How WWE should book WrestleMania 33 main event.
Start by teasing a little dissension between the Club and AJ
heading into MITB, still having a heel Rollins face Roman for the title. AJ
wins the MITB match and Reigns looks to win only to have the lights go out and
we have the debut of Finn Balor. That way Roman can retain over Rollins but the
fans go nuts for that debut so it’s all good. Next night on RAW we get Rollins
saying he deserves a rematch because of the shenanigans and Shane/Steph give it
to him for the next PPV, but the main event for the next week is an 8-man tag
between The Club against the Usos, Roman, and Rollins. At the next PPV, we get
the Club taking on the Usos and Ambrose because he got involved on Smackdown at
some point. Except for AJ, he takes on Dolph because the Corbin feud is over by
this point. Enzo and Cass defeat the new Day for the titles. In the main event,
Roman wins clean.
The next night on RAW, Rollins comes out and says, “I lost
clean. I have no excuses the better man won.” AJ comes out and taunts the
former Mr. MITB and the match is set AJ/Rollins for SummerSlam. The Club wins a
number #1 contenders match for the tag titles at SummerSlam. By this point, Cena has won the US Title and
is doing the open challenge again, leading to Balor/Cena for the US Title at
SummerSlam. RAW ends with Roman talking about I beat AJ, I beat Triple H, I
beat Rollins, and I’m the guy. And I will take on anyone to prove it. Well here
comes the pain, Lesnar and Heyman come out and you get the rematch of
Lesnar/Reigns.
Also at this point, KO has won the IC title from the MIz,
while Sami beat Cesaro at the last PPV. This leads to the match between KO and
Sami for the title at SummerSlam. We will come back to this.
At SummerSlam, the Club loses to Enzo and Cass for the
titles, AJ defeats Rollins, Sami wins the IC title, Balor beats Cena by count
out, and Roman beats Lesnar clean except the Club jump him after the match
leading to AJ cashing in and winning the title. I know this is a recurring
thing at SummerSlam but it works.
The next PPV, Night of Champions, sees the rematches where
Cena beats Balor, The Club win the titles; Sami beats KO again in a Ladder
match, and AJ defeats Roman to retain due to the debut of Nakamura.
This leads to the Club just dominating everyone on RAW,
looking unstoppable. Until the end of
RAW when Cena help take out the Club with Roman and Ambrose. But the numbers
game is too much until Rollins makes the save; leading to the him putting his fist
out, Ambrose and Reigns put there’s in and the Shield is back.
Hell in a Cell looks like this the Club defend against the
New Day, Nakamura defeats Sami for the IC title, Balor defends against Cena in
HIAC, and AJ defends against Roman in the Cell. The show ends with the Club
holding all the gold.
The match is set for Survivor Series, the only match that
can contain all the chaos, WAR GAMES. They tease a growing rift with AJ and the
Club. He costs them the tag titles on RAW and it looks like the Shield has the
advantage. (Ambrose and Reigns win the belts).
Also on the card, you get KO vs Cesaro and finally get Wyatt vs
Lesnar. Lesnar and KO have a run in in
the locker room after Owens wins his match over a former Heyman guy. In the
main event, they tease again AJ turning on the Club but oh no it’s Rollins who
turns on the Shield and joins the Club.
TLC looks like this, Reigns and Ambrose drop the belts back
to the Club, Nakamura retains in a ladder match, Balor drops it to Cena in a
chairs match, and Seth Rollins wins in a TLC between him, AJ, and Randy Orton.
Orton has been feuding with Wyatts for the past few months.
Next night on RAW, Seth disbands the Club because he does
not need anyone’s help. AJ isn’t happy
he wants his rematch at Royal Rumble in a LMS match. Gallows and Anderson go on
to feud with the Vaudvillains, New Day and eventually American Aloha at Mania.
Balor vs Orton is set for Rumble, and so is Nakamura vs Cena. Roman and Ambrose
tease a feud over who will be the one to get revenge on Rollins.
At The Rumble, Nakamura beats Cena now holding both IC and
US titles; Balor defeats Orton only to have the watts attack him after the
match. Rollins retains over AJ. In the rumble match, KO eliminates Lesnar and
Ambrose wins eliminating Roman.
Fastlane gives us Cena defeating Nakamura to regain the US
title, Balor and Orton beat two of the Wyatts but not Bray, KO beats Curtis
Axel (the whole time taunting he beat another Heyman guy) leading to Lesnar
hitting the ring and dropping him with an F5. Rollins defends against Dolph
because why not. AJ vs Roman vs Ambrose with the stipulation that if AJ or
Roman wins it becomes a Triple Threat at Mania. Roman wins.
Mania looks like this, Nakamura putting IC title up in a
ladder match, Cena vs AJ for the US title, Balor vs Wyatt, Cesaro vs Triple H
(because I’d like to see that match and Trips has to be there somewhere). KO vs
Lesnar, and main event of Rollins vs Ambrose vs Reigns for the title with
Ambrose finally winning the big one.
