This sucks for Rollins, but provided he recovers well, I do think this will be a good refresher for him later. Just trying to point out the silver-living. When he returns he'll get a huge pop and could turn against The Authority who just "forgot about him." Rollins is going to make the most money he is ever going to make in the WWE as a top babyface.
As for who they go with now? My first thought is that without the The Undertaker & Kane vs. The Wyatt Family officially booked, they might put a kibosh on that and just have the new "super-powered" Bray Wyatt enter the tournament on the other side to Reigns. Ambrose is likely to be in there too. If I had to predict a top four, I'd probably guess that Reigns vs. Del Rio and Ambrose vs. Wyatt will be the semi-finals. Ambrose could beat Owens, Del Rio could beat Cesaro, Wyatt could beat Ryback and Reigns could beat...Sheamus or Big Show? Seems like a pretty safe bet for crowd reactions and such.
Now would be a great time to make the call to some guys like Chris Jericho, The Rock, Brock Lesnar or Batista, or calling up some fresh blood like Finn Balor or Samoa Joe, but I can see the WWE sticking to their game plan.
I'd love to see Cesaro make it further through the tournament, but I can't see them letting him achieve that, even though it would be a great story and get the crowd invested. I think we'll probably get a Reigns vs. Ambrose final, and that one of the two might possibly turn heel. I could see Reigns as Corporate Champ, but they might feel it's "been done," and just go with Ambrose to continue flaming the "Reigns super-babyface" fire.
