Warning, fantasy booking... Maybe they play off of the "chosen one" angle with Reigns and have Rollins (and Heyman?) help him beat Lesner only for Rollins to turn on Reigns while cashing in on the MiTB? You reboot both Reigns (heel with Heyman) and Rollins (face) and give Reigns more time to perfect his in-ring and mic game. I just think they have to do something that's not formulaic with the ending (Reigns beats Lesner, maybe Rollins cashes in and takes the belt). There's gotta be some more drama or swerves as the payoff.
It used to be that way back when the MITB match was at Mania. But now that they have the match in its own event in July, Rollins has until July of this year to cash it in.
Nah just has to cash in before the next MITB PPV which is in June. I would like to see Rollins cash in at Mania, of all the guys he's been the MVP of the WWE the past year and deserves it the most.
They are set Lesnar/Reigns Sting/HHH Wyatt/Taker IC Ladder Match Rusev/Cena Orton/Rollins Paige & AJ/The Bella's Andre Battle Royal Fatal Four Way Tag Title

PLEASE...if he can wrestle on non-PPV events, that would be really cool to see. I know it takes a toll on the body, but having an occasional match on Raw or Smackdown would help bring in viewers and get to see The BEAST, The CONQUEROR do what he does best.
Would have been better to keep this under wraps. They should keep the belt on Lesnar, and give that win to somebody who's in a better position to take advantage of it. They can still super push Reigns long term, but putting the belt on him now is gonna provide a permanent backlash. Having said that they've been all in on Reigns, I see no reason they stop now. In fact I think this whole announcement is one last chance to prop up Reigns win. I'm still not gonna watch mania, if it goes well I might resubscribe.
I don't think anybody wants to see Reigns squashed, even his critics like myself. They (hopefully) work a decent match, Reigns goes toe to toe with lesnar but comes up short. A little down the line somebody (Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose, maybe even Reigns) can slay the beast and then Rollins snakes in. Somebody has to get that rub of beating Lesnar clean, it just shouldn't be Reigns at Mania IMO.
I can't ever see Lesnar losing in the WWE, unless he gets legitimately injured in a match or something. I know WWE creative will book him to lose sometime, but this guy just seems like he could destroy anyone on the roster right now, twice over.
I agree with that. Rusev and Cesaro are the only guys I could legite buy taking down Lesnar (and Cesaro is so far down the card). CM Punk would be the most epic from a storyline point.
Please don't book Brock to lose to Sheamus. I can see Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas next year.
Glad to hear Lesnar will be staying in the WWE... I hope he holds on to the belt for at least another 6 months... But I'm betting Heyman will turn on him at Mania
