I could get on board with this, great premis, my only issue is that we know its all going to lead to Roman winning at Mania and just cant get on board with that as things are.
...If I was fantasy booking this, there's 2 ways of going about it.
#1 as in the other thread is just to have Roman win the title at Fireballs. Do it now, please.
But if we're thinking longnterm, I'd go ahead and have Brock beat Finn Balor, Brock beat Braun Strowman, Brock beat Wyatt at this show, then he'd beat Seth Rollins at Survivor Series... Then at the Rumble everyone will be so down. And hating Lesnar's overbooked repetitive matches again. And furious at another Roman Reigns push. And expecting such a disaster that [HASHTAG]#CanceltheWWENetwork[/HASHTAG] is trending BEFORE the show, expecting the same result as 2015 before....... Samoa Joe pins Brock Lesnar and wins the championship, AJ Styles wins the Royal Rumble and everyone's ecstatic for Wrestlemania season coming out of the PPV. Just throw a really big swerve to help us fans out.
I just don't see how you can do this without turning Joe face, though.... Maybe the swerve is best with Finn Balor slaying the Beast instead. Who knows?
