Could They End Up Switching Gears For A Third Year In A Row?

[C.M. Shaddix]

Nah. Ambrose will probably face some random like Jericho.

motherfucker let's never give reigns the moment, he will never earn it, people like him who look good never know how to wrestle. Nuff Said McMahon, now go fuck yourself. @CM Punk not you don't worry, you are cool

In 2014, Batista was supposed to win the WWE Championship from Randy Orton at WMXXX. The crowd's undying love and support of Daniel Bryan and their refusal to accept Big Dave in his place led to a massive change of plans that saw Bryan capturing the title instead.

In 2015, Roman Reigns was supposed to defeat Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship at WMXXXI, a victory that was to officially appoint him as the new face of the company. While the match itself wasn't changed unlike the year before, the original planned finish was; Instead of Reigns capturing the gold, it was Seth Rollins via MITB cash-in instead.

That brings us to this year. The main event for Fast Lane has been officially announced as a triple-threat match between Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns... and Dean Ambrose. The winner gets a shot at HHH for the world title at Wrestlemania. Is Ambrose only there to shake things up and eat the pinfall (which would be the easiest assumption), or could they pull a huge swerve on us by having him actually win the match? Ambrose is the most over person on the roster if we're going solely by crowd reactions, and should they get cold feet on Reigns again, he'd be the best person to headline Wrestlemania against HHH. They already had a stand-off at the Rumble, and you have nearly all of the same history and bad blood with him and Hunter as you do with Reigns, so it'd be an easy story to tell.

This is actually a very interesting approach which I wouldn't personally mind whatsoever however I'm not sure WWE have the balls to do it. Nonentheless, it would be a heck of a swerve indeed.

And you know what? Based on this scenario, after Ambrose beats HHH, you could have Roman attack Dean, thus the heel turn which quite frankly makes so much sense. I mean, as much as WWE are pushing Roman, it's obvious that he's getting more booeing rather than cheering so why not just turn him heel and get it over with. But of course, God forbid WWE will do that...

Yeah, Dean pinning Roman and taking his spot would create an excellent rationale for Roman to turn heel on Ambrose shortly down the road. They really should have just pulled the trigger on it at Survivor Series, since the timing and set-up for it would have been perfect, but eh.

Roman as a heel is what's best for business. Just think of all the people he could work programs with: Dean Ambrose, babyface Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Daniel Bryan (if they ever let him back), Randy Orton, maybe even The Undertaker, etc.

As much as we can all dream of this, it can't happen

I'll admit it, I was wrong. I honestly believed Ambrose was the weaker of the three, but he's one of my favorites right now, in spite of mediocre booking. I believe Dean has a real shot at winning this thing. The way they treated Reigns like a child in the rumble, made me think that maybe they aren't so sure about Reigns, like Reigns is beginning to deflate a bit backstage or...his supporters are starting to get discouraged.

Thing is, will the WWE say fuck it, let's put Dean in Roman's spot, or will they say fuck it, let's put the belt on Lesnar and reevaluate after WM. I'm not sure. I think having HHH vs. Lesnar again would be an odd move.

Well Brock is face again since he's feuding with the Wyatts, so it'll work but be odd

No chance they roll with Brock vs HHH again imo. I know it's been three years since they last fought, but they've already been down that road and exhausted that feud enough. They've also already set up an air of tension between Lesnar and the Wyatts anyway, and it'd feel odd to call that off so suddenly. You even had people on Raw chanting Lesnar's name when the Wyatts were in the ring, which tells me that a lot of fans are already looking forward to a larger showdown between the two.

I think they'll roll with Ambrose for sure if they decide to abort Reigns' push. I love Brock, but it's time to make a new star no matter what. Ambrose is currently the holder of the second biggest title in the company, and has come *that* close five times in the past year (at Payback, Elimination Chamber, Money In The Bank, Survivor Series, and just recently at the Rumble) to winning the world championship, so having him finally capture it by defeating a hated foe like HHH would make for an excellent back-up plan for Mania.
