And discuss the impact of that outcome.
I'll just get it out of the way. Booker T beats Trips at that WM and becomes champion. Unfortunately however, given the politics, Booker either loses the belt back to him the next night on Raw or at the next ppv. Either way, Booker becomes a man who, if you go down his title wins, won just about every belt in WWE and WCW he was eligible for except for maybe 2.

Sting beats Triple H at WrestleMania.
Sting gives a nice speech the next night and his feud with Triple H ends. He shows up next year for his final match against Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Gangrel beats X-Pac for the European championship at Royal Rumble 1999, winning his first title in WWF.
This leads to Gangrel starting a London gothic vampire gimmick.

Nexus wins at Summerslam. All 7 get made even more, Wade gets his title run and becomes top heel. Nexus hold strong until RR, setting in motion feuds for Mania.

Booker T beats Triple H at WrestleMania 19. Evolution gets a kink in their armor and RAW doesn't feel so stagnant for 2 straight years. You can also capitalize on Booker at his most over period, and really have JR drive home his success story of overcoming his troubled youth. It's an actual feel-good underdog babyface story everyone could have invested in.

Blue Blazer vs. The Godfather I'd just rather the match never get booked in the first place. Owen isn't on the card and they don't talk to the guy who did the rigging for Sting's entrance. I'd be more than good with that.

Brock Lesnar defeats John Cena at Extreme Rules 2012.
Suddenly, you've instantly made all of 2012 make perfect sense and turned it into a well-written year of John Cena from his loss to The Rock all the way to his ultimate redemption at Mania 29-
Cena truly HATED The Rock. Kane tries to make him either give into his hate for The Rock (and be able to destroy him) or rise above it (and not let it get to him), and Cena chose neither...and it cost him the win AND he was a sitting duck for Brock Lesnar when he came back. Lesnar destroyed him, to Tensai beating him, to Cena's biggest insult: John Laurinatis beats him. Cena gets revenge against Big Show for causing that, and has problems- only for the heroes of WWE to give him a vote of confidence. Cena tries to pick up the pieces from his real rock bottom, wins MITB...and becomes the first man to fail to cash in MITB. Cena continues to flail. CM Punk is now the man- and Cena even lets Ryback take the spot because he can't cut it. Cena comes close to a win- and The Shield come in to stop it. Finally, Cena wins the Royal Rumble- gets a Mania spot- and The Rock is waiting to exorcise his biggest demon and win the title. He does.
MEANWHILE, now with that and subsequent matches- and even prior, you suddenly have a whole plotline for any match you need a big one for: John Cena is the best performer in WWE and has been for a decade- but despite that, he JUST CAN'T BEAT Brock Lesnar, and we don't know if Cena EVER WILL be able to. Either you have Cena able to finally get his white whale and beat Lesnar...or you solidify "Roman Reigns IS better than Cena" when Reigns DOES beat Lesnar.

Lex Luger actually wins the title at Summerslam, which continues the feud with Yokozuna until Survivor Series which leads to Yokozuna winning the title back

Bret beats Shawn in Montreal and then is destroyed in Detroit. We never hear about the Screwjob (Thank God) and the ill will between Bret and WWE never happens. Vince has Bret back after WCW folds as a commentator or authority figure.
Triple H fades into obscurity, opening a gym and airing racist vlogs on his YouTube channel every week.

Vince has Bret back after WCW folds as a commentator or authority figure. Triple H fades into obscurity, opening a gym and airing racist vlogs on his YouTube channel every week. This is the one I was going to say. Presumably, they have Bret give up the title the following night, or do the four way for the December PPV, and they still end up going to HBK/Austin at Mania, but the big question for me is, what happens with Vince? Without the screwjob, does he get over nearly as much as a heel? If he doesn't get that heat from Montreal, do they still end up going with Vince as the top heel, with Vince being Austin's big foil, or do they try to have the Vince/Austin story as more of a side story? If they do still go to having Austin/Vince as the big story, does it get over to nearly the degree that it did if Vince doesn't have the heat from Montreal? If not, what does that mean for how WWE would have fared in '98 and beyond?

Does outcome only involve the winner, or does it involve the actual ending itself? I'll do both (two picks).
Stone Cold vs. Rock at WM 17. I didn't watch then, but as crazy as it probably was and how great the show was, I don't think Steve Austin should have ever turned heel. In hindsight, I think it was arguably one of the biggest mistakes WWE ever did that had long-term affects on the product. While they did book WCW/ECW badly in the Invasion, of all people, Austin should have been the WWF's leader. As cool as the Two-Man Power Trip looked, they should have just done HHH vs. Austin for the title for a bit while Rock took time off. Most regard 2001 as the year that ended the Attitude Era, and while change was needed, I think Austin's heel turn avalanched into what nerfed the WWF product in 2002 and onward. In summary, Austin could've won, but not turn heel.
Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash at Starrcade 98. This easily led to the event that put WCW down in the end. No way Goldberg shouldn't have won. If anything, maybe DDP or Booker T should've ended Goldberg's streak, but man, even though a Wolfpac Nash title run against Hogan might have made some sense (which they never did in the end anyway), no way should Nash have beaten the top babyface like that.

Bray wyatt beats cena at mania goes on to be the biggest heel of the company keeping a hold of the belt and it taking someone like undertaker to take him down.

Owen hart beats Bret hart at Summerslam 94. His charisma makes it a great heel title run as he taunts and antagonizes Bret for a full year before dropping the belt back to him. The competitive match makes them respect each other and the feud is ended.
The Anti America gimmick still happens.
Owen becoming the blazer never happens because his perceived value keeps him in the main event scene.

Since most of the major ones have been said already:
Wendi Richter vs. The Spider, AKA the original screwjob.
Maybe Women's Wrestling would have been treated better in WWF if Wendi were around longer, due to her being a focused figure for a while. She wouldn't have walked out, at the very least.

The big thing is that it's not known HOW much he gets over- but the seeds were already planted for Vince as a top heel by Vince going against Austin defending the IC title while injured. By the Screwjob, Austin had already given Vince a Stunner for the first time...and Mike Tyson showing up was going to get people's eyes on Austin anyway to REALLY lead to Austin/Vince getting seen more and getting them to stardom. So, Bret being screwed is secretly...not particularly consequential in WWE history.

I was gonna say Bryan wins the 2015 Rumble, but given his health the following months, a match with Brock might hurt him more.
Instead he makes it to the final 2 and Roman still wins, but via heel turn, by having The Rock eliminate Bryan for him. Bryan takes on a lighter schedule to build up a Mania match with The Rock and now Roman getting the shit booed out of him everywhere won't be censored.

Santino tosses Alberto out of the Rumble and wins.
Alberto doesn't become stale as quickly, Santino freshens up the Main Event for a bit.
