That, however, isn't entirely fair. The only people 'most likely to quit the business for non-injury related reasons' would infer 'they go to MMA' (and in fairness, of them the most likely of those four would be Ziggler [college wrestling standout] or Bryan [longtime MMA trainee/enthusiast] over Reigns/Ambrose [no particular amateur experience]...or "They go to Hollywood". And with Hollywood, you NEED to take the chance on the wrestlers who may go to Hollywood- because the wrestlers Hollywood take notice of ARE the ones who lead you to a new boom period (Hogan, Austin, Rock) or the ones who were the best of the best for a long time (Cena.) Ignoring someone who MAY quit to go to Hollywood is the worst decision possible, because it means taking the people who have the chance to take WWE to the promised land again and making a conscious decision to hold them back in favor of people who'll never walk away, and in the process decides "Screw a boom period, we'd RATHER be beloved by the IWC and no one else in the world. We'll take our 1.1 and be happy with that." I agree, it isn't a fair assumption in the slightest. My basis on the statement was more of the other guys being lifetime fans rather than just getting into the 'family business' after a stalled football career. Nothing much, really.

Stays the same, but surprised at the lack of Shield triple threat option

My money is on us getting a WM 18 scenario where we get a real main event and a world title match nobody remembers. That's the best case scenario, IMO, because WWE seems intent on riding the Reigns wagon until the wheels fall off and the rest of it bursts into flames.

The only thing that's going to save this for me is if Lesnar continues to trend towards face, and they keep Reigns on the same Cena 2.0 trajectory. At WM he defeats Lesnar but with Usos and Rock interference. It would be a heel turn for all of them. Reigns reforms the Samoan Swat Team (he already has the gear and the Usos are the sons of one of the original members) and they become the new dominate faction. The Authority is getting stale (understatement) so they would be breathing new life into two different title scenes. The Rock could play a manager role when he's available and hopefully the odd match. Hell, it could lead to Rock/HHH at Mania 31.

I've kind of thought about it and on a certain level, I don't want them to change it. I want them to proceed, I want it to crash and burn, and I want them to get it through their thick heads that there is nothing to be gained in actively pissing off their fanbase on a yearly basis.

He's actually good at his job and insanely over.

I hope they keep it, just to see them try to hard to get Brock boo and Reigns cheered over him.
The RAW afterwards is going to be fun. That's for sure.

Only way I will pay for Mania is if Bryan vs. Lesnar is 100% confirmed.

Not sure what the Samoan Swat team were about. I only know they were a thing that happened. But yeah I guess it would be like Legacy except they get an added boost by Rock still being relevant. Rikishi could even be a part of this thing. Legacy's dads were too old to do much. We've been wondering who could possibly take out Lesnar. I think the four of them could.

That is pretty much the only possible outcome keeping the match as-is that does not sound like total shit.

"The 'Roman Reigns wins at Wrestlemania 31' commemorative T Shirts have already been printed, it's too late to change the plans now." -Vince Well they can just let him beat Zack Ryder in the pre-show match. Problem solved.
