I know You said that You didn't exactly want it to turn into a fantasy booking... but with all of the intangible circumstances like a brand split, call ups, ect... I felt the only way to do it justice was to go all out... maybe a tad bit overzealous on My part but here We go.
Pre-Show
Match #1:
Gauntlet Match to become Number One Contender for The WWE Women's Championship
Natalya v.s. Paige v.s. Charlotte v.s. Becky Lynch v.s. Emma v.s. Asuka v.s. AJ Lee
AJ Lee states She has returned to The Women's Division to reclaim what She never lost... Her status as The "Best Female Competitor in the World" and now that there is some new life and REAL competition in the now Women's Division She plans on resuming Her role and continue dominating every Diva on the roster. She takes one step closer and stays undefeated at Wrestlemania but I think She realizes this is going to be a little harder then She once thought as the competition has grown fierce.
Match #2:
The André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
The Wyatt Family dominates and Bray takes home the win and a future World Title opportunity.
Match #3:
Six-Pack Challenge for The NXT Championship
Apollo Crews(C) v.s. Tommaso Ciampa v.s. Johnny Gargano v.s. Shinsuke Nakamura v.s. Jay Lethal v.s. Chris Hero
That's right I said Chris fucking Hero... He returns to NXT destroying everyone in the path of The NXT Championship until He receives a shot at The Champion Apollo Crews and comes up just a little short at the NXT Takeover before Wrestlemania. Regal informs every that The NXT Championship will be defended for the very first time at Wrestlemania and He decides it must be the biggest Championship Showcase ever in NXT history, So He takes the top three feuds including NXT Champion Crews and Lethal and makes a Six Pack Challenge. Hero wins in a hard fought victory and goes on to feud with Nakamura.
Match #4:
Elimination Chamber Match for The United States Championship
Cody Rhodes(C) v.s. The Miz v.s. Sami Zayn v.s. Dolph Ziggler v.s. Eric Young v.s.Cesaro
Cody Rhodes returns to a version of His "Broken" Persona and becomes known as "The American Nightmare" He goes on a tear retiring His Brother Goldust and injuring several other Superstars including R-Truth. Now in His dominant six month reign He must defend His title in The Chamber against five other hungry competitors. The equally red-hott Cesaro walks away with the title for a huge Wrestlemania moment for The Swiss Superman.
Main Card
Match #1:
Cruiserweight Open for The WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Tyson Kidd(C) v.s. Neville v.s. Austin Aires v.s. Rich Swann v.s. Tyler Breeze v.s. Hideo Itami v.s. Biff Busick v.s. Evan Bourne/ Matt Sydal v.s.Rey Mysterio v.s. Trent Baretta v.s. Matt Cross/ Son of Havok, Fénix v.s. Jack Evans v.s. TJP/ Manik/TJ Perkins v.s. Kenny King v.s. DJ Z/Zema Ion v.s. Andrew Everett v.s.Trevor Lee v.s.Zack Sabre Jr v.s.Prince Puma/Ricochett
That's right Cruiserweight action on the Grandest Stage of Them all. Now that The Cruiserweight Division is back in full force The WWE must Showcase it's incredible talent as much as possible and make it special and important muck like The WCW version and/or TNA OG X-Division. Even though there is a new influx of talent I truly believe Tyson Kidd deserves a huge role in The WWE and by this time should be The Division's long reigning inaugural Champion but after many months of chasing Ricochet rises to the top of the Division and revolutionizes it and takes it to the future. I could see Him having brilliant feuds with everyone stated above and even though it was Ricochet night, I think these Guys are much too talented to contain and many will get Their chance to shine.
Match #2:
Last Man Standing
Randy Orton v.s. Dean Ambrose
After feuding for months Ambrose and Orton go to war in an Last Man Standing Match Orton gets the much deserved well fought victory but more importantly He has defeated 2/3rd's of The Shield at Wrestlemania and has One to go... Ambrose further establishes Himself as The New Hardcore Icon and loses no steam from this contest.
Match #3:
Elimination WWE TagTeam Championship Match
The Uso's v.s. The Lucha Dragons(C) v.s. The Young Buckz(Matt and Nick Jackson) v.s. The Motor City Machine Gunnz(Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley)
With the Brand Split in full effect this gives The WWE The wiggle room They need to bring in The best Tag Teams on the planet sort of a Tag Team Revival as They call it in NXT. No heated rivalries here just the desire to be The very best Tag Team in WWE. It comes down to The Buckz v.s. The Gunnz and ignites a rivalry that will last all year long.
Match #4:
Chicago Street Fight to Qualify for World Heavyweight Championship Match
CM Punk v.s. Kevin Owens(Money in the Bank Title Holder)
CM Punk returns to The WWE after His stint in The UFC claiming His passion has been reignited and He has to be where the best competition in the world is The WWE out comes Kevin Owens and these two brilliantly go back and forth on the mic leading to a huge altercation in The Royal Rumble Match where both Men last to the final four only to eliminate one another. After weeks of build up Shane McMahon informs Them that They will have one more shot at greatness as They will fight one on one in an Chicago Street Fight with the winner receiving a shot at The World Heavyweight Championship later in the evening. After a match that could have easily stolen any show Kevin Owens takee a trip to Dreamville and gets put to sleep as CM Punk qualifies for The Main Event.
Match #5:
Extreme Rules World Tag Team Championship Match
The Revival(Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) v.s. The Ascension(C) v.s. Beer Money Inc.(Bobby Roode and James Storm) v.s. The Briscoe Brotherz(Jay and Mark Briscoe)
Who is the most ruthless Tag Team in the WWE? I think we find out here The Ascension has risen to Tag Team glory but three of the toughest teams in the world stand in Their way... I say The Briscoez come out on top and quickly establishes Themselves as The Tag Team to beat in the entire WWE.
Match #6:
Iron Woman II for The WWE Women's Championship
Bayley v.s. Sasha Banks
After a year long reign and defeating all potential threats Sasha proclaims She has cleared out The Division and might have to seriously think about moving on to the Men's Division just to get some worthy competition... then out comes Bayley making Her long awaited Main Roster debut. Sasha is shocked but sort of has a "Game On" type of look upon Her face. After a month of build up it is decided that They will compete in Iron Woman II. These Ladies put on a incredible match once again but this time Sasha walks away with the win, not only does this set up AJ Lee v.s. Sasha Banks but more importantly Iron Woman IIl.
Match #7:
Faction Supermacy Ladder Match for a Tag Team Championship Match on any show
The New Day v.s. The Bulletproof Bálor Club(Finn Bàlor, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows) v.s. The Colón's(Primo, Epico and Carlito) v.s. American Elite/Team Angle 2.0(Chad Gable, Jason Jordan and Jack Swagger With Manager Kurt Angle)
Kurt makes His Triumphant return but He is met by a new faction by the name of The Cartel consisting of Alberto Del Rio, "Da Enforcer" Shawn Hernandez and The Colón's(Primo, Epico and Carlito) they go back and forth until Del Rio explains times have changed, that He no longer has a spot here in The WWE and that He should go home like the little dog He is before The Cartel ends His life because His career has long pasted it's expiration date. Kurt reluctantly leaves but at the top of the ramp turns around and gives The Cartel a menacing smile letting Them know this is far from over. The very next week Kurt comes out and states "Let's try this again." He talks about how all The American Heroes are gone and how The WWE Universe needs an American role model to look up to, to mold Themselves after, to aspire to become. The Cartel interrupts once again and Del Rio has to ask one very simple question..."Are You Stupid?" He goes on to say how Americans are weak and have no values or morality. He goes on to state He is going to beat some since into Him as His Amigos surround the ring. Kurt gets on the mic and says "Not Today... get 'em Boys!" out runs Jack Swagger and American Alpha(Jordan and Gable) as Kurt rolls to safety They go to war. Just when it seemed that The Cartel had the upper hand Kurt signals to the back as over the PA system a familiar theme blares through "Aint No Stopping My Now" and Shelton Benjamin runs to the ring and clears house. The feud never really dies and continues for most of the year as They trade victories leading into this Faction Supermacy War between all The Factions on RAW. The Bulletproof Bálor Club has been beyond dominant since Their debut and The New Day is still at the top of Their game. I think American Elite gets the win and hands The Bulletproof Bálor Club Their first televised loss which leads to These two teams elevating the Tag Division to it's apex.
Match #8:
Ultimate Submission Match for The WWE Intercontinental Championship
Alberto Del Rio(C) v.s. Shelton Benjamin With Manager Kurt Angle
Benjamin has been on fire since His return and looks to add more gold to His collection. He has also been using an Double Underhook ChokeHold with BodyScissors (Basically Matt Hardy's Ice Pick/White Light Experience) which lead to the leaders of Their respective factions colliding at Wrestlemania in a match reserved for Submission Specialist. I think Benjamin gets the win here which lead into a vicious, wild, entertaining war with an emerging Finn Bàlor.
Match #9:
First Blood Match for The WWE Championship
Roman Reigns(C) v.s. Samoa Joe(Royal Rumble Winner)
It started off as a rivalry of mutual respect and turned in to a full fledged blood feud because Joe seems to have Roman's number. Reigns has repeatedly and sadisticly assaulted Joe several times leading up to Maina, with no remorse He has become every bit The Monster WWE wants Him to be, the bad news is Joe was born a Monster and when These two clash it will be something special. I think Roman needs the win more as Joe has been dominate. Joe will have His chance to shine but tonight belongs to Roman who finally establishes Himself as a "Legit" Bad Ass.
Match #10:
Triple Threat Match to become Number One Contender on Any Show at Anytime
Dave Batista v.s. Bobby Lashley v.s. Brock Lesnar With Manager Paul Heyman
Do I really need to sell three of The most Dominant and intimidating Men ever to compete in wrestling? Paul tells everyone Brock craves more of a challenge stating that The WWE roster is just an appetizer and that He wants... no demands a Main Event Match at Wrestlemania, before He has the chance to continue out comes Batista. He and Brock have a stand off that sends chills down The WWE Universe collective spines. The next week Paul's acting like it's no big deal stating His Client is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion and Dave is an Actor Paul goes on to say one is real and the other is fake so if this is the best The WWE has to offer then His Client Disrespectfully declines. Just when Paul and Brock is about to leave the ring Bobby Lashley appears on the rampway staring a hole through Lesnar. The next week Paul admits His Client is diffinetely intrigued by this test but He needs a little more of an incentive if He is going to compete against two lesser versions of Himself and that is when He wins He gets a guaranteed title shot on any show at any time He chooses. Stephanie, Triple H and Shane agrees and the match is on. I would just love to see this match play out but I think Brock continues to be exactly who He says He is and conqueres two formidable opponents.
Match #11:
Career v.s. Career Match
The Undertaker v.s. John Cena
After a failed attempt at His 17th World Championship, Cena gives a awe-inspiring speech stating He has done it all and it's been an hell of a ride but maybe it's just time for Him to hang up the Ol' Sneaks and call it a career, but right when He is set to leave the ring possibly forever The Undertaker's Music Hits and the arena goes pitch black, when the lights come back on Taker stands in front of an confused Cena as He slits His throat and points to the Wrestlemania sign high above the arena. In the coming weeks Cena seems to be unmotivated by Taker's actions which causes Triple H to become enraged and tell Cena He will compete at Wrestlemania but if He doesn't have any fight left in Him then let's make it official at Wrestlemania You, Taker Career v.s. Career Match! and if Cena loses He can never set foot in a WWE ring or arena again not even for a Hall of Fame induction. Cena now looks properly motivated but can He beat The Deadman at Wrestlemania? I think He can and should, it's time for Taker to enjoy His retirement He has cemented His legacy enough and there is no shame in Him losing to Cena.
Main Event:
Triple Threat Match for The World Heavyweight Championship
AJ Styles v.s. Seth Rollins(C) v.s.CM Punk
Seth and AJ have been stealing shows and trading the title back and forth, AJ is ready to put an end to Their feud for good but little did He expect another person would eject Themselves into the equation... enter CM Punk who just won a qualifying match earlier in the night to give Himself a chance to once again be The "Best in the World" but against two Men who could very well stake that claim Themselves. After a ridiculous match that has every spot We crave and more Seth destroys Punk with The Curb Stomp and goes for the pin an incapacitated AJ can do nothing but look on in horror as His rival attempts to get the win One.Two..Thre... out of nowhere Brock Lesnar breaks up the pin attempt and F-5's the delirious Champion, He then gives the very contract He won moments ago and has ejected Himself into this match much like Seth did two year prior.
Now a Fatal Four Way Brock yanks Punk back to His feet and delivers an debilitating F-5 but before He can go for the pin AJ springs into action with an Phenomenal Forearm smashing right into Lesnar's Jaw. Brock stumbles back a bit only to obliterate AJ with a clothesline. He looks to follow that up with yet another F-5 but AJ breaks free and cracks Lesnar skull open with a Pelé Kick. Lesnar seems fazed for a second as AJ heads to the ring apron looking to springboard once again but Lesnar is able to catch Him and nails an spine tingling F-5. All three of His competitors are down as a now winded Lesnar leans back on the ropes only to see Paul Heyman down and out on the arena floor. As Brock tries to regain His barrings He doesn't notice that a semi-fresh Kevin Owens cashing in His Money in the Bank Briefcase.
Now an Fatal Five Way KO takes full advantage before Lesnar can fully recover KO absolutely destroys Him with an Huge Mat Planting Pop-Up Powerbomb. KO let's out a primal yell and begins to celebrate, only to be blindsided by the very knee that broke John Cena's nose as Rollins takes full advantage of this slim opportunity. The crowd cringes as They replay how KO leveled Heyman, Lesnar is now recovering on the arena floor as He crawls over to check on His fallen Manager. KO is licking His wounds in the corner as Rollins has seemingly taken control, Rollins grabs KO by the hair only to be low blown, He turns around with a look of sheer pain on His face just in time to be kicked in the gut and flattened by an Styles Clash. AJ quickly rolls Him over for the pin which is just as quickly broken up by KO, Styles reacts by rolling KO into The Calf Crusher. KO looks to be in unbearable pain and rises His hand to tap only to be caught by CM Punk who locks in The Anaconda Vice an all twisted up KO is mercifully saved and devastated by an on coming Rollins who hits everyone with His signature Phoenix Splash. After managing to rise to His feet Rollins notices Lesnar is starting to stir He without a single thought propels Himself over the top rope and into an unexpecting Lesnar.
In the ring AJ and Punk have recovered enough to go toe to toe in a striking battle for the ages Punk begins to gain the upper hand and almost knocks AJ's head into the front row with a debilitating Head Kick followed by a spectacular Go to Sleep. Before He can capitalize on His finishing maneuver KO obliterates Him with a finisher of His own The yet to be used Package Piledriver and pins Punk to leave Wrestlemania with The World Heavyweight Championship. Does it matter who He feuds with Kevin is in My opinion the best wrestler in the world.
I pray one day The WWE will wake up and book Their shows to the highest quality because They really do have a unlimited wealth of talented individuals on Their roster that truly deserve to shine... like I said maybe a little to far but fun nevertheless.
You dream, general.
Barring injury, Roman will definitely be champion and defending said championship, most likely against Cena. WWE won't care if a performer comes along so over that it eclipses him (a la Daniel Bryan.) I don't see Finn coming up to the roster any time soon, Joe maybe, but neither would be pushed over Roman.
Undertaker's match with Shane was likely his last, one would hope. I'm not interested in Cena/Taker, this year was their last shot. I know Taker says "this was my last" every year, but he might finally just be out of gas, especially knowing Sting is officially retired, I'm sure he has no interest in losing to Cena.
Guys like Owens, Zayn, and Ziggler will be in the exact same spot next year as this one. Crews is the one wild card difficult to predict, I know little of him but hear he has bucketfuls of talent, time will see.
Seth and Dean are difficult to predict. Seth out-did Roman last year because Roman under-performed so ridiculously and was jeered so badly, they had no choice. This year was not much different but with so many injuries, Vince felt it justified pushing Reigns DESPITE fan reaction, almost like sticking it to the audience. "See!? All your favorites are injured, REIGNS ISN'T, rabble, rabble, rabble!" Seth will float around the upper mid card and main event, likely jobbing to Reigns as a cowardly heel and get a throw-away match next year.
Dean will be lucky to stay in the mid-card following his anti-climatic match and performance with Brock. I am not going to make excuses for Dean, WWE pushes him and he doesn't stand out. Punk/Lesnar was great most assuredly because Punk was known as a genius in putting a match together, Dean obviously doesn't know how to do the same, I'm convinced he deserves to be no higher than the mid card now.
The Dudleyz will likely retire by next year, with a Hall of Fame induction. Spring cleaning will come and a lot of names will be gone; I'm looking at you, Swagger. Ryback just... needs to go away, he's also proven he won't ever draw a dime. I don't know how Primo and the other guy are still employed either, WWE has let go of more talented workers (Galloway.)
The tag title scene will likely still involve New Day, and then Enzo/Cass, and American Alpha if they get called up or Lucha Dragons. I don't see the Vaudivillains panning out, they'll likely flop like The Ascension. Some NXT acts don't translate well on the main roster (see Tyler Breeze.)
It's all too early to predict, and too much BS that will come with the Reigns title reign to even try. I can dream all I want about Joe/Lesnar, Nakamura/Rollins and Balor/Styles, but Vince come Wrestlemania time will only be brainstorming who to match Reigns with to get him over even more.
