"As most of you know by now, WWE had planned for Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler for WrestleMania. Those plans are out and Bryan will be inserted into the main event of WrestleMania. Vince McMahon was against doing a three way just two weeks ago but he changed his mind. The feeling at the time was that Vince felt that since they did the three-way last year that they didn’t want to go to the well again. Despite what some believe, Vince does listen to crowd reactions and the crowd reaction at the Royal Rumble made him rethink everything. Vince held a meeting and made the decision to make the match a three-way.

Right now the plan for WrestleMania 31 is for Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar"

Note: Apparently this site gets its information from the Wrestling Observer Radio, so it would seem it's Meltzer making this claim.

Thoughts?

Looking good for Ziggler. Another tag match or Battle Royal.

Another triple threat match? How boring. Don't get me wrong. I love Bryan to death but come on the guy had his golden opportunity last year.

Lame, what's the point? If you aren't going to push Roman as a top face, and he obviously can't wain this match as a face with Bryan in it, neither could he win the rumble, why bother? Should of just made it Lesnar vs Bryan, or Reigns vs Lesnar. Vince needs to be introduced to a certain ideology.

The only thing I can think of for why they may be deciding to go with this is they backed themselves into a corner by attempting to push for Reigns to be the guy who faces Lesnar and wins at WrestleMania, and were even promoting him highly before the Rumble even came around. Once they saw the fierce backlash they got from the Rumble, they maybe realized they should have gone a different route and did Bryan vs Lesnar and now they're doing this triple threat to satisfy the fans, but also because they already went too far with Reigns by having him win the Rumble and promoting him so highly. They know things are going to go south if it's just Reigns vs Brock and they believe they passed the point of no return with Reigns to do Bryan vs Brock.

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO DAMN HAPPY.

Still stupid. They should of known what reaction was coming when they allowed Bryan to return. WWE has no excuse, this already happened last year.

Hopefully Reigns pins D-Bry clean

FINALLY. REIGNS CAN GET THE FUCK OUTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I hate it. Any smart booker wouldve booked Brock vs Bryan from jumpstreet. If Bryan was ready to return he was ready to face Brock Lesnar at mania, 1 on 1, and have that be the end of that. Fuck this shit, as soon as Reigns won the rumble my anticipation died with it. The David vs. Goliah story was ruined. Vince was right the first time around (not about WHO put in the match but in regards to the reaction to the reaction of the rumble match) Might as well stand by your bullshit. This really is a pointless repeat of what happened last time. Its the same old shit, it's no better than Cena vs. Rock II. It's stale, its a shitty idea, its a trainwreck and its forced.

Id honestly rather they just get Reigns vs Brock out of the way so Seth can cash in and leave everyone remotely satisfied / interested. I dont care how good the match is, I don't care how much Daniel Bryan over-works while Reigns takes another nap in this main event like he did in the rumble, meanwhile dumbasses say "oh yeah reigns had a good match!" even though he was carried just like Cena was carried in the royal rumble triple threat.

 The fact is Roman Reigns has still yet to prove he can have even a 3.5 star 1 on 1 match, and he probably never will. And him winning the rumble fucked up everything. Even if Bryan beats Reigns cleanly at Fast Lane, and actually gets the 1 on 1 vs Lesnar, where does Reigns go from there? What does Rock showing up / the Bloodlines storyline amount to? Not to mention it complicates the fuck out of DBry's wrestlemania journey. Oh Bryan couldn't last 10 minutes and lost the rumble like a bitch but suddenly I'm supposed to remotely find him believable against Brock? Because he beat Roman Reigns who won the rumble via assistance? Even in kayfabe, ignoring the physical mismatch, it's not believable. The booking is not believable. It's the usual stupid stop and start bullshit. In the back of their minds WWE knew how to book this shit but they wanted to be stubborn. Unfortunately too many retards are gonna buy the network for mania just because their boy's in the main event and ignore the absolutely atrocious booking that took place to get there. Not me.

I personally don't like Reigns not because he doesn't deserve the main event spot but because he's being a total dick to WWE fans. In my opinion, triple way at WM is a terrible idea. A superstar would look much stronger if they beat Brock 1 vs 1.

Truer words on this thread has never been spoken. Agreed 100 percent.

Yeah thats another thing, how do they know Brock even sticks around to retain? They don't, in fact realistically, someone taking the title off of Brock is guaranteed. So now the 1 to beat the 1 in 21-1 doesn't even get to do it cleanly, 1 on 1, in a proper put over to solidify who becomes the next face of the company in a picture perfect fashion. Instead its some thrown together last second triple threat match. My god this went from a trainwreck to a planewreck.

I would have preferred a 1v1 match with Bryan-Lesnar, but this is way better than Reigns-Lesnar. I won't get greedy - WWE can have their compromise... so long as Bryan wins.
