WWE WrestleMania 33: Booking a picture perfect WrestleMania

Interpromotional Money in the Bank Ladder Match (Winner gets a shot at their brand’s respective World Title): Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho vs. Roman Reigns vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus vs. Randy Orton vs. Baron Corbin

The famous briefcase should be on the line at WrestleMania instead of on its own PPV.

This would be the same kind of chaotic, violent, weapons-based fun we’ve come to expect from WWE over the years. This year, there’d be a MITB briefcase at WrestleMania instead of at its own PPV later. There would also be a degree of brand supremacy on the line in this match, as you’d have four wrestlers from RAW and four from SmackDown Live competing for one prize.

There would be multiple stories interwoven into this match. Cesaro and Corbin would be the two trying to finally break through the glass ceiling; Jericho and Orton would be the grizzled veterans trying to reach the top one more time; Sheamus and Ziggler would be the former world champions looking to prove they’ve still got it; Ambrose would be the one seeking redemption after losing his champioship last year; and Reigns would see this as another opportunity for him to crown himself as champion.

Throughout this 25-minute match, there’d be multiple alliances created and destroyed, with everyone trying to weaken each enough for one person to be left with enough strength to climb the ladder. The initial story would suggest that this would be yet another Reigns coronation, with the audience booing him mercilessly (that would also be at play in this match) Reigns would avoid double-teaming anyone and would actually try and do noble things, like break up unfair gang attacks on another wrestler. But the fans would boo him no matter what he did, and he’d gradually become more visibly upset by this.

The end of the match would see Reigns climbing the ladder, but all seven of his opponents would push the ladder down, symbolic of the widespread rejection of his push to the top. Then Cesaro would use this opportunity to uppercut every single person one of his opponents, going absolutely nuts in the process. Finally, after several minutes of drama, Cesaro would reach the top of the ladder and retrieve the briefcase, thus guaranteeing himself a Universal Championship match somewhere in the next year

However, there would also be some focus on Reigns, who’d look completely gobsmacked over how he had lost. This would end up having a major effect on him, as this wouldn’t be the last we’d see of Reigns that night.

Winner: Cesaro
