- They will announce an animated WWE film (not a crossover) that will "sneak" premiere on the Network before debuting on Cartoon Network.

Something happens. Internet complains.

That about covers it.

Business Side:

• There will be either a protest or walk out by a significant number of talent (7-10) over Vince's failures booking and more importantly paying wrestlers based on the Network.
• Vince will have either stepped down or announced a retirement date based on the above walk out and the numerous lawsuits facing himself and WWE over his handling of the TV deals and Network launch.
• RAW will drop to 2:30 minutes with the other 30 going to Smackdown. (Note: I don't really see this happening)

On Camera:

• Sting v. Undertaker will happen not at Mania but Summerslam. Taker will issue the challenge to Sting after Sting defeats Hunter at Mania.
• Roman Reigns will defeat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title only to fall victim to Seth Rollins and MITB to close out Mania. Earlier in the night though, Dean Ambrose will have beaten Seth Rollins
• Based on the event at Wrestlemania, Seth Rollins will defend his WWE Title against Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose in a Triple Threat at Extreme Rules
• 2 NXT Superstars and a WWE Superstar will "debut" at Extreme Rules by laying out Seth, Roman and Dean in a scene more remincient of the Nexus than the Shield
  
• The Shield will reunite at MITB to take on the 3 who debut at Extreme Rules.
• Kevin Owens will be one of three and he will end the year as WWE Champion. 
• Finn Balor will be another and Cesaro will be the third. Cesaro will be announced as fired a few weeks before to help make the moment more shocking.

I was going to post a pic in reply but my phones screwing up on me so I'll just contribute to the thread instead.

- The Shield will reunite

- Roman Reigns turns heel

- Marty Jannetty will be hired only to be fired minutes later

- Seth Rollins becomes WWE Champion

- Shane McMahon returns (may tie into the Authority being brought back)

- Sting becomes GM of RAW

- The Lucha Dragons get called and later get the feud O.G. Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio were supposed of who's the better masked luchador

- Brock Lesnar doesn't have a match with Roman Reigns at all and leaves WWE

- Vince McMahon stays in position of power

- Dean Ambrose turns heel and gets to let loose in all his Moxley glory

- WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling compete with each other and it becomes the new WWF vs WCW though much less hostile

[Sir Woodrow]

Big Show, Kane & Mark Henry will continue to be dull

[DZ: WF Legacy]

-Cesaro wins the intercontinental title. People think things will change, his career ultimately spins at the wheels. He does get less shitty theme music, however.

-Undertaker and Sting retire together, but not at Wrestlemania...

-Roman Reigns becomes WWE Champion. The Shield finally have a triple threat match...for the WWE title.

-Bryan returns but gets hurt again.

-Kane FINALLY retires from active competition.

-Chris Jericho has a program with Seth Rollins.

-Triple H wins the WWE title one final time. Ultimately puts over Reigns.

-Sami Zayn never gets called up and is instead used as an "NXT Guy" to help establish future WWE superstars.

-Goldust retires.

[Evil Homer]

most of this relates to WM & The Rumble

I've mentioned this in other threads as well , This is the scenario I want - Reigns and Ambrose are the final 2 in rumble - something something screwy finish - both men are named no 1 contenders for the title at Mania against Brock . In addition Seth decides he wants to cash in & inserts himself into the match, making it a four way elimination style .

Shield briefly reunite to hit Brock with a couple of triple power bombs - ending his wwe career , more importantly for holding the title hostage for 7 months. Next Ambrose is eliminated. Reigns pins Seth to become champion. After the match - Ambrose enters the ring and shakes Reigns hand and raises it in the air . Rollins enters back in the ring - Reigns and Seth stairdown , Seth steps back and puts his fist out. Dean and Roman tap their fists with his ,and this is the closing moment as the fireworks go off . epic moment IMO

Other mania matches :
Taker V. Bray Wyatt - Taker wins
HHH V. Sting , Sting wins & then HHH's cronies come out to take put Sting down for good - Kane, J&J Security, Cesaro- Taker comes out and clears the ring- Sting- Taker face off , Taker does his throat slitting gesture- Setting up a match for Survivor Series ( I personally want to see the match, just not at Mania)
Cena V. Rusev , Cena ends Rusev winning streak

nxt championship will be featured on the WM pre show

The WWE title & World title are once again split
Dolph will have a storyline similar to Bryan's , which will lead to HHH V. Dolph at summerslam - with Dolph winning the WORLD title shortly after


Ryback wins world title at some point

The World title is treated as a stepping stone before a star wins the wwe title, IC title becomes third most important , US Title is retired

Jericho will continue showing up randomly , putting over new talent - in pretty decent matches ( Rollins, Ambrose , maybe Zayn at some point)

Kevin Owens will make his main roster debut- by destroying John Cena on ppv , and make a huge impact - leading to main event status in 2016

[The Legend of Groose]

Vince will pass away.
Cesaro will be released.
Danial Bryan returns at Money in the Bank and wins it.
Randy Orton will be #1 or #2 at the Rumble and will go for over an hour.
Roman Reigns will win the rumble.
All three members of the Shield will have had a WWE title match.
Adrian Neville will be an IC champion.
Big Show and Mark Henry will have one more match and will call it a career at mania.
Ziggler will leave the WWE on bad terms.
Cena will tie Flair's record.
Randy Savage will get in the HOF.
The WWE Network will die out by the end of next year.
Sheamus and Finn Balor will become a tag team and win the belts.
Eric Bishoff at one time will make a one off appearance.
Ryback will get cut in a very unique way.

[Bang Bang Bart]

- Sting vs. HHH for WM31. Betrayals of Sting optional.

- The New Day all turn heel, but not as a New Nation-type faction.

- The Authority will return, but once again be removed after a few months, paving the way for a new permanent boss. This boss will be impartial to faces and heels, and he may or may not be Sting.

- WWE will announce a new "batshit insane" non-wrestling project, which may be a new animated series featuring exaggerated versions of various wrestlers.

- Dean Ambrose finally gets his revenge on Seth Rollins at WM31.

- Undertaker vs. Bray Wyatt at WM31. Wyatt wins and ultimately retires Taker, in a "passing the torch" moment of sorts. This leads to a bigger push of Bray as a dangerous threat, possibly making him the focal point of the "big summer angle" for 2015. Alternatively, the growing threat of Wyatt could be the catalyst for Cena to bring The Authority back, to help deal with a bigger threat to the company.

- Cena is the one who stops Rusev at WM31.

- Cesaro finally turns face and is given a considerable push that comes in late 2015.

- Daniel Bryan doesn't return in time for the Royal Rumble, but will come after SummerSlam, perhaps as the returning hero who stops Bray's reign of terror.

- Sheamus will be a Paul Heyman Guy.

- Sami Zayn debuts sometime during the year and becomes a big deal, fairly quick.

- Either Big Show, Kane, or Goldust retires from the ring.

- Kevin Owens beats Sami Zayn for the NXT title and goes on a lengthy reign as an unstoppable heel champion. His title run is stopped by a new surprise signing in early 2016.

- We'll get a litany of releases mid-year, with some surprising names included amongst the fallen.

- Divas matches will still be of poor quality compared to NXT women's matches.

[Steveweiser]

*Seth Rollins cashes in on Roman Reigns after the main event of WrestleMania, and since Reigns is consistently booed after winning the Royal Rumble, Rollins becomes the most over babyface since Steve Austin.

*Sting is jumped the night after the Royal Rumble by Triple H and members of The Authority, causing a huge scene. Sting then petitions John Cena to reinstate Triple H so he can face him at WrestleMania, and Cena agrees.

*Sting defeats Triple H at WrestleMania, but as he celebrates, The Undertaker mysteriously appears in the ring to stare him down. Their match for WrestleMania 32 is announced the next night on RAW.

*Rusev defeats Dolph Ziggler at WrestleMania to unify the Intercontinental and US Titles. This builds up to a big feud with John Cena, culminating at SummerSlam, where Cena defeats him.

*Sami Zayn debuts on the main roster, and defeats Cena at Survivor Series to win the now-elevated IC Title, being treated as Cena's "passing the torch moment".

*Daniel Bryan returns, and feuds for most of the year with a newly-heel Dean Ambrose.

*Paige defeats Nikki Bella for the Divas Title at WrestleMania, and feuds for the rest of the year with Charlotte and Sasha Banks.

*Randy Orton considers winding down his career, being repositioned as a "special attraction" kind of character in a similar vein to Shawn Michaels, though he defeats Seth Rollins at WrestleMania before Rollins cashes in later.

*AJ Lee does not leave WWE, but is kept away from the Divas Title scene by her newest rival, the super-clingy Bayley. AJ, thinking back to her Paige feud, misinterprets Bayley's intentions as similar to Mickie James with Trish Stratus.

*Other than The Ascension - Zayn, Bayley, Charlotte, Sasha (as mentioned), Adrian Neville and Finn Bálor are all called up. Hideo Itami and Kevin Owens stay in NXT for the whole of 2015, though Owens goes from February to the end of the year as NXT Champion, feuding with Bálor and then Itami.

*Recognising that the remaining women aren't advancing much at the Performance Centre, WWE signs two women from the indies, and fast tracks them to feud with Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's Title, after she defeats Charlotte for the title in February.

*Cesaro asks for his release in the summer, and will be granted it, then has an AJ Styles level impact on the indies.

*El Rey continues to struggle, to the point that Lucha Underground gets cancelled, allowing WWE to finally sign Prince Puma, aka Ricochet.
