Rebook the HIAC finish

[Deleted]

Without giving The Fiend the title but making the fans happy. 

[Johnny]

reverse the roles at the end. but with Bray making no attempts to pin, or end the match. Just mutilating his opponent. Ref awards the victory to Bray via TKO, but Bray keeps going. show ends with Bray still destroying Seth, blood pouring from his mouth, with security trying to stop him.

The next night, Bray is blackballed due to being a psycho after the match, and stripped of the title. Bray continues to harass the show regardless, but now in an 'unsanctioned' capacity.

[Deleted]

10 minute match that ends with Seth passing out to the mandible claw with a shortened, altered version of the "he won't die" stuff before Bray locks in the claw. Fiend throws the belt down and disappears. Title is vacant.

5 on 5 match to open Survivor Series, with the survivors facing each other at the end of the night to crown a new champion.

[Moppy]

No disrespect intended at all, but, why is Wyatt not allowed to win the title? And if he's not, why does he have to be put into the match at all?

Sorry, I know that's not the point of a 'booking challenge' question like this. Just pointing out that those are the bigger mistakes WWE made.

For what it's worth, I've no idea how I'd get around booking a finish within these parameters, but I sure as hell wouldn't have The Fiend ridiculously no-selling about 15 finishers before being obliterated.

What you do is have the Ali match be against Rusev or some other guy not involved in the show who is on RAW, making Orton free.

You set up the main event as a triple threat of Orton vs The Fiend vs Seth Rollins.

Match starts Fiend overpowers both, they try there best to fight back Fiend no sells RKO & Stomp couple of times, brutalises them both into unconsciousness (mainly focusing on Seth) then leaves (via magic fiend stuff) ignoring the title.

Seth rolls over placing an arm on Orton, retaining the title.

Arena goes black/red Fiend returns and carries on destroying Seth.

Job done, no one loses momentum, everyone is happy.

Easy.

Fiend wins. Profit.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It's a horrible bump, but have them brawl to the top of the cell, both go through the cell and the ring ala Foley at NWO 2000, match is called off.

[doinkmark]

Undertaker screws Fiend when he clearly has Seth beaten since Fiend recently took out Kane.

Undertaker vs Fiend in Saudi Arabia. Fiend wins.

Funhouse Bray and guys in puppet suits vs some Smackdown guys at Survivor Series. Puppet workers are eliminated early. Bray turns into the Fiend and goes through his opponents one by one, slasher movie style, until he beats the odds and is the sole survivor.

Fiend beats Seth at TLC in a TLC match.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Fiend does the same blood dripping mauling of Seth on the outside and the ref tries to stop him. Mauls the ref. Mauls 10 more refs who run out. Starts screaming and holding his head like he's going nuts. Grabs Seth. Lights go out and extra loud sound effects come on to mask the sound of them all running away and when the lights come back on him AND Seth AND all the refs have disappeared with his wacky teleportation powers. I dunno if it would "make the fans happy" but maybe the shock of so many people suddenly not being there would hold over long enough to end the show before the booing came across on TV and everyone would just leave confused!

[The Unconquered Sun]

The Fiend just beats the holy hell out of Seth for the whole match. Finally Seth falls and it looks like it’s all over when Vince comes strutting down to the ring with a mic in his hand. He roars “You fat pig, I just realized, that devil puppet on your show, you’re making fun of my boy Shane! You can’t fool me! Well, I’m Vince McMahon and you’re fir...”
and before he can finish Vince gets locked in a Mandible Claw for the next five minutes. But the Friend still gets fired. That doesn’t stop him from haunting backstage for the next few weeks, just in time for Halloween.

Undertaker Demon King Finn Balor screws Fiend when he clearly has Seth beaten since Fiend recently took out Kane took out Angel Finn at Summerslam.

Undertaker Demon vs Fiend in Saudi Arabia all over the place, on both Raw and Smackdown, from now until at least the Rumble. Fiend Finn wins the feud then proceeds to Wrestlemania for one of the big titles, probably after winning the Rumble.

Funhouse Bray and guys in puppet suits vs some Smackdown guys at Survivor Series. Puppet workers are eliminated early. Bray turns into the Fiend and goes through his opponents one by one, slasher movie style, until he beats the odds and is the sole survivor.

Fixed that for you. The Fiend is meant to fall; he was never meant to dominate for the length of time that he has. The feud between Wyatt and Balor is already well-established and should have been continued after Wyatt returned from his illness.

[Hobby Drifter]

Fiend destroys every inch of Seth and grabs the title belt. He smashes it to pieces, grabs a sharp bit of the center plate and uses it to assist the mandible claw.

He backs off at 2.99, laughs heartily, then disappears. Seth vomits blood and isn’t able to speak for at least 3 months. He gets a voice box similar to Kane’s.

Funhouse Bray thinks this is hilarious and teases that maybe He will be back to take the rest of Seth at some other time.

[Dang!]

Fiend pulls Seth into a dangerous pit below the ring. No contest since there are no wrestlers to finish the match.

How hard was that?

[Magnus the Magnificent]

Bray murders Seth for a while, then murders the ref for the Hell (in a Cell) of it.
New ref comes in. Bray murders him too.
Third ref calls off the match from outside the cell.

Or Bray just decides to leave after dominating, he doesn't really want the title, just mutilate Seth.

[Blindkarevik]

I've stated this in other threads.

Fiend dominates match with a few good comebacks from Seth that prove, otherwise, futile.

Seth misses a suicide dive to the floor and smashes into the cage as The Fiend rolls back into the ring. He starts shaking his head, looking at "Hurt" and "Heal" on his hands as the referee tells him to get away from the ropes to allow Seth back in. Fiend turns and puts the mandible claw on the Ref and leaves him laying. Seth climbs the ropes for the flying knee but Fiend stands up and catches him in the claw as well. Fiend keeps pouring on the pressure but there's nobody who can stop him, some officials start coming down to the ring, but Roman Reigns runs ahead of them. He pleads with them to open the door for him, as soon as they do the lights go out. When they come back on, Rollins and the ref are still laid out, Roman is standing in the center of the ring but The Fiend has disappeared.

He then appears as Funhouse Bray on the Tron talking about how titles and championships are something he left in his past. How they only make people greedy, how people just want them to make themselves feel good and have others tell them how good they are. He says this is about something more, about sending a message. The Fiend doesn't forgive, doesn't forget, and what he wants from you is far more than a simple championship... and all you have to do to make it stop is to "Let Me In."

[James Fabiano]

Make Fiend/Seth a non HIAC match so you can get away with a no-contest. Make the Brock title win HIAC, and make it somewhat competitive. It shows Kofi's got guts that he's so desperate to get a win over Lesnar, he'll step into the cell to tip the odds.

[bmfjules]

Fiend wins, but Funhouse Bray relinquishes the title the next night saying the Fiend gave him the belt and said he had no use for it, or the Fiend appears and literally burns it up, destroying the belt, and all it represents. Good excuse to get a re-design on that garbage belt anyway.

In this scenario, I'd bump up the Cain Velasquez appearance to after the Kofi/Lesnar HIAC.

Probably should have been a triple threat to begin with.
