Well if Vince actually does the smart main event.

Then I guess we would have to endure Sheamus as champ until the Rumble when Brock comes back and destroys him.

Roman can't win at TLC. Have HHH somehow be the cause of Roman's elimanation in the rumble so that can just be a feud and of course the returning DB finally wins a rumble after 3 years of the crowd waiting for it.

D-Bry vs Bork is the only big main event they can get right now. Unless Cena vs Lesnar part 5 is happening. Cena goes over Brock and wins the 16.......plz no......

I could very easily see them doing Lesnar vs Cena again. Mainly because I don't know who else they would put against Lesnar if it's not Reigns. Rollins and Orton are out. Wyatt loses all his feuds. Ambrose seems stuck as Reigns' buddy. I don't see them putting KO in that spot. The only other real option is Bryan if he comes back.

They could, because in the last few years when Vince has panicked the answer has been "lolmorecenawins" for about 90% of those cases.

The only case where i could see it working is if it's Cena/Bryan II. That would be an amazing match considering how round 1 was a classic despite Cena having a basketball infused to his arm. Otherwise? No buys.

I still cannot believe they let roman main event last year. So.... I don't see them stopping what they want.

If this is the plan, they need to have the Rumble be last and the crowd going ******* over Bryan's win.

Really? Daniel Bryan vs. Lesnar? If Bryan wrestles Lesnar, he will be permanently injured. He tosses Roman, Cena, Undertaker and whoever else he faces. The WWE will never put him in a main even again because of what has happened to him. Sting vs. Taker would be perfect, a retirement match for both if they were smart. Build it to see who is the best, the Franchise vs. the Phenom. As far as the rest of the matches, I would wait to see what happens with the world title in the next 3 months.

Lesnar can work incredibly safe with Bryan, and they can tell a good story with Bryan being a submission specialist and using that to his advantage to find holes in Lesnar's offense.

Give Lesnar and Bryan 20+ minutes and you have the WM crowd happy, a legit spark and interest in the product, and an instant MOTYC.

What is with this nonsense narrative as if Bryan's injuries are all one and the same from him being thrown around? That's not how he got hurt originally and it isn't how he got concussed.

Replicating the build to Wrestlemania XXXI with Daniel Bryan replacing Roman Reigns is not the solution.

There is no legitimate solution to Wrestlemania 32. It will be whatever it will be but it probably won't be seen as one of the greatest of all-time with how things are at this point.

the current talent pool for the show looks pretty mediocre...a partial consequence of all the 50/50 booking they do. no stars.

lesnar is going to be the main event, but who really deserves to be in there with him? cena's been done, taker's been done, reigns has been done(and will get boo'ed even worse this time)

bray wyatt has no drawing power because he's a loser...sheamus as champ heading into mania? lol.....

reigns is going to be champion heading into WM let's face it guys

Roman Reigns defeats Sheamus at TLC followed by the Authority coming out and offering a hand to Roman again (this can happen the next night on RAW). Roman Reigns cuts a promo on how even when he's won, he loses by defying the Authority and how the fans don't appreciate him anyway so what's the point? He shakes hands with HHH and thus a new star is born.

I would be perfectly fine with a heel Roman Reigns defending at Wrestlemania against John Cena...as long as Reigns won.

Now will any of that happen? Of course not, but it would be a legitimate solution.
