2) Roman Reigns (c) v/s Seth Rollins v/s Dean Ambrose – Triple Threat Match for the Universal Championship
Roman Reigns is not going to lose his Universal Title anytime soon; and in the words of Paul Heyman, ‘This is not a prediction, but a SPOILER.’ The SHIELD stable has transformed into a legendary one, with each of its members being former World Champions. If this match does take place, it would be the first time fans will be happy with Reigns main-eventing a Mania, even though this would be his 5th one in a row. As far as booking this match is concerned, the story kind of actually builds itself. ‘The Big Dog’ is able to defend his title successfully at the Crown Jewel PPV, or any event before WrestleMania for that matter. We can see Dean Ambrose turning heel, leading to a SHIELD implosion and the start of an excellent feud between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
Ambrose defeats Rollins clean for the Intercontinental Championship at a TLC and even in his contractual rematch. Dean then loses the title in his very first PPV defense against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble PPV, thanks to a distraction by Rollins. We then see both ‘The Architect’ and ‘The Lunatic Fringe’ entering the Royal Rumble and eliminating everyone, including Daniel Bryan. These two will be the last men, and after a solid exchange of moves between both, this would end in a tie, leading to both men getting a shot at the Universal Championship. The dynamics have been set up perfectly, with a pure face in Rollins, a pure heel in Ambrose and a tweener champion in Reigns, a solid 45-minute battle ending with a new champion will surely mesmerize the WWE Universe.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Following his defeat, Roman Reigns can be sent to the Blue brand, prior to the show moving to the FOX network. There have been rumours about The Rock v/s Roman Reigns main eventing WrestleMania for the title, but everyone will agree that both Rollins and Ambrose deserve to headline at least a single mania. Many fans, including me, would like Ambrose to win the title here, but I will go against it and make Rollins the Universal Champion here. (Reason mentioned in an upcoming slide)
