Don't see why we can't just have another.

- Triple H (c) vs. Roman Reigns - WWE World Heavyweight Championship

- The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar

- Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker - 3 Stages of Hell

- Charlotte (c) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks vs. Paige - Divas Championship

- Kevin Owens (c) vs. Sami Zayn - Intercontinental Championship

- Daniel Bryan vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

- The Balor Club (Finn Balor, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows) vs. The League of Nations (Sheamus, Rusev and Wade Barrett) w/ Alberto Del Rio

- Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Dean Ambrose - United States Championship

- Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles

That thread is probably ancient, not to mention - there are some exciting new toys coming to WWE. So it makes sense to make a new one. Not to mention all the injuries, liklihood of no Cena, etc. I'll post mine in a bit. Just wanted to point out how this thread can be relevant, even if there was an older one.

Rikishi vs Roman Reigns - Loser is Kicked out of the Family Match (Special Guest Referee: The Rock)

- Triple H (c) w/ Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon Vs Roman Reigns w/ Shane McMahon and The Rock- WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match (No Holds Barred)

- Dean Ambrose (c) Vs Chris Jericho - WWE Intercontinental Championship Match (Ladder Match)

- Charlotte (c)  Vs Becky Lynch Vs Sasha Banks - (WWE Divas Championship Match)

- Brock Lesnar Vs Kevin Owens

- Bray Wyatt Vs The Undertaker (If Wyatt Wins, The Undertaker Retires)

- The New Day Vs The Balor Club (Elimination Match)

- Kalisto (c) Vs AJ Styles - WWE United States Championship Match

- The League of Nations (Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Rusev) Vs The Dudleyz and RVD (Elimination Tables Match) This could possibly be a Pre-Show match

And the only reason I said Kalisto Vs AJ is because 
1) Can someone please take the title off Del Rio for christ sakes?
2) They're building him up to be the next "Rey Mysterio"
and 3) I think it would be one hell of a match

We actually don't. Dream and realistic are two entirely different things.

I just hope they clear Bryan so he can face Nakamura

AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns - WWE World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat match

Lesnar (c) vs Styles. - WWE lacks main event babyfaces who would be universally supported by a Wrestlemania crowd outside of Lesnar and Taker. WWE has wanted Styles for year; absolutely fucking years and probably asked him on an annual basis, they won't waste him, he'll be pushed the most. Have Lesnar win the Rumble eliminating Styles, have Styles win a contendership against Reigns at Fastlane (legit think this could be amazing an amazing match).

Reigns vs Triple H - This is a great story to tell. I like it, it's the employee vs boss storyline that simply works. It can be brutal, it can be punishing, it wouldn't be popular by fans as the main story of the Road to Wrestlemania and despised by the crowd that shows up. Reigns has improved leaps and bounds since 31 but he's still not there and WWE showed last year they're not willing to take risks.

Nakamura vs Daniel Bryan OR Chris Jericho. If doctors clear Daniel Bryan then there's no reason for them not to book it. Bryan has wanted it, he's suggested it to Vince, it makes his job easier deciding what to do with Nakamura. Fans will love it, everybody wins. HOWEVER, if he doesn't, I don't think there's a better opponent than Jericho. He doesn't care about losing the match, he loses nothing by taking the loss, he's experienced enough to allow Nakamura work his style at his absolute best. Furthermore, if there's anyone who can make a storyline where one person does all the talking it's him. ON TOP OF THAT, Nakamura's grandeur can easily be matched by Jericho. All round, a very enjoyable match. Both would be absolutely epic.

Balor Club vs League of Nations - Del Rio, Sheamus, Rusev and Barrett need something to do; their stable absolutely sucks and surely can't go past Wrestlemania. There isn't enough for them to do individually on the show, they need to be in a tag match. No better way than having Balor, Anderson and Gallows put an end to this cringe-worthy stable. I hope there's another twist to this and a fourth Bullet Club member leaves (Tama Tonga PLEASE c:) so it can be an eight man tag match but Barrett would be the man to drop out. 

I don't really care about anything else to make a comment. I would like to add something like Samoa Joe vs Apollo Crews for the NXT title but Takeover: Dallas is two nights before. IMO that might put a dent in the Balor Club vs League of Nations idea but I would hope Balor loses the title on a taping. The hype of Balor on the main roster is more important than having an epic Wrestlemania moment wasted.

Oh and Summerslam? Styles vs Balor, rest of Balor Club turn on Balor and align themselves with Styles. FUCKING. BOOM. RATINGS. GENIUS. HIRE ME NOW PLS VINCE.

- Triple H (c) w/Stephanie and Vince McMahon vs Roman Reigns - WWE World Heavyweight Championship
- AJ Styles vs The Rock
- Brock Lesnar vs Kevin Owens - No Holds Barred Match
- Charlotte (c) vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley vs Becky Lynch - Divas Championship
- New Day (c) vs The Usos vs Balor Club  (Luke/Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) vs LoN (Rusev and Sheamus) Fatal Four Way TLC Match - Tag Team Championship
- The Undertaker vs Bray Wyatt - Casket Match
- Nakamura vs Dean Ambrose (c) - IC Championship
- Alberto Del Rio (c) vs Cesaro vs Chris Jericho
- Pre Show:Andre Memorial Battle Royal - Kalisto or Heath Slater or Sami Zayn eventually wins the match/ Or have an NXT Presence on the card having Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor again with Samoa Joe going over.

Segments we may see (that I can currently think of on top of my head)
- Before the IC Championship match they show Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella sitting front row and some interviewer basically asks Daniel Bryan if he will ever be wrestling inside a WWE ring, Bryan says yes and that he will make his return the night after WM  and he challenges the winner of the IC Championship match since he never lost the belt in the first place.
- John Cena being featured in some way probably get his thoughts on The Rock vs AJ Styles match and probably tease a possible match between him and Styles and probably ask him if he will ever regain the U.S Championship
- Returns we will see are Cesaro, Jericho, Zayn and Daniel Bryan
- Seth Rollins gets a segment on his thoughts on the title situation between Reigns and Triple H (this pretty much dictates whether or not Rollins will return as a heel or a face, hopefully Triple H retains so we can have Rollins vs Triple H whenever Rollins returns)

Aside from the NXT title match and Sami Zayn in an IC bout, I can see this happening tbh

Okay, I had to bash my head in with a tire iron to get into the WWE rational mid set, but I think this is a decent, realistic, and potentially best card they could pull off without deviating from their self destructive ways.

WWE Title Bout-
Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns (c).
Rationale: Authority needs to throw the book at Reigns big time.  Triple H shouldn't do it because he's already been made to look vulnerable at the hands of Reigns and would probably want a receipt, which would help develope this Austin persona they're going with as a sympathetic badass, but still leaves us high and dry with the belt.
So instead they enlist the only man that's ever made Reigns bleed or look vulnerable and have the uninterupted rematch.

=Pre-Main Event Piss Break=
League of Nations vs Social Outcasts
Rationale: Fed up with their incompitence, and even more agitated by Social Outcasts attention, the Authority put the League against the group of misfit toys to prove themselves and essentially give the show a 7th inning stretch before the big bouts.

the *wink wink* main event
Triple H vs The Rock
Rationale: They teased it, might as well get it out of the way.  It's two big marquee names on a card that, outside of Lesnar, doesn't hold much WWE star power.


Chris Jericho vs AJ Styles
Rationale going into it?: Okay, I'll be the first to say the potential of this happening is slim to none,but rumors right now are that AJ and Nakamura aren't even hitting NXT due to how lucrative their contracts are.
I say let Styles, Anderson, and Gallows debut at rumble hopping the barrier and tossing Reigns (since they aren't officially in the rumble, let Reigns keep the belt.  The strap doesn't matter).  In following weeks have the TAFKA Bullet Club make it aboundantly clear that they aren't here to do the authority's bidding, they're not here to please anyone,they're here to 'take over'.
It can be milked that Triple H brought them in to neutralize the Reigns threat, and the once Bullet Club, now going nameless for the time to add that Outsider's mystique, decided to go with their own agenda.  Throw them League of Nations because it's not working,throw them New Day because it wont hurt them.  Build them up as a serious invading threat of two big dudes and a mastermind small guy.
My initial plan was to use this as a vehicle to bring up Balor to feud or even swerve join his former gaijin cronies, but there's not enough time to introduce him as a serious threat, so maybe later down the line.  Now, bring Bullet Club in with a rocket on their backs and give the purist fans a match that will make them salivate while the Universe finds out the greatness of Styles. Besides, Jericho's the company savior, let'em save AJ's chances with a Wrestlemania victory over him.


=IC Title Bout=
Nakamura vs Ambrose (c)
Rationale: The belt needs it, and Ambrose has a track record of bogging down a midcard strap, whereas Nakamura pretty much made the IWGP IC title. No, it's not Bryan vs Nakamura, but that's somewhat out of reach.
Let these two tear it up with a knock down, drag out, stiff knees and stiffer lariate's back and forth until the gold means something again.

=Diva's Match=
Becky Lynch vs Charlotte (c)
Rationale: Becky's about the only likable diva on the main roster that we're supposed to like, and since Sasha's toiling in a BAD imitation of gender swap New Day, it's out of reach at the moment.  I'd say go the tried and true Bayley vs Sasha, but again, as over as NXT is, they'd feel like justifying Bayley's existence, and we haven't got time for that.

=Tag Team Title Match=
Doc and Machine Gun vs New Day (c)
Rationale: Two cool heel tag teams in a dwindling division.  Even Viktor's hurt.  

Andre Battle Royal: Winner-Kevin Owens

I’ll be updating this as I go, because this is going to probably be long af. I’ll leave the next match without the Storyline for the lulz.
 
I’ll be adding a storyline to each match to give contest to why I believe SHOULD happen. If it’s not realistic, I’m not too fussed, but with the WWE’s recent track record, who wants a realistic WWE Card anyway. These storylines will start from the Royal Rumble onwards.
 
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
AJ Styles (c) w/ Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson vs Brock Lesnar
 
If there’s anyone that could win the WWE Title in their debut and immediately slot into the place of a Top Babyface which the people are going to get behind without the need to forcefully and repeatedly attempt to try to do so, it’s AJ Styles. There’s been talk that AJ Styles is going to make his debut with the company in the Royal Rumble, so that’s what I’m going to run with. The Royal Rumble has dwindled down to the final two participants: Roman Reigns and AJ Styles – AJ Styles looks like he’s going to have the greatest debut in the history of the company and eliminate Roman Reigns to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but Roman Reigns counters the elimination attempt and hits Styles with the Superman Punch, and the two are down. Suddenly all we hear is… “TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!!!” and Triple H makes his return to cost Roman Reigns the WWE World Championship, and make out that he’s brought in AJ Styles, even playing into the fact that some people consider him the Best Wrestler on the Planet to be HIS champion. HHH will extend his hand to seal the deal, to which AJ Styles will shake his hand and smile. HHH raises Styles hand… only for Styles to drop HHH with a shot to the head with the title. The League Of Nations charged down the ramp, but AJ Styles is suddenly sided by Karl Anderson and Doc Gallow who both hold Steel Chairs. The League Of Nations watch from the ramp and AJ Styles lifts up HHH and drops him with the Styles Clash, leaving the last image of the Royal Rumble with the Styles with the World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows standing in the ring as The League Of Nations watch from the ramp, Roman Reigns recovers sitting outside against the barricade and HHH unconscious on the canvas.
 
The next night the show will enter with The Authority in the ring and HHH is absolutely livid because now, Roman Reigns into the only threat that he needs to deal with, because now there’s “Outsiders” with the crown jewel of the company. Roman Reigns comes out, obviously unhappy about the fact that he was screwed out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and says that while the World Championship is his life, he needs to eradicate a problem that needs to go away (being HHH). As the two are about to come to blows, Styles, Anderson and Gallows come out and reveal that their arrival serves only one purpose – “To Take Over” and turn this business in what is should be, rather than what they want it to be. HHH in an attempt to kill two birds with one stone will make the Main Event: AJ Styles (c) vs Roman Reigns – WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line… with HHH as the Special Guest referee, and if Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows interfere at any point throughout the match, the three will be fired. During the Main Event as the two men are down, HHH will throw the match out by grabbing a sledgehammer and taking the two men out. Suddenly Sheamus will make his way out with The League Of Nations and pull out the same line he had with Rollins that “There’s Always A Plan B” and announce that there’s going to be an unannounced Main Event and that AJ Styles’ night is far from over, announcing that he’ll be defending the WWE Title against Sheamus NOW – but before the match starts Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows make the save… the League Of Nations begin to get the upperhand due to the numbers advantage, but suddenly Finn Balor makes the save and clears the ring, siding with Styles, Anderson and Gallows. So now the group have the World Championship and NXT Title.
 
The weeks go by leading into Fastlane where HHH forced AJ Styles to defend the WWE Title against Sheamus in a Steel Cage, which stops Anderson, Gallows and Balor from saving Styles when Sheamus is about to win the title, and HHH also forcing Finn Balor to defend the NXT Title against Baron Corbin, which would be the first time the NXT Title has been defended on a WWE PPV. Finn Balor retains the NXT Championship after a Bloody Sunday, and AJ Styles retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by leaping off the top of the cage to the outside onto the League of Nations as they attempt to stop him from climbing down. The next night HHH is in the ring and is far from happy about AJ Styles retaining the WWE Championship and Roman Reigns win (which I’ll explain in the next match.) and announce that for the first time since becoming the COO, he’s forced to take drastic measures and is bringing in the perfect weapon to take the championship away from AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 32… but they’re going to find out who it is at the end of the night and announces that the Main Event of Raw is going to the The Balor Club vs The League Of Nations. The Balor Club win and as they celebrate… Brock Lesnar’s theme hits and out he comes with Paul Heyman. Lesnar jumps up onto the apron and enters the ring as The Balor Club stand their ground, but rather than things breaking down, the final image of that Raw is Lesnar standing against The Balor Club as AJ Styles raises the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
 
The next week on Raw, HHH makes the match official and AJ Styles will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Brock Lesnar… and the match will be No Holds Barred because, in HHH words, “so he can’t weasel his way away from The Beast.” At Wrestlemania AJ Styles SUCCESSFULLY defends the WWE World Heavyweight Championship with a Styles Clash off of middle rope through two opened chairs. If there’s any way to completely legitimise The Bullet/Balor Club, and AJ Styles as both a Champion and a Top Babyface, going over Lesnar is the best way to do it. You can build Styles up to where he holds the WWE World Heavyweight Championship until Summerslam where he can lose it to: Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan (if he’s back), Dolph Ziggler (idgaf what you guys say, Heel Ziggler is money) etc etc.
 
WINNER: AJ STYLES
 
Career vs Control.
Roman Reigns vs Triple H
 
Okay, so let’s recap what happened between Royal Rumble and Fast Lane between both HHH and Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns was about to successfully retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Royal Rumble, only for HHH to screw him and “help” AJ Styles win the championship, and the next night of RAW, AJ Styles was forced to defend his newly won Championship against Roman Reigns, but as the match breaks down, HHH hits both men with a Sledgehammer. The next week on RAW Roman Reigns calls out HHH so they can finish this once and for all, but Stephanie McMahon comes out and says that HHH isn’t going to be here tonight due to company business, but he’s left something for Roman Reigns to do while he’s gone… a Four on One Gauntlet match against the League of Nations and if as a little more incentive for Reigns to win, gives the stipulation that if he does, he’ll be added to the main event of Fastlane for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns makes his way through Barrett, Rusev and Del Rio, but falls short after being hit by two Brogue Kicks and being pinned – after the match it’s revealed that HHH was in the arena the whole time and that this was a plan for another set up from HHH. HHH pedigrees Roman Reigns and buries his knee into the back of the neck of Reigns as he’s handed a microphone. HHH laughs and says… “You want to finish this Roman? You want to make your FAMILY proud… I’ll give you the chance at Wrestlemania. But… in order for that to happen you must win at Fastlane – against The League of Nations! And Roman… I’ll be the referee.”
 
Fastlane comes along and Roman Reigns is forced to climb up the biggest hill of his career. The match starts out with Roman Reigns facing Barrett, Rusev and Del Rio in a Handicap match where the members of The League Of Nations are forced to tag in and out, but as Roman Reigns begins to gain the upper hand over Barrett, the other two intervene, and HHH being HHH does nothing about it. Eventually Barrett will lift Reigns up and hold him as Rusev attempts to his that Running Superkick, Reigns will get out of the way and Barrett will get hit. Del Rio will get hit by a Superman Punch and Rusev with a Spear. Reigns goes for the cover, but HHH doesn’t count, instead doing the DX “Suck It!” Reigns shoots to his feet and drives HHH into the corner and begins to unload, but is hit from behind by Del Rio. HHH gets fired up and rips off his referee shirt and goes to pedigree Reigns, but Reigns fights away and hits HHH with a spear. Reigns fights away The League of Nations and hits Barrett with a spear. Reigns covers Barrett, grabs the arm of the out HHH and counts the pin, winning the match – the match at Wrestlemania is official: Roman Reigns vs Triple H. Reigns celebrates as HHH recovers on the outside, realising that his plan backfired and he’s going to be forced to face Reigns at Wrestlemania.
 
The next night on Raw, Reigns is out in front of the crowd and talks about the things that The Authority have put him through, not only through the last few months, but even while apart of The Shield. He’ll talk about how one of his best friends, a man he looked upon as a brother, stabbed him in the back because of the likes of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon and at Wrestlemania, Roman Reigns is going to put an end to it all, and when he does, he’s putting his sights directly on the Championship he never rightfully lost. HHH will come out and say that Reigns doesn’t really understand what he’s in for at Wrestlemania – that Reigns believes that this is nothing more than a fairytale; Reigns believes that he’s going to conquer the unstoppable monster and be the hero of this company. Triple H will laugh before saying “Not all fairytale’s have a happy ending, Roman”. HHH will say that if Roman doesn’t win at Wrestlemania that his career is over – there isn’t going to be a second, a third or fourth chance. At Wrestlemania the Roman Empire either Rises or Crumbles. Reigns will run his fingers through his hair before saying “If I don’t win at Wrestlemania, I don’t have career…” Reigns will begin to talk about how this is going to be the end of a war that started with HHH and Daniel Bryan – the moment that HHH began to lead this company into the hole that it’s in now, and if HHH is so confident in himself, why doesn’t he put it all on the line. If Reigns loses, he’ll leave the WWE and never return again… but if Reigns wins, HHH is ousted from power and The Authority is no more. HHH firstly declines, until Reigns starts to question his manhood and brings up what his children must think of him (something that has always been an incredibility touchy subject for both HHH and Stephanie) and HHH agrees.
 
Wrestlemania comes and this match goes on before the Main Event, and in an segment before the match, HHH tells Stephanie to stay out of it and drop any plans that she has of getting involved, or having someone come out, because if there’s going to be someone that puts the final nail into the coffin of Roman Reigns career, it’s going to be HHH alone. The match starts at the two immediately begin to trade blow – if there’s one thing about this match, it CAN’T be a slow pace until they’ve absolutely killed each other. With everything these two have put each other through, this match should be what Orton and HHH SHOULD have been; an all-out war where the two are trying to knock each-others teeth down their throat. The match will come down to where both men have hit their best move (being the Spear and Pedigree) on each other but neither has been able to keep the other down. This leads the HHH, who’s in control, to attempt to his a Super Pedigree for the first time in his career, but obviously Reigns will counter, hit the Superman Punch and a Spear for the win, ousting HHH and The Authority from power. While I’ve seen a lot of you guys predicting this match to be for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it really doesn’t need it. I understand that this is meant to be a realistic card and I’m probably going to bend the rules, but HHH and Roman Reigns has enough history and build up to where the WWE World Heavyweight Championship being on the line is nothing but useless when you can build another Main Event that is going to sell the PPV to more people. Also, when The Authority is ousted from power, it needs to happen at the biggest show of the year, not Summerslam, Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble. The Authority has run its course and has been repetitive for almost a year. If they do it at Mania, they’re probably not going to be a bigger boost for Reigns than they would if they did in later.
 
WINNER: ROMAN REIGNS
 
Grudge Match
Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn
 
This match stems back to that promo Sami Zayn gave after his rematch with Kevin Owens after losing the NXT Championship where Sami Zayn vowed to get Payback for what Owens did to him. We’re in the Royal Rumble match (neither Roman Reigns or AJ Styles have entered the match) and Kevin Owens has cleared the ring of the lesser names in the Rumble to be the last man standing in the ring and is awaiting the next entrant…
 
TEN… NINE… EIGHT… SEVEN… SIX… FIVE… FOUR… THREE… TWO… ONE…
 
BUZZ!!
 
Sami Zayn. While I understand that Sami Zayn made his return to NXT on a few weeks ago, it doesn’t mean that Sami Zayn isn’t going to be able to do both. Zayn can put over Baron Corbin on his way out and still immediately look strong in his Main Roster return in the Rumble. Owens flips his shit because he’s forced to face Sami Zayn – Owens gains the upperhand, but Sami Zayn eventually eliminates both himself and Kevin Owens; a lot like when Mick Foley eliminated both Randy Orton and himself in the 2004 Royal Rumble. The two continue fighting after they’ve been eliminated and eventually referee and backstage staff break them up. See, the main idea for this storyline is that the two have such a storied past that this one practically writes itself. If I had some control with the company, I’d contract places like Ring of Honor to use images and videos of their blood feud over that culminated at Final Battle; I mean, the exposure for Ring of Honor helps the company and it adds buckets of fuel to the fire which is the feud. Anyway, the next night on RAW, we’ll see Kevin Owens blindsided by Sami Zayn and once again they’ll brawl until security, referees and backstage officials are able to break them apart. The next week on RAW, Kevin Owens will call Sami Zayn out and without hesitation, Sami Zayn makes his way out to the ring. Owens will brag about the things that he has done throughout the short span of his career in WWE, and will even throw a shot about how quickly Owens rose to ‘Superstardom’, while Sami Zayn has wallowed away on NXT for years – before bringing in the parts of their feud within Ring of Honor, saying that Sami Zayn has always been under him. That’s why it was so easy for Owens to take the NXT Title away from Sami in his 2^nd month in the company – he knows how Sami Zayn thinks, how he moves; he knows Sami Zayn better than Sami Zayn knows himself.
 
Sami Zayn will pull out his El Generico mask from his pocket before beginning talk about how throughout the entire time that he was out with the shoulder injury, there was only one thing that he could think about. He’ll say that winning the NXT Championship was the greatest moment of his career and after everything that the two of them had been through, he thought that they could have put it all behind them because they had BOTH finally made it. But… he was wrong, and in an instant Kevin Owens ripped everything away. While Sami Zayn was sitting on the shelf, Kevin Owens was defeating John Cena in his debut; Kevin Owens was winning the Intercontinental Championship – Kevin Owens was doing everything that Sami Zayn had fought YEARS for. Sami Zayn will say that the love that Sami has for both this business in the fans in attendance is undying, but his career can’t move on until he overcomes the biggest obstacle that has ever stood in his way: Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens will reply with; and like every time before, Sami, I’m going to knock you down and take you back out… but this time, when I’ve finished, you’re not coming back. When he’s finished there’s not going to be a Sami Zayn – there’s not going to be an El Generico… there’s going to be nothing left. Sami will laugh and offer Owens the opportunity to place his money where his mouth is and offers a match at Fastlane between to the, which Kevin Owens will arrogantly accept.
 
Fastlane rolls around and we’re given everything that we expect from these two, and we begin to think that we’re going to get the end of a feud that has ranged from the independent circuit to the biggest stage in the world. The match begins to wind down and Sami Zayn begins to look to start putting Kevin Owens away; Sami Zayn will attempt to his the Helluva Kick, only for Kevin Owens to move out of the way before kicking Sami Zayn in the groin and getting himself disqualified – for the first time, showing that Kevin Owens isn’t walking away to fight another way, but instead, showing that Kevin Owens has begun to doubt if he can still beat Sami Zayn. Kevin Owens will stand over Sami Zayn before lifting him up and hitting him with a Pop Up Powerbomb. Kevin Owens will begin to make his leave, but as he does, Sami Zayn slowly begins to get back to his feet – prompting Kevin Owens to re-enter the ring and hit another, but this time Sami Zayn reverses and after a short sequence, Sami Zayn hits the Helluva Kick knocking Kevin Owens down and out. The ending image is Sami Zayn standing over the downed Kevin Owens as his theme hits and the fans chant “OLE!”. The ending their encounter of Kevin Owens is to prove to Kevin that Sami Zayn on a completely new level, compared to what he was on the last time that the two faced and it gives Sami Zayn is ton of legitimacy going into Wrestlemania for what would obviously be their Fastlane rematch.
 
The next night on RAW, just after the first hour mark of the show, Sami Zayn will come and out talk about what happened at Fastlane, and say that, while Kevin Owens may have “weaselled” his way out of their match, what he did of Kevin Owens felt better than anything else in his career – but before Sami Zayn can delve too much deeper into it, he’s interrupted by a ropable Kevin Owens. Kevin Owens will say that all of this isn’t going to end like that. This isn’t going to end with Kevin Owens on his back as Sami Zayn stands triumphant, and that they’re going to end this. Sami Zayn will say that he’s more than willing to end it tonight, but Kevin Owens, being a self-professed “Prize Fighter” says that he’s going to take Sami Zayn’s career… at Wrestlemania. Owens will extend his hand and without saying a word, Sami Zayn will shake it making the match at Mania official. The weeks leading into Mania neither Zayn or Owens will compete in any type of match against each other, whether it be in some Tag Team match, Triple Threat – nothing, but with each week that goes by, Owens finds a way to attack Sami Zayn and knock him down with a Pop Up Powerbomb – whether it be in the Ring or backstage, just doing anything he can to break Sami Zayn going into Wrestlemania.
 
Wrestlemania finally arrives and this is the match that will open the event, something that’s DEFINITELY going to get the crowd into the biggest show of the year and start the show off on an EXTREMELY high note. This match would be a lot of what Cena vs Owens was a Elimination Chamber – some may call it a high spot fest, with a fuck ton of near falls, but in a feud like that it really build the point that neither man is going to stay down while they still have something left in the tank. The match breaks down as Sami Zayn begins to mount a lot of offense, a lot like he did at Fastlane and looks to be about to put Owens away, but Owens will cut him off with a wicked forearm/Superkick, which basically knocks Sami Zayn senseless. Owens will do his usually shtick with the crowd as he stands over Sami Zayn, before lifting Sami Zayn up and connecting with a Pop Up Powerbomb. ONE! TWO! Sami Zayn kicks out. Owens loses it, lifting Zayn back up and hitting another Pop Up Powerbomb. ONE! TWO! THRE- Sami Zayn kicks out again! Owens loses it, mounts Zayn and begins to fire away at the head of Zayn; Owens pick up Zayn, ANOTHER Pop Up Powerbomb! But this time Sami Zayn counters, jumping over the head of Owens, hitting the Half and Half Suplex, TWO Helluva Kicks… but doesn’t cover because Owens doesn’t call down to the canvas, instead holding onto the top rope to keep his footing. Sami Zayn lift Owens up onto the top rope, lifts him high into the air. BRAINBUSTAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ONE! TWO! THREE! Sami Zayn wins. Fitting end to their story; neither man is hurt by the loss, and Sami Zayn is built as a legitimate Upper Midcarder.
 
WINNNER: Sami Zayn

If there’s anyone that could win the WWE Title in their debut and immediately slot into the place of a Top Babyface which the people are going to get behind without the need to forcefully and repeatedly attempt to try to do so, it’s AJ Styles. There’s been talk that AJ Styles is going to make his debut with the company in the Royal Rumble, so that’s what I’m going to run with. The Royal Rumble has dwindled down to the final two participants: Roman Reigns and AJ Styles – AJ Styles looks like he’s going to have the greatest debut in the history of the company and eliminate Roman Reigns to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but Roman Reigns counters the elimination attempt and hits Styles with the Superman Punch, and the two are down. Suddenly all we hear is… “TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!!!” and Triple H makes his return to cost Roman Reigns the WWE World Championship, and make out that he’s brought in AJ Styles, even playing into the fact that some people consider him the Best Wrestler on the Planet to be HIS champion. HHH will extend his hand to seal the deal, to which AJ Styles will shake his hand and smile. HHH raises Styles hand… only for Styles to drop HHH with a shot to the head with the title. The League Of Nations charged down the ramp, but AJ Styles is suddenly sided by Karl Anderson and Doc Gallow who both hold Steel Chairs. The League Of Nations watch from the ramp and AJ Styles lifts up HHH and drops him with the Styles Clash, leaving the last image of the Royal Rumble with the Styles with the World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows standing in the ring as The League Of Nations watch from the ramp, Roman Reigns recovers sitting outside against the barricade and HHH unconscious on the canvas.
 
The next night the show will enter with The Authority in the ring and HHH is absolutely livid because now, Roman Reigns into the only threat that he needs to deal with, because now there’s “Outsiders” with the crown jewel of the company. Roman Reigns comes out, obviously unhappy about the fact that he was screwed out of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and says that while the World Championship is his life, he needs to eradicate a problem that needs to go away (being HHH). As the two are about to come to blows, Styles, Anderson and Gallows come out and reveal that their arrival serves only one purpose – “To Take Over” and turn this business in what is should be, rather than what they want it to be. HHH in an attempt to kill two birds with one stone will make the Main Event: AJ Styles (c) vs Roman Reigns – WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line… with HHH as the Special Guest referee, and if Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows interfere at any point throughout the match, the three will be fired. During the Main Event as the two men are down, HHH will throw the match out by grabbing a sledgehammer and taking the two men out. Suddenly Sheamus will make his way out with The League Of Nations and pull out the same line he had with Rollins that “There’s Always A Plan B” and announce that there’s going to be an unannounced Main Event and that AJ Styles’ night is far from over, announcing that he’ll be defending the WWE Title against Sheamus NOW – but before the match starts Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows make the save… the League Of Nations begin to get the upperhand due to the numbers advantage, but suddenly Finn Balor makes the save and clears the ring, siding with Styles, Anderson and Gallows. So now the group have the World Championship and NXT Title.
 
The weeks go by leading into Fastlane where HHH forced AJ Styles to defend the WWE Title against Sheamus in a Steel Cage, which stops Anderson, Gallows and Balor from saving Styles when Sheamus is about to win the title, and HHH also forcing Finn Balor to defend the NXT Title against Baron Corbin, which would be the first time the NXT Title has been defended on a WWE PPV. Finn Balor retains the NXT Championship after a Bloody Sunday, and AJ Styles retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by leaping off the top of the cage to the outside onto the League of Nations as they attempt to stop him from climbing down. The next night HHH is in the ring and is far from happy about AJ Styles retaining the WWE Championship and Roman Reigns win (which I’ll explain in the next match.) and announce that for the first time since becoming the COO, he’s forced to take drastic measures and is bringing in the perfect weapon to take the championship away from AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 32… but they’re going to find out who it is at the end of the night and announces that the Main Event of Raw is going to the The Balor Club vs The League Of Nations. The Balor Club win and as they celebrate… Brock Lesnar’s theme hits and out he comes with Paul Heyman. Lesnar jumps up onto the apron and enters the ring as The Balor Club stand their ground, but rather than things breaking down, the final image of that Raw is Lesnar standing against The Balor Club as AJ Styles raises the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
 
The next week on Raw, HHH makes the match official and AJ Styles will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Brock Lesnar… and the match will be No Holds Barred because, in HHH words, “so he can’t weasel his way away from The Beast.” At Wrestlemania AJ Styles SUCCESSFULLY defends the WWE World Heavyweight Championship with a Styles Clash off of middle rope through two opened chairs. If there’s any way to completely legitimise The Bullet/Balor Club, and AJ Styles as both a Champion and a Top Babyface, going over Lesnar is the best way to do it. You can build Styles up to where he holds the WWE World Heavyweight Championship until Summerslam where he can lose it to: Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan (if he’s back), Dolph Ziggler (idgaf what you guys say, Heel Ziggler is money) etc etc.
 
WINNER: AJ STYLES
 
If Triple H loses, the Authority is outed out of power.

I’ll be updating this as I go, because this is going to probably be long af. I’ll leave the next match without the Storyline for the lulz.
 
I’ll be adding a storyline to each match to give contest to why I believe SHOULD happen. If it’s not realistic, I’m not too fussed, but with the WWE’s recent track record, who wants a realistic WWE Card anyway. These storylines will start from the Royal Rumble onwards.

Career vs Control.
Roman Reigns vs Triple H
 
Okay, so let’s recap what happened between Royal Rumble and Fast Lane between both HHH and Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns was about to successfully retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Royal Rumble, only for HHH to screw him and “help” AJ Styles win the championship, and the next night of RAW, AJ Styles was forced to defend his newly won Championship against Roman Reigns, but as the match breaks down, HHH hits both men with a Sledgehammer. The next week on RAW Roman Reigns calls out HHH so they can finish this once and for all, but Stephanie McMahon comes out and says that HHH isn’t going to be here tonight due to company business, but he’s left something for Roman Reigns to do while he’s gone… a Four on One Gauntlet match against the League of Nations and if as a little more incentive for Reigns to win, gives the stipulation that if he does, he’ll be added to the main event of Fastlane for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns makes his way through Barrett, Rusev and Del Rio, but falls short after being hit by two Brogue Kicks and being pinned – after the match it’s revealed that HHH was in the arena the whole time and that this was a plan for another set up from HHH. HHH pedigrees Roman Reigns and buries his knee into the back of the neck of Reigns as he’s handed a microphone. HHH laughs and says… “You want to finish this Roman? You want to make your FAMILY proud… I’ll give you the chance at Wrestlemania. But… in order for that to happen you must win at Fastlane – against The League of Nations! And Roman… I’ll be the referee.”
 
Fastlane comes along and Roman Reigns is forced to climb up the biggest hill of his career. The match starts out with Roman Reigns facing Barrett, Rusev and Del Rio in a Handicap match where the members of The League Of Nations are forced to tag in and out, but as Roman Reigns begins to gain the upper hand over Barrett, the other two intervene, and HHH being HHH does nothing about it. Eventually Barrett will lift Reigns up and hold him as Rusev attempts to his that Running Superkick, Reigns will get out of the way and Barrett will get hit. Del Rio will get hit by a Superman Punch and Rusev with a Spear. Reigns goes for the cover, but HHH doesn’t count, instead doing the DX “Suck It!” Reigns shoots to his feet and drives HHH into the corner and begins to unload, but is hit from behind by Del Rio. HHH gets fired up and rips off his referee shirt and goes to pedigree Reigns, but Reigns fights away and hits HHH with a spear. Reigns fights away The League of Nations and hits Barrett with a spear. Reigns covers Barrett, grabs the arm of the out HHH and counts the pin, winning the match – the match at Wrestlemania is official: Roman Reigns vs Triple H. Reigns celebrates as HHH recovers on the outside, realising that his plan backfired and he’s going to be forced to face Reigns at Wrestlemania.
 
The next night on Raw, Reigns is out in front of the crowd and talks about the things that The Authority have put him through, not only through the last few months, but even while apart of The Shield. He’ll talk about how one of his best friends, a man he looked upon as a brother, stabbed him in the back because of the likes of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon and at Wrestlemania, Roman Reigns is going to put an end to it all, and when he does, he’s putting his sights directly on the Championship he never rightfully lost. HHH will come out and say that Reigns doesn’t really understand what he’s in for at Wrestlemania – that Reigns believes that this is nothing more than a fairytale; Reigns believes that he’s going to conquer the unstoppable monster and be the hero of this company. Triple H will laugh before saying “Not all fairytale’s have a happy ending, Roman”. HHH will say that if Roman doesn’t win at Wrestlemania that his career is over – there isn’t going to be a second, a third or fourth chance. At Wrestlemania the Roman Empire either Rises or Crumbles. Reigns will run his fingers through his hair before saying “If I don’t win at Wrestlemania, I don’t have career…” Reigns will begin to talk about how this is going to be the end of a war that started with HHH and Daniel Bryan – the moment that HHH began to lead this company into the hole that it’s in now, and if HHH is so confident in himself, why doesn’t he put it all on the line. If Reigns loses, he’ll leave the WWE and never return again… but if Reigns wins, HHH is ousted from power and The Authority is no more. HHH firstly declines, until Reigns starts to question his manhood and brings up what his children must think of him (something that has always been an incredibility touchy subject for both HHH and Stephanie) and HHH agrees.
 
Wrestlemania comes and this match goes on before the Main Event, and in an segment before the match, HHH tells Stephanie to stay out of it and drop any plans that she has of getting involved, or having someone come out, because if there’s going to be someone that puts the final nail into the coffin of Roman Reigns career, it’s going to be HHH alone. The match starts at the two immediately begin to trade blow – if there’s one thing about this match, it CAN’T be a slow pace until they’ve absolutely killed each other. With everything these two have put each other through, this match should be what Orton and HHH SHOULD have been; an all-out war where the two are trying to knock each-others teeth down their throat. The match will come down to where both men have hit their best move (being the Spear and Pedigree) on each other but neither has been able to keep the other down. This leads the HHH, who’s in control, to attempt to his a Super Pedigree for the first time in his career, but obviously Reigns will counter, hit the Superman Punch and a Spear for the win, ousting HHH and The Authority from power. While I’ve seen a lot of you guys predicting this match to be for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it really doesn’t need it. I understand that this is meant to be a realistic card and I’m probably going to bend the rules, but HHH and Roman Reigns has enough history and build up to where the WWE World Heavyweight Championship being on the line is nothing but useless when you can build another Main Event that is going to sell the PPV to more people. Also, when The Authority is ousted from power, it needs to happen at the biggest show of the year, not Summerslam, Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble. The Authority has run its course and has been repetitive for almost a year. If they do it at Mania, they’re probably not going to be a bigger boost for Reigns than they would if they did in later.
 
WINNER: ROMAN REIGNS
 
Grudge Match
Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn

This is great 

Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens - I'll add more when I have the chance.

Xav quit making my dick hard with your amazing booking.

Just stop it.

So I'll just write some high points for the feud

Main Event WWE TITLE 
Roman Reigns w/Vince vs Brock Lesnar w/Heyman 

-During RR match everything going great for the champ until the countdown for Number 27 starts and out comes the Beast Bork Lazer and takes everyone out with German Suplexes. Everyone is getting eliminated and that's left is Lesnar and Reigns. Then we see the return of the world's most smallest henchmen J&J and The Game. Who help Reigns retain the belt. 
-Next night The Authority music hits and come Stephanie, Vince, HHH and J&J and tell the entire roster who are on the ramp that Brock Lesnar is an example of what happens to does that reject The Authority's offer. They introduce Reigns who comes out to a new music. Saying that I did what's best for his family (it was part of WWE 24/7)
-WWE have Heyman cut some of the most vicious promo ever.
-During fast lane instead of defending his title Reigns is part of a contract signing. Brock comes out with Heyman and those two start a verbal assault on Roman. Thankfully Vince is there to guide Reigns through this segment (thanks to Heyman and Vince and HHH this feud can help Roman with his kryptonite aka his mic work).
-so blah blah blah. We move forward to the RAW before Mania. So the main event is 15 minute of Heyman vs Vince, HHH and Stephanie verbal face off because if Brock can't compete in a match then it means that it's going to be Heyman's job to make the Lesnar side of the feud look good.
-Easy decision with Reigns for the win here. (He's finally ready.
Q: why did you have Roman turn heel?
A: in my opinion I think Reigns can be a solid heel and because then we can have a Rollins face turn.
