud." And beyond that, I think it shoots Zayn up above other stars, and I sort of like this idea of a "structure" that doesn't put too many first-timers on at WrestleMania. It's a bit old-school, and it's not something I've got set in stone, but I'd rather see Owens develop a feud with someone currently active, conclude the story with them, then move into a fresh feud with Sami Zayn post-Mania. It starts the new chapter of the wrestling book after Mania closes the old one.

Ambrose vs. Jericho could work. I've wanted to see it for a long time. Again, I'm not sure if timing is right, but Heel Jericho vs. Face Ambrose is money as an upper mid-card program. If you're running it, in my opinion, I'd at least suggest the idea of having Zayn cost Owens the IC Title to Ambrose (or at least getting involved somehow), and Jericho vs. Ambrose actually being over the IC Title and Owens/Zayn being more personal. Not sure if it really matters, but it's worth pitching.

The only other one that makes me...mmm, is Brock vs. Reigns II as the main event. I'm not against Brock vs. Reigns, per se, but if they run it, I'd like them to have Brock toss Reigns in the Rumble, and Reigns to show some balls by getting his in and tossing Brock. Make it more personal. It kind of gives the subconscious idea that the main event of Mania last year is the semi this year.

So much innuendo in there... Good for a macho display of dominance, yeah?
