Bryan wins, Bryan faces Lesnar in the definitive "David vs Goliath" battle at WM31, Lesnar leaves and Bryan wins the title, feuds with Rollins, Rollins wins the belt after a feud throughout the summer, Shield triple threat match at SummerSlam or Night of Champions, Reigns gets the belt for the Fall. Then you have Reigns/Cena saved for WM32, where Reigns would go over - still champion. It's too early to do that match. It's so simple, so easy, yet WWE will find some way to screw it up.

Just have Ziggler win it and call it a day. He's the only person outside of Bryan that the fans will accept.
I never understood the "step up your game" pep talks. At the end of the day, they are still given 100% scripted promos and booked to either win or lose. It's not like they can go into business for themselves and really make an effort beyond their means.
Take Reigns for example. Reigns is stuck in a shitty heatless feud with Big Show that will be dragged out for at least 2-3 more weeks of DQ and non-finishes before Reigns gets the victory. We all know it's coming, but in the mean time have to sit through 6 minute shitfests just waiting for the DQ finish. He's also handed horrible promos to recite. How is that stepping up your game?

It's gotta be either:
Reigns Rollins Ambrose Ziggler Rusev Ryback Bryan
So of course, the winner will be a returning Randy Orton.
EDIT: Forgot about Wyatt. EDIT: This is a list of your main eventers for the next decade, so regardless of who gets a world title 'first', don't get sick of Reigns NOW before he's even sniffed the title. He and others are going to have like 5 um, reigns.

THATS what it needs to be...if they are worried about Bryans injury and knowing that Reigns clearly is not ready...why not hand it to Ziggler...ya know that guy that probably deserves this more than just about anyone else on the roster.

Ah yes...Bryan is a huge risk. You know what else is a huge risk? Putting the weight of company on the shoulders of a guy who clearly isn't ready for it yet. Maybe you should hold off on that "passing of the torch" until you have someone who IS qualified to be your top guy for the next several years. Until then, do what's best for business NOW. I kind of understand why they want to try and rush Reigns, given it's hard telling when Cena might go down given his laundry list of injuries and the constant wear and tear he must be dealing with. A significant chunk of 2014 was them having to awkwardly try and work around Cena being the only top face left after Bryan got injured and Punk left, and the show was pretty terrible for it; having a clear alternative they can use in place of him isn't a bad idea. But, you'd think they'd learn by now that these forced pushes before the crowd actually wants somebody to be pushed just plain do not work, and they can survive well enough for a time without a definite top guy. That's why I say give the Mania title win to Bryan or Ziggler (would say Ambrose, but he's been run so far into the ground he's hopeless for the time being), just have Reigns do something big on the show, and see if by SummerSlam or Mania 32 he's over enough, good enough in the ring, and passable on the mic. If he is, then go ahead and let him run with it, but now is not the time to do it. My biggest worry with Reigns (as one of the few left around here who like him) is that WWE aren't ever GOING to put him in house show matches with people who can help him improve. They see he already has 3 or 4 big spots, and figure "See, he's already got the Main Event Style!", and the agents aren't ever going to suggest he try this, or try that, because they're afraid that Dunn the Cave Troll will run off to Vince and mention that they dared say he try something that deviates from "the line" that says never do anything different.

Its pretty cool that nobody really knows which way they will go. You could see them going with a Reigns win to keep him looking like the next big megastar but then do they want to risk the huge backlash if Bryan doesn't win? Even though they clearly don't see him as a Reigns style megastar?
Or do they go with a plan C and just have someone who isn't Reigns or Bryan take the heat? Like could Rollins conceivably lose in the title match, lose his cash in and then enter the rumble at 30 and win? That's assuming the title match is before the rumble match itself.

We never did get Cena vs Orton one on one at the grandest stage of them all. It'd be the War to Settle the Score.

I like Reigns, but his time as a top guy isn't even close to now, he's young still, plenty of time. Ziggler was IC champion in 2010, he's been a singles wrestler forever. Roman Reigns has been a singles wrestler for a few months active so far. Next year or even a couple years from now would be great for Roman.
Right now I'd say it's between Daniel Bryan and Ziggler. Ziggler has been the most compelling babyface on WWE lately surprisingly, he's really come into his own in this underdog role and it's the perfect push for him. But Daniel Bryan is an even more over and more established version of that same kind of underdog story. Plus he never got to have a solid WWE title reign yet.
I'm thinking Bryan gets it this year, I can see them booking him to beat Brock more than I can see them booking Ziggler to. But both would be cool in my book.

Why are they so deadset on rocket launching guys?
Why can't guys make their way up like Bret and Shawn did?
Start Roman in the tag division (check), then move him to the midcard, then move him to the main event spot. Give the guy the IC title and have him learn how to have singles matches with guys who can carry and teach him.

Updating the OP guys. Triple H held another meeting. Well gee guys, you better get on that. I think making a decision that leads to your biggest payday of the year would be something you might want to plan a lot sooner than 3 weeks away. This is the same company that writes a 3 hour live weekly TV show, 2 hours before it is to air. 3 weeks may as well be a lifetime.

Start Roman in the tag division (check), then move him to the midcard, then move him to the main event spot. Give the guy the IC title and have him learn how to have singles matches with guys who can carry and teach him. Honestly it's because they've created this environment that "midcard = jobber" so WWE now feels that the only way a wrestler can get be taken seriously is if they're "bigger than the lowly midcard" and shoved into the uppercard. Also because "midcard = jobber", the upper card talents are the only wrestlers a newer talent can have worthwhile programs with. That's kinda why the Shield happened the way it did. Also because of this environment, the only way a wrestler can be taken seriously In the midcard is if they're stepping DOWN to the midcard from a main event push (e.g. Miz, Sheamus, Henry) so you have a bunch of guys who are "in" the midcard just by virtue of not being in the title picture, but aren't midcard talents proper.

Did I just read a serious "report" on how Bryan is a "B Level Player?" Where did they get that mind blowing, original scoop from? Did they mention Reigns winning was "best for business" as well?

I love how they're trying viral marketing with this stuff, making the rumble more exciting with "whoaaaa we don't know WHO will win whaaaaaaaat!!"
how often does a company try to advertise by playing up how incompetently it's run?
