WWE Championship Picture

Reigns - Royal Rumble Winner Bryan - Was never beaten for the title Orton - Lost the belt in a Triple Threat without being pinned/submitting Rollins - MITB Winner/de-facto #1 Contender with Authority backing That's four spots full. Add in Show and Kane as Authority muscle (and have J&J get in the pod with Rollins for shits and giggles) and you've got yourself a pretty good EC match. Oh well.

This has got me thinking. What is the main event of WM were to be a 4 way elimination match or otherwise including Lesnar, Rollins, Bryan and Reigns?


I somehow can't picture Reigns not being a part of the main event/title match having won the Royal Rumble and even if his spot is on the line. It just undermines the credibility of the RR match.

Bryan is clearly going to main event one way or another. I don't think a match would Ziggler would suffice and neither would a Sheamus return.


One possibility could be that Bryan and Reigns give it their absolute everything to the point they both get knocked out and both counted out by the referee. This would avoid a potential backlash like we had at the RR with the Bryan scenario and also fans wouldn't complain for refunds etc as the PPV is free on the network etc. Both men retain their spot in the match.


Rollins then complains about not being in the title picture and then offers to sacrifice the briefcase in return for his spot in the match?


Who would Rollins be fighting at Mania if not in the title match?


Note: I forgot, Orton is due to return so that could rule out the above.
