Had an idea this morning
I watched the 1994 Royal Rumble last night on the Network, where Bret Hart
and Lex Luger both went over the top at the same time and were co-winners.
They both got a shot at Wrestlemania X. One guy got a match with the
Champion first, while the other guy had to wrestle suitable competition
(Crush for Luger or Owen for Bret) before he got his title shot
Bret ended up facing Owen, while Luger got the shot at Yokozuna first
They could do that with Bryan and Reigns this year and have them both get a
shot at Wrestlemania, but bring back the "suitable competition" rule. It's
been over 20 years now, so I guess it's been long enough to re-hash it. It
might placate the Philly crowd somewhat and avoid their expected (Though
I'm thinking the worries of this may be overblown) freak out at Reigns
winning.
Have Reigns get the first shot at the champ and Bryan can face Brock Lesnar
as "suitable competition", with the idea that The Authority are
deliberately stacking the deck against him by giving him the toughest
opponent imaginable
Meanwhile, have Rollins win the title at Rumble and then have him retain at
Elimination Chamber over Cena, thanks to interference from Rusev to set
that program up
That leaves us with a Wrestlemania card of
Brock Lesnar Vs Daniel Bryan
WWE Title
(C) Seth Rollins Vs Roman Reigns
Daniel Bryan Vs Rollins/Reigns
Triple H Vs Sting for control of WWE
Rusev Vs John Cena
Undercard
Then you can either screw Reigns in the Rollins match somehow and have
Bryan win the Title, thus leading to a bitter Reigns turning heel and
siding with Paul Heymen down the line. Or, you could have Reigns get two
big wins over two of the companies best workers, thus giving him the
strongest possible start to his title run. You could then run rematches
with both Bryan and Rollins before building to the big showdown with Cena
Thoughts? Feel free to share with the Doomers
Ach, no. They already ripped off Rumble 94 in 2005 because they couldn't make up their minds and it sucked then too. If Daniel Bryan isn't winning it he shouldn't be in it.
