It wont happen. I cant see them changing it. I think Reigns wins to "prove" he can hang. Defeating Bryan and Bryan raises his hand or something.

It's no secret I strongly dislike Bryan, I admit he is a very good wrestler and that but the fact he is only in this position because the crowd got pissy because they didn't get what they wanted leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
 
TBH, he should have been in this position anyway. WWE shot themselves in the foot when they had him return and announce himself for the Rumble. Anything other than his win would not go down well.

They should have held of his return for after the Rumble.

At least now Reigns has a PPV one on one match. Think its only his second one. Bryan will help him loads in terms of putting together a long match. But theyve wasted Reigns with his build. He should be bigger than he is in terms of crowd reactions.

Oh well main event. Time to enjoy :)
Though I have a bad feeling Sheamus comes out and costs Reigns. Which would suck. Although Bryan vs Sheamus makes me laugh.
 
Fun match, but this deserves a much better crowd reaction. Though its starting to pick up now!
 
Yep, Bryan loses and shakes Reigns hand.

Had to happen. Endorsement from Bryan!

"If Reigns wins, we go home afterwards."

Brilliant sign in the crowd.

I like that :lol:. Missed the PPV but sounds like it was pretty average anyway. Will watch RAW to get updated with stuff though.
 
Decided to go bed in the end and doesn't look like I missed much. Time for them to hopefully get me excited for Mania as I'm not all that bothered right now.
 
Bryan vs Reigns was actually good a bit slow paced but good. So the mania card is looking like this:

Stardust vs Goldust
Rollins vs Orton
Ambrose vs Barrett
Cena vs Rusev
Lesnar vs Reigns

Throw in a tag match, a gimicy type match and a divas match and that;ll be the whole card with some segments here and there.

I've said it before I dont really have a major problem with Reigns it just feels like his push is being forced way too much and its not organic but it is what it is. I hope this actually have some plans for him post Mania hes going to need to be managed carefully to get him super over somehow.

+ Wyatt vs Undertaker & Sting vs HHH
 
Was watching a pretty good Stone Cold Steve Austin interview the other day. Apologies if already posted.

 
I don't think a Reigns heel turn and authority alliance would be all that bad. If the fans can't get behind him then just turn him heel.

Obviously it would make the MitB situtation with Rollins a little difficult.

Taker vs Wyatt?
Bryan vs Sheamus?
Sting vs HHH?

There really needs to be more gimmick matches. Some TLC shit or something. The card looks dull as dishwater.
 
Thoughts on Fast Lane:

The Good:

Cesaro & Kidd have titles! Probably not for long, but let's enjoy it while it lasts.

Cena vs. Rusev was a good match. I know Cena didn't exactly lose clean, but it only took a low blow in terms of dirty moves to beat him. Considering what he's survived in the past, that's pretty much as close as you're going to get against someone like Rusev.

Stardust's promo after the match was excellent.

Reigns vs. Bryan was a good match, and the over-the-top reactions to Reigns winning kept me entertained for a while ("Oh my God, Vince hates me personally, Roman Reigns killed my dog, of course this is the new dog after John Cena killed the last one, I hope Reigns steps on lego, I'm cancelling my WWE Network subscription, I'm cancelling my Sky subscription, but I'm not cancelling the apocalypse because it's definitely happening at Wrestlemania now, oh woe is me." - actual quote, not made up at all, honest).

The Bad:

Goldust defeats Stardust with a roll-up (featuring dodgy referee count)
Nikki defeats Paige with a roll-up (featuring tights holding)
Barrett defeats Ambrose via disqualification
Kane defeats Dolph Ziggler in any sort of way in 2015 (featuring Big Show punch)

I get that you want to keep people looking "strong" on the way to Wrestlemania, but you can actually have some decisive victories.

During Bray Wyatt's promo on The Undertaker, he said that he was going to send Undertaker home. He's there for eleven months out of the year anyway, so I don't see what difference that's going to make to him. Promos for their match should be fun, the match itself...not. The idea of Taker trying to take one of Bray's crossbodies makes me cringe a bit, actually. He may explode into dust.

Sting vs. Triple H. Apparently this is all because Triple H is the "face" of WWE, and that's the company that put Sting's WCW out of business. OK, let's just ignore the fact that we've already had The Rock vs. Goldberg and therefore the whole WWE/WCW faces thing has been done, and focus on the fact that all of this happened in 2001. Now, glancing down at that nice little clock at the bottom of my computer screen, it says "23/02/2015" That last number seems quite a lot different from 2001. Was Sting just wandering around backstage at a TNA event when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said "hang on a minute..."? Is Sting's new gimmick that he's really upset about things that happened over ten years ago? Are we going to get a segment where Sting walks straight past Reigns to congratulate Austin on winning the Rumble? Is Sting going to attack The Usos for running over The Rock? And because it's Sting vs. Triple H, and WWE tells us we should be amazingly excited about this whole thing, they're going to give it ages on Wrestlemania and it's going to be really long and boring and I hate everything about this.

Double turn. Authority get sick of rollins losing big matches, but switch to Reigns as face of company. Let reigns turn heel (maybe put Heyman with him - he plants seeds for giving Brocks weakness to Reigns to exploit). Heyman managing Reigns who is backed by Authority.
Rollins beats Orton at WM but is laid out backstage by an "anonymous" who is then revealed to be Reigns and with the help of J&J.

Can be done tbh but clearly wont be. They want Reigns to be the new Cena and then I can see a build for Reigns vs Cena with Reigns winning (passing of torch) for future but keeping Cena (maybe giving him a final title reign down the line to make him 16 time champ)
 
Will we see the Andre the Giant memorial Battle Royal again this Mania? As if so there is your gimmicky filler match for this year. Wasn't too bad a ppv seen a lot worse from WWE and at least a few storylines carrying on to Mania to give them time to build them up properly.

I can see Cena having at least a couple more world championship belts. He's not that old yet and is still adored by the kids and many adults, WWE have to be careful as they have also lost (or look like they have lost) Rey Mysterio. Cena and Rey have to be two of the biggest stars, especially when it comes to merchandising.
 
The matches will probably be good, some of the build will be decent. The Raw after WM will probably be better.

It seems WWE has one good WM PPV, then one bad. WM30, 28 and 26 were good. 29 was terrible. 27 was bad too. Actually 25 was crap with a bad main event too. I expect 31 to be bad and 32 to be good lol.

32 is in Cowboys Stadium in Dallas Texas. It can hold up to 100k people, Texas is home state for Undertaker, Austin! :D

I think they will really have to go big for that one, it will probably be a great event.

I was thinking a Rollins turn also, but he's doing rather well as a heel currently. Either way, it's been nearly a year since the Shield split so I think one of them is due a turn soon.

In regards to Bryan, I was thinking the other day while watching some older stuff is that it should be fairly simple to book him. Ultimately, the fans are only going to be happy if he's winning or being screwed over in some way (from a storyline perspective). Much like with the top faces from the Attitude era. They got it mostly right with his Authority feud, but what's being done to him since his return is just bizarre.

Fans are most definitely not happy if he's being screwed over. Fans complain he's being screwed over even when he isn't so god forbid he actually gets screwed over.

There was an interesting interview I found recently from a year ago where HHH put over Bryan as being one of the best he's worked with and really wanted to put him over right but they had to wait for the big moment and not the shitty 3 or 4 lesser PPV's that everybody cried out for him to be champion at.

Oh shit I dont know how I forgot about Sting vs HHH and Wyatt vs Taker hahaha. Yeah Bryan will have a match but it could easily be that gimmick match or maybe Sheamus or Ziggler.

I guess so. From my perspective when I watched it as a child however, if Stone Cold was getting screwed out of the title every month for example, I would absolutely love it.
 
I think Taker is being very underrated on here. He's had some great matches over the past few years. The Lesnar match he spent nearly the entire match concussed and was rushed to hospital afterwards. I can imagine him putting on a very good match this year
 
Bray Wyatt has got to be the most boring guy in WWF/E history.

Says a load of gibberish, laughs, says more gibberish, laughs, puts the mic down and spreads his arms and laughs.
