If Daniel Bryan won the WWE title, what next?

[Prince Bálor]

how many Manias have closed with a heel figure on top? genuine question. not many

True. But what if this one does?

I've been pulling for this scenario to happen for so long and if it does happen, that'd be dope.
And if it doesn't, it'll be a proof it's been just a fantasy-booking all along, and I'll gladly admit you were right and I was wrong.

it would be more interesting than just closing the show with Roman reigning but odds are that is what we get

We'll see if that ends up being the case, bro. Not like I would mind it or anything.

Only three (16, 17, and 27.) And out of those three, only 16 felt like the bad guy had won. Austin got cheered at 17 since they were in Texas, and Rock costing Cena the match at 27 made the fans happy enough to look past the fact that Miz retained his championship (although the less said about Miz headlining Wrestlemania let alone winning, the better.)

If anything, the fact that Wrestlemania is usually known for ending on a happy note would make Rollins cashing in stand out that much more since that type of ending isn't something we see often (especially since it would be the first cash-in at a Mania.) Would be a complete 180 of the happy ending we got last year.

another reason I don't think it happens: Rollins cashin in is likely to be well received by smarks. WWE won't want Reigns being boo'd while Rollins gets a hero reception for cashing in on him

same reason you won't see it the night after mania

They could probably easily avoid that by having him cash in on Bryan instead of Reigns.

They certainly run the risk of it happening with Reigns, but then they're already running the risk of Reigns getting booed against Brock anyway, so they may as well just deal with it and go all the way with it.

Doesn't it expire on Mania or is it 1 year from MITB? so like MITB to MITB?

 

[Prince Bálor]

It's one year long, from MITB to MITB

 

[The GOAT]

Doesn't it expire on Mania or is it 1 year from MITB? so like MITB to MITB?

It's always been a one year contract regardless of when the match is held. So June 29th, 2014-June 29th, 2015.

Bryan won't be involved.
