What to do with Rollins, Cena & Cesaro when they return?

[mrbananagrabber]

So the above names should hopefully be back sooner rather than later. What would you do with them?

Does Rollins go right back in the title hunt?
Does Cena?
Should they take this big pop return for Cesaro to finally push him into the main event?

What do?

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Well, despite pops they will make Cesaro heel and have him put over Roman. Otherwise, who knows.

I think they will do Cena/AJ asap as it'll divide the crowds as much as the Cena/Punk programme did.

Rollins will challenge Reigns for the belt, lose, get booted out of the authority and turn face.

Cersaro, no idea. Maybe with the bullet club (either feuding with them or joining them), maybe going into the IC picture with Owens/Zayn/Jericho as it will be at that time, maybe as a bullyboy heel who gets humiliated on superstars by the social outcasts most weeks any of theses is equally possible.

Rollins vs Cesaro - best of infinity.

Seriously though: I'd have Reigns win the title at WM, turn heel and be chased by Ambrose until SummerSlam. SummerSlam main event: Reigns vs Ambrose, with interference by a returning Rollins setting up a Shield 3-way at Survivor Series.

Cesaro would be a super face. Put him over Cena in a short feud then team him with Cena (as part of Shane's faction) to take out the LoN. Cena falls into the background as Cesaro goes over Del Rio, Rusev and Sheamus in matches prepping him to be the number 2 face behind Dean Ambrose.

SummerSlam would be:
WHC: Reigns (heel) vs Ambrose
(Rollins suprise return, leading to Reigns barely retaining via DQ)
Cesaro vs Lesnar
Cena/Shane vs Triple H/Sheamus

Of course this is all moot if we get the (probable) brand split...

The Shield triple threat HAS to happen at Wrestlemania.

All i want for Summer(slam) is Cena vs AJ

I'd agree, but that's going to be 13 months from now. Maybe a Survivor Series rematch at 33?

WWE runs matches into the ground as it is, this is the most exciting fresh match up they have, it's gotta happen for the first time on the biggest stage.

I'd assume they'll have Rollins try to continue to be a heel going straight after Reigns, and the crowd will naturally firmly be on his side. Cena I could see diving back into doing the US Open Challenge thing, it's a good use for him and it's better than the nothing of consequence being done with the belt ever since he lost it.

Cesaro will probably just go right back to rotting in the midcard with little acknowledgement he was even gone.

That would also be thirteen months of everyone involved spinning their wheels when it'd be easy to get to said match right from this point in time as it is, and blowing a match that could be a draw for some other show on one that will do well without it. Plus risking one of them getting injured or losing all momentum or something.

If the timing is right for it, then do the match at Battleground or Night of Champions or something. Zero benefit to dragging the thing out until Mania if you're going to do it.

Marry Cesaro.
F*** Rollins.
Kill Cena.

Wait, is this what we're doing?

[lionelp]

I still feel cheated we never got Cesaro v Brock

I think they can all go around on the carousel against the likes of AJ, and the rest of the new call ups

Whenever it happens, Cena / AJ has to be a PPV match. It's too much of a dream match to just do on a random Raw or interrupt with commercials.

[Ruthless Pessimism]

Cesaro goes back into the midcard to run the course against guys like Jericho, Owens, AJ, Kalisto, Del Rio, etc.

Rollins comes back as a thorn in the authority's side, probably feuds with Kane over his injury then moves into the title picture to set up the eventual triple threat. Maybe even goes over Hunter at SummerSlam.

Cena...I'm honestly not sure. Maybe mega match against champion Reigns at SummerSlam?

[Push R Truth]

Let's see:

Cena puts Roman over
Rollins jobs to Roman
Cesaro wishes he was high enough on the card to do either

[Dave the Dave]

New Shield

[Deleted]

Cena goes back to being Cena and overshadowing the show.

Cesaro goes right back to where he was in the midcard trading victories with the same guys over and over.

Rollins probably turns face and actually gets something new to do.

I imagine they'll keep Cena far away from Reigns for the foreseeable future, at least as an enemy. One because they might want to save that for a big money Mania match, and two, because Cena is the favorite of the part of the crowd that does like Reigns, and chances are it'd just cause them to turn against Roman like everyone else has.

[Deleted]

Rollins will return as a heel simply because the company loves doing the "heel turns face on camera for a huge reaction" thing. Sure, he needs to be a face but I doubt it right now.

[Lupin the Third]

Cesaro: World Title

Rollins: Contender

Cena: Meh.

[01010010 01101001 01100011]

Working off the idea they are having a brand split after Mania:

Cesaro- Returns and targets the top champion on Smackdown. Wins the title by Summerslam.

Rollins- Returns to save Ambrose from someone on Smackdown. Talks about the only people who cared while he was out were the fans and Ambrose. They win the tag belts.

Cena- Returns to Raw on a heavily hyped show to see the landscape completely different now. He doesn't know what to make of it and doesn't trust Shane or his people at all. Decides to set things right by going after the WWE WHC.
