The recent winners have mostly been choking, take a look:
2018: Shinsuke Nakamura (Lost), Asuka (Lost)
2017: Randy Orton (Won)
2016: Triple H (Lost, should be noted this match was for the WWE Championship and not a WrestleMania Main Event Shot)
2015: Roman Reigns (Lost)
2014: Batista (Lost)
5/6 loses is not a good look.

Rollins & Lynch standing in the ring with their belts and confetti falling would be a great way to sign off Mania.

The last two years really should have swapped results. Wyatt over Randy, Nakamura over AJ and especially Asuka over Charlotte are all better results.

Rollins & Lynch standing in the ring with their belts and confetti falling would be a great way to sign off Mania. Agreed. Which is why we'll get Lesnar and Ronda standing tall. |

I was just about to type the same thing. Vince already has in his mind "legit fighters" Ronda and Brock coming out of Mania with titles. Rollins and Becky will be afterthought as usual, because, as the boys from OSW say: "You don't like, what you think you like. You like, what I tell you to like!" |

Before Sheamus/Cena won, they had lost 4 in a row too, so it's 9 of the last 12. Pretty much a net negative at this point.

Just another reason Charlotte beating Asuka was so stupid. With the first ever women's Rumble you'd think they would want to start off with the winner going on to be successful.

I was especially pissed last year about Asuka and Nakamora losing. AJ and Charlotte got no benefit from those wins. Plus the optics were terrible for the company. After years of rumors of the company having a stigma against Asian performers, to give folks hope that progress had been made, only to get “sike! Lol, you wacky Japanese, back to mid card with you!”.

Rollins & Lynch standing in the ring with their belts and confetti falling would be a great way to sign off Mania. Why Rollins? He's already won the championship. He's had Mania moments. He's fine... but not confetti worthy. |

It's pretty bad. Like, it's not at G1 briefcase levels of "lol nope", but it's not a great look for the Rumble title shot.

He's fine... but not confetti worthy. The moment has passed for Rollins imo. In the summer he was red hot, not so much now. |
