Fantasy Booking: How WWE Should Book Shane McMahon To Win The Universal Championship At WrestleMania 35

Brock Lesnar won the Universal title for the second time at WWE Crown Jewel and the Beast has continued to be a part-timer on RAW. He seldom appears on the weekly episodes and hardly defends his title in the WWE.

The Authority consisting of the McMahon family has taken over the control of RAW and Smackdown Live since the TLC PPV of 2018 and it looks like we will seriously get some interesting storylines heading into WrestleMania 35.

Braun Strowman is set to go one-on-one with the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble PPV for the Universal title and it is no secret that the chances of the Monster Among Men winning the championship are very slim.

Given that Strowman fails to win the title, in my opinion, Shane McMahon (whom I am assuming will be taken out of his tag team angle with the Miz) should emerge as the next challenger for the Universal title and he should not only challenge the Beast Incarnate but also dethrone him as the champion and send him out of the WWE forever.

Here's how the WWE should book this WrestleMania feud.

Royal Rumble - Brock Lesnar defeats Braun Strowman, Shane McMahon stuns the WWE Universe by winning the Rumble entering at #29

He is the Best in the World and should face no problem in winning the Rumble

Now, Braun Strowman has failed many times to win the Universal Championship and it seems like he will have his last opportunity at the Royal Rumble PPV. After the Monster fails to win the match, we will have the Royal Rumble match to determine the new #1 contender for the Universal/WWE title.

Shane McMahon would shockingly enter the Royal Rumble match at #29 and most probably eliminate the most hated heel of the company Baron Corbin to receive a huge pop after winning the match and send shockwaves in the WWE Universe.

RAW after Royal Rumble - Shane McMahon comes out and says that he will challenge for the Universal Title

Shane O' Mac will drop a bomb and reveal that he will battle Brock Lesnar at WM 35

The WWE will not have the Universal Championship match at Elimination Chamber and it would only be great if Shane McMahon chooses the Beast Brock Lesnar as his opponent for WM 35.

Now, this storyline can have another turn as well and have Shane challenge Daniel Bryan for the WWE title but to have McMahon collide with the Beast Incarnate would make more sense than Shane vs Daniel. Had the latter feud been planned for WM 34, it would undoubtedly deserve to main event the show. However, there have been almost no interactions between Shane and Daniel since Bryan won the WWE title and so, WWE should not book that match.

Towards the reasons which Shane O' Mac will reveal....

On the Road to WrestleMania - Shane McMahon reveals why he entered the Royal Rumble and wants to challenge the Universal Champion at WM 35

Shane McMahon will emerge as the next People's Champ

The only thing that has hurt the fans most about Brock Lesnar's reign as the Universal Champion is his sporadic appearances and constant absences from WWE TV. Shane McMahon would reveal that he entered the Royal Rumble with one sole purpose and that was to bring the Universal Championship back to Monday Night RAW.

Also, he will become the face of the McMahon family and will be WWE's candidate to bring back the Universal Championship on WWE TV every week. He will also gain the WWE Universe's sympathy by saying that he is going to do this for Roman Reigns who had to relinquish the Universal title due to Leukemia.

Shane would become the biggest babyface in the history of WWE and Vince McMahon would announce a contract signing for Elimination Chamber.

Elimination Chamber - Brock Lesnar destroys Shane McMahon after the Prodigal Son mouths insults him

Expect the Beast to beat the hell out of Shane McMahon

During the contract signing, Paul Heyman would cut a heel promo but would also mention that his client respects Shane McMahon before saying that Brock Lesnar respects people who had been thrown away by him (referring to SummerSlam 2016 where Brock Lesnar F5ed Shane McMahon after he confronted him).

This statement would anger Shane O' Mac and the Money would try his best to take the Conqueror down but this segment would have Brock Lesnar stand tall after hitting Shane with multiple German Suplexes and F5s.

When Brock Lesnar would be leaving with Paul Heyman, Shane McMahon would stand up efforts and point towards the WM 35 logo to end the show.

Shane McMahon vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship is OFFICIAL for WrestleMania 35.

RAW Episodes after Elimination Chamber - Brock Lesnar destroys the entire RAW roster while Shane McMahon is recovering from his kayfabe injury

Brock Lesnar would destroy the entire Locker Room to send a message to Shane McMahon

Since both Brock Lesnar and Shane McMahon do not compete in matches on RAW, the build to this WrestleMania match will mostly feature confrontations and beatdown segments. Vince McMahon will turn face during this feud and instruct the entire locker room that WWE's primary goal now is to bring the Universal Championship back on RAW and it will be the duty of every RAW superstar to contribute in achieving that goal.

The face superstars of RAW would try their best to take out Brock Lesnar but they would ultimately be squashed by the Beast Incarnate while Shane McMahon would be recovering from the injuries he suffered during the Elimination Chamber contract signing.

This would establish Brock Lesnar as the monster heel of the company and the fans would immensely boo the Conqueror for his actions.

RAW before WrestleMania 35 - There are no signs of Shane McMahon recovering until WM 35, Seth Rollins and Finn Balor battle in a #1 contender's match

These two guys would pull off the match of the year before being taken out by Brock Lesnar

Shane McMahon would not be cleared for his Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 35 leading Triple H to announce a #1 contender's match between Seth Rollins and Finn Balor with the winner challenging Brock Lesnar for the title.

Both the talented superstars would tear each other apart before Lesnar's music would hit and he would take down both Rollins and Balor. While he would be roaring after hitting Finn with an F5, out of nowhere Shane O' Mac will return with a steel chair and execute multiple chair shots over Brock Lesnar.

The hurt Lesnar would go near the turnbuckles where he would be hit with a picture perfect Coast to Coast by Shane McMahon who would end the show with the Universal Championship in his hands.

Looking at Shane's return, Vince McMahon would appear in a backstage segment saying Paul Heyman that the WrestleMania main event will be a Hell in A Cell match.

WrestleMania 35 - Shane McMahon hits the Grandest Leap of Faith with some help from Roman Reigns, wins the Universal Championship by pinning Brock Lesnar

This time Shane's opponent will not move away from his position

Brock Lesnar would brutalize Shane McMahon and will dominate the match for nearly 15 minutes but Shane McMahon would refuse to give up. He would survive multiple German Suplexes and F5s yet would kick out at 2.99999.

The Prodigal Son will then hit Lesnar with a low blow when the Beast would be celebrating his dominance. Shane will then pay tribute to Roman Reigns by executing a cage-breaking spear which would take both the superstars out of the cell. McMahon would grab a fire extinguisher and spray it on Lesnar to lay him off completely and from out of nowhere Roman Reigns (he still has unfinished business with Lesnar) would appear from the crowd and lay down Brock Lesnar on the announcer's desk.

Roman would then instruct Shane McMahon to execute the Grandest Leap of Faith from the top of the Cell and this time he will directly land over Brock Lesnar and slay the Beast by pinning him and winning the Universal title.

Roman Reigns and Shane McMahon would dedicate this victory to the WWE Universe with the Beast lying unconscious out of the ring, to end the show.
