Wanted a title with "YOU'RE WELCOME!" Close enough.

Personally I'd just move the Reigns title win to earlier in the timeline, preferably before the Rumble. Make some of these other shows worth getting instead of getting everyone to hold out for WrestleMania every year. But that's just me. If he faced Lesnar, then a match at a PPV other than WM would be more unpredictable, but regardless, I think he should face Cena. So many people compare Reigns to being booked like Cena, and as we all know, Cena usually wins [LOL], so that would be a very interesting contest. You could then have Lesnar take the title off of Reigns due to Triple H interfering or something before WM, then have Bryan return to challenge Lesnar, building up two WM matches. Or you can have the Shield triple threat for the title or something. I just feel Reigns winning at WM would eliminate many more possibilities.

Man it was Canada. Different cities react differently. Yeah Reigns is over but only because he's still riding the Shield coat tails. I don't think he can last long just playing the Shield gimmick alone. He should chance his attire. Maybe switch the SWAT gear for khakis and a safari vest. It follows Rollins' example of looking slightly Shield-ish while giving a slight wink wink nudge to the Jungle Man fantasies. I'm telling ya. This is what he needs. Bonus points if Tamina comes back as Tamina: Warrior Princess.

Does anybody else think that giving the title to Reigns only for him to just fall short against Lesnar would help Roman in the long term? Similar to how his last stand against the Wyatts at EC showed him off as a beast, have him do that against Lesnar only to just be overpowered late. I think it will. Everyone knows that Lesnar only wrestles for "dream matches" against "big stars", so just being in the ring with him is a rub... On the contrary, that's why I'd hold off on the Reigns win to Mania for that- if Reigns wins and he falls short against Lesnar, it would give him a rub, but do him no favors. But wait until Mania 31, put him against a Champion Lesnar, and let Reigns win the title by slaying the beast who destroyed everyone before him? Reigns is absolutely MADE that way.

Step 1. Drop the name "Reigns" since most people don't need last names to get big time over. Step 2. Vignettes, exclusively to youtube, showing Roman going to the WWE warehouse and finding Farooq's original gladiator outfit. Step 3. Main event WrestleMania 31.
It's almost too simple.

Bonus points if Tamina comes back as Tamina: Warrior Princess. See, I've often thought if he shaved the goatee and didn't wet his hair he could pass for The Scorpion King. Imagine that! The Scorpion King being played by a wrestler. Crazy.
