Brock losing is the single most important thing this show needs to have happen, but emotionally pseaking the Kofi story has me so emotionally on the hook that if it's done I'm basically sitting in my friend's kitchen with a bottle of rum until my lift is ready to leave. I think overall Bryan winning is the one that would sting the most. Ronda and Brock retaining are horrible decisions but they at least feel like decisions, if they weren't going to pull the trigger on Kofi then why do all of this? It would be such a HEAT FOR HEAT'S SAKE move and I could easily see it being a ratings plummet moment as a whole bunch of fans decide f*** it and don't come back.

Brock. I don’t feel that the fans are necessarily “owed” the champion that they want, but they are owed a champion who will be there to defend. Same goes for Ronda if she’s planning to take some time off.

I can see Brock retaining just because of the thrall he has over Vince and they've shown they're not afraid to do it before since he beat Roman who is the golden child. Also I can see them not wanting 3 title changes in one night and if Becky and Kofi are going to win then Seth could be the fall guy. The crowd would be upset but it wouldn't cause a riot or anything since we've been here before.
Becky is the culmination of months and months of building and building her up and the story deserves a classic Mania ending. Also with the way they'll want to brag about it to their beloved "mainstream media" there's no way in hell they're ending the first ever women's main event with boos raining down on everyone. I know they love getting that sweet sweet heat but I really don't think they're that stupid.
Kofi losing would make me the maddest because he's been one of my faves for years and years and the fact he's "fluked" his way into a title match is just awesome and the way they've framed the feud he HAS to win.
The way they did that kinda meta "apology" promo about how shitty the show was makes me think they might actually go for the feel good stories this year. Hopefully all the good guys win and we'll get one of those photos with all the champions like from when Punk was around that we can look back on in 5 years with tearful smarky nostaglia.

Kofi losing, no doubt.
To me, that's nearly as bad as Booker losing to HHH at Mania 19 and it'll pretty much be a wrap on me watching WWE shows.

With Kofi, it would be dumb, but it could logically make sense if it helped him get out of New Day and become a singles superstar.
With Charlotte. It would literally just be WWE trolling us. I would cancel my account if she won.

One of these is going to happen, right? You mean "most of those."

Charlotte only because it makes the least amount of sense.

Bryan would make me the most upset out of all of those options, but none of them would actually anger me at all.
I like Ronda, I love Charlotte, I mark out for Bryan's current gimmick, and I just don't care as much about the Brock/Seth match.

It's just f***ing wild that we're at a point where a Daniel Bryan win at WrestleMania is the option that would piss people off the most, when it was the opposite not too long ago.

As long as Kofi and Becky win, I'm cool with the rest of it. I fully expect Lesnar to retain now so they can do a triple threat later, get the belt back on Roman, and then do Roman/Seth through the summer.

Best heel in the game, folks. I was into the heel turn when it first happened, but even I wasn't sure if he'd get the heel reactions he's been getting.

Board Meltdown scenario:
1. Bork wins 2. Ronda wins, unifies both titles, and takes time off (she "borks" the women's belts) 3. Kofi loses in a squash match a la Bundy/SD Jones

I don't think I'd be upset at any. But Charlotte winning would be the weirdest. Like, where do you go following that? Another series of matches with Becky? At least if Ronda won, we might get that singles match most of us originally wanted. But with Charlotte, it's just more of the same going forward.

One of these is going to happen, right? I would be shocked if we get three "happy ending" outcomes at "Wrestlemania XXXV," so I feel like one of these outcomes has to come to fruition. I also wouldn't be surprised if another obstacle is thrown in Kingston's way, in the form of them continuing this anti-Kofi, Vince McMahon angle where he makes the WWE Championship a multi-person match with the inclusion of Kevin Owens, or turning Kofi Kingston's opportunity into a two-on-one handicap match with him having to take on both Rowan and Daniel Bryan.

I've been saying this whole time the Kofi story needs to be as convoluted as Becky/Ronda/Charlotte.* *I've never, at any point, said this.

Charlotte, easily. She absolutely does not need to have another accolade handed to her.
I'd be okay with Ronda winning, and I'd rather Kofi not win.
Lesnar and Rollins are pretty much nonentities to me at this point in time, especially considering they're fighting over the utterly worthless Fruit Roll-Up Championship.

Just Kofi. I'm not invested in any others as "must wins".

Honestly none of them would upset me.
The build to virtually every match has been botched in some fashion:
Kofi? this is the one that has the heart strings, even if he loses it sets up so much in the future for Bryan/Useless Ginger/New member vs. The New Day. And Bryan has been killing it in his heel role, and I think there's an argument to be made for both men winning.
Brock? I have no attachment to Seth winning, would like to see someone not The Shield face Lesnar at WM, and the ship on me caring about this match sailed when they didn't do The Demon vs. The Beast. If Seth wins, awesome. If Brock wins, who cares, he's dropping it to Roman soon I imagine. I won't care about the title either way.
Triple Threat? They completely destroyed any hype they had with overbooking and nonsense story direction. Becky's going to win, but I wouldn't hate it if Charlotte won. If Ronda retains (or not) then call up Shayna so I can get that match before Ronda hangs it up for good.
I mean I'll be rooting for Kofi, and Becky, but nothing would make me mad because they either didn't go with, or ruined, anything I had interest in.
At this point I'll be more upset if they actually go through with Kurt vs. Boring Corbin and Corbin wins the f***ing match.
