How Funny Would It Be...

[The GOAT]

On another 'How funny would it be' note... How funny would it be if Reigns got cashed in on at Mania, then regaining the title from Rollins at SummerSlam, only to lose it immediately after due to another MITB cash in? Just a thought I had now, the odds of that happening aren't big, but still...

That springs something else to mind...

Since Rollins' briefcase only expires on June 29th (the date of last year's Money In The Bank PPV) whereas this year's MITB PPV is on June 14th, we could, theoretically, end up with two briefcase holders for a short amount of time. Imagine if Rollins cashed in on Reigns at the conclusion of the MITB PPV this year, only for the person who won the other briefcase earlier in the night to then come down and cash in on Rollins himself moments later. What funny karma that would be since Rollins would have waited all this time to seize the moment to become champion, and then it's snatched away from him just like that. Would be even more karmic if Ambrose was the guy to do it, especially since you would be switching the title between all three Shield members (Reigns, Rollins, and then Ambrose) in one night as well as having Ambrose get some sweet revenge on Seth exactly one year to the month after their rivalry first began with Rollins turning on The Shield and screwing Dean out of winning the briefcase before.

I probably wouldn't want to see that scenario play out personally, but it's a funny possibility to imagine happening.

Oh, I wouldn't mind that scenario either.

If that would set up the former Shield feud for WM 32, then heck yes. I'd be down for something like that happening.

If Vince dies, WWE could do this! But as of now, this seems to logical to happen.

If Vince dies? Don't worry, Vince is gonna outlive us all.

At least when he goes to hell, he can look forward to take a beating from Chris Benoit.

I doubt you could play out the scenario I mentioned all the way to next year's Wrestlemania. Rollins and Reigns would both have legitimate claims to a rematch and with Ambrose as champion, you'd pretty much be forced to book the match to headline Battleground the following month. I'd love to find a way to at least save it for Summerslam, but unless you found a way to put off Rollins and Reigns getting their title shots until then and put Ambrose up against a different opponent at Battleground (which would feel a bit disjointed to say the least), there's no way you could. If Money In The Bank was still a PPV in July this wouldn't be a problem, but...

Besides, if the championship is on the line in a triple-threat match between them, I think a heel walking in with the title feels more appropriate than a babyface since the champ in that scenario would still feel like the most marked man of the three considering his title is the prize that everyone is gunning for, and him going on defense mode by holding up the title and telling the other two that they're not good enough to take it from him seems more apt for a heel to do, ala Rollins.

Well, I guess you are right.
It wouldn't be easy to pull it off that way, which is why I think the ex-Shield match would be more likely to happen at SummerSlam than at WM 32.

I am gonna have to agree. Dean Ambrose would be set, Roman Reigns would have just lost the title, and Seth Rollins is coming out strong after cashing in? Sounds like a perfect scenario, WM32 seems like WWE is stretching it out a bit too far.

You sound like Raiders fans w/ Al Davis (not me, many others).

Then Al dies and we get stuck with his moron son and Reggie McKenzie. Be careful what you wish for. I don't think Vince dying is a pre-requisite for anything. He just needs to give up having final say. He can still be apart of the process but ultimately HHH needs to be the one to give the final thumbs up or thumbs down. People also assume HHH will step in and make the WWE awesome because of his work w/ NXT on a microscale, but let's wait and see. I'm optimistic as well but can it really be expected? Guess we will find out eventually.

I strongly believe that Vince will never give up his position, but if Triple H and Stephanie can take the lead and "drive him out" in a way, that would be perfect. Triple H knows what he is doing.

I sincerely doubt HHH views Vince as you or I do. I'm nearly certain that HHH looks at Vince as a mentor and an asset to have around to learn from.

 

[Aids Johnson]

sounds about as funny as someone saying dick licker. oh wait, you thought that was hilarious too.

The dumb thing is this IS how h match will go until Reigns hulks up. that is what sucks about this match we all know exactly how it plays out. A back and forth physical match would be way better than a 90s hogan match

since when did dick licker lose it's hilarity?

...if Lesnar not only retained, but ended up dominating Reigns in a similar fashion to how badly Cena got dominated at last year's Summerslam?

I mean, I know there's rumors that Brock might retain at Wrestlemania now (and I'll believe that one when I see it), and in no way do I think it would be a good idea to have him rag-doll Reigns around like this even if they were already backpedaling on Reigns' push (I don't think it was a good idea to have Brock rag-doll Cena around the way he did either, but that's another topic), but it would still be surreal seeing Reigns get his ass whooped that bad. Now Heyman could brag about how Lesnar has the most dominating performances for both a Summerslam AND Wrestlemania main event to his name. (Although because it's Wrestlemania and all, it will probably be best if Reigns was allowed to get in a little more offense than Cena did, something closer to how Cena fared at Night Of Champions but with Reigns still losing.) Maybe Reigns could then start some sort of path of redemption where he realizes that as hungry as he was, he wasn't quite ready just yet to take on someone like Brock and now he has to begin his path to the world championship all over again. Also, fans might actually respect Reigns more in a way if he took the fight to Brock and went down swinging like a man since it would humanize him a bit more.

Total hypothetical scenario that has about a 1% chance of happening, but it's an interesting and funny to think about nonetheless.

It ain't gonna happen; Lesnar is gonna lay low for a while and come back as a super Diva, Broche' Lesnar.

Ahhh come on; let him pull Reigns's head off and show it to the crowd while he yells like a banshee.
