This is no different. They have existing storylines that could've easily been forwarded and extended via the tournament. They just chose not to.
You don't seem to understand the difference between booked and announced on TV. I would wager the top matches at Mania were already booked, but won't be announced for months.

If you don't get that difference, this conversation will go nowhere.

So what is keeping them from adjusting their plans seeing as a key cog of their long-term plansis now out for the next 6 to 9 months?

Things change. It's nothing new. This situation happened two years ago with Bryan. They adapted accordingly. I understand they have long term plans, however, these are professional writers. There's no reason they couldn't have used the tournament to further what they do have planned or plant seeds for those plans. Again, they just chose not to.

Again, why screw up long term plans just to make a one off event (this tournament) more interesting?

Say the plan is a babyface Reigns vs babyface Cena for the title at Mania. Why would you move away from that based on Rollins getting hurt? If the long term plan called for Reigns as a babyface to beat Rollins at Survivor Series, why wouldnt you just have Reigns win the tournament as a babyface, so you end up in the same spot? Only difference would be you had Rollins vs Reigns penciled in for the balance of the year, so now you need someone to fill that void. But you still keep your Mania plans in tact.

Of course you COULD change everything, and try to make the tournament more interesting, but if you felt the existing long term plan was the right move, why would you change that?

What long terms have I suggested change? Reigns can and should still win the tournament. He can still go on to face Cena. Taker can still show up and light up the crowd and the feud with Wyatt can still be continued. Nothing about the tournament would chang long term plans outside of Rollins' involvement. You can still enhance and progress feuds by including guys in the tournament instead of having guys just randomly tossed in.

But that's what they are likely going to do. So you should be happy, no?

Reigns will likely battle the odds again and win. Owens vs Ambrose will likely be furthered. Del Rio will continue to be pushed by putting up a good fight against Reigns. Some up and coming guys got wins (Cesaro, Neville for example). You had a somewhat shocking upset.

Are you essentially saying the tournament is a fail because Bray Wyatt(embroiled in another program) and one of New Day (Tag champs and they likely don't want them to lose a throwaway match early in the tournament).

I just don't get the beef when we've only competed one round.
