Here's the thing, it's clear some of us are tired of Roman but like...most fans are not. Everybody's holding up the one finger now and totally buying the act.
Even overseas, I think Roman will command more of the audience than we think. Roman beats Drew, Roman walks into Mania as champ. That's where I'm at today, at least. I think the Bloodline story will probably start to come to an end as it stands around Mania next year, but I don't think it ends before that.
It really all hinges on Rock, and right now we've got no real sense either way of where it's going. If it's not Rock/Roman next year, I think you do Sami and KO vs. The Uso's in the Main Event of Night 1 where they could do a first-time-ever Tag Team Title main event at Mania and then Roman vs. Cody on Night 2.

Roman probably wins, and if he does, after a build like this? I think Drew's pretty damn damaged.
Dude's gotten his ass kicked by both Roman AND Kross in this build, had like three vignettes last week about how much he NEEDS to win this match... if he loses in Europe it's just terrible, absolutely terrible, and as much as I've enjoyed HHH's run so far, the Roman song that never ends or never gets a speedbump continuing doesn't bode well, it's already strung out.

For the sake of the WWE and me wanting to watch it: Drew.
But I got a couple bets with people that think Drew is going to win, and I'm perfectly ok with taking easy money. I'm at about 99% that Roman leaves with the title.

It makes all the sense in the world for Drew to win in front of a UK crowd, and I suppose the chances of a hometown crowd leaving depressed are reduced now that Vince is no longer in charge.
Having said that, I just can’t help but feel that Reigns will be kept champion until WrestleMania. Whether it’s Rock or Cody, I feel WWE will want to keep Roman’s reign going until then.
I get that the Bloodline is over but part of me is wondering if that’s nWo syndrome creeping in. If the heels are always kicking ass and looking cool over every face they come up against, then of course people are going to start cheering them.
Kross is also lurking about which gives them an out if they want to have him cost Drew the match.
If it was up to me, I would have Drew win by the skin of his teeth and emphasise that Roman was beaten narrowly. You can then have Roman win the title back at the next PPV and continue on as you need to for WrestleMania.

I keep expecting it to be revealed that the contract is only for the WWE World Title. So that way Roman can lose, but can still keep one title.
The WWE title can be on Drew for a while, Seth wins at the Rumble, Cody returns and wins the Rumble match, boom. Two WM Main Events right there.
Rock vs Roman Cody VS Seth.

The fact that Roman is getting into nWo levels of unbearable dominance is a sign that he needs to suffer some adversity real soon.

Please Drew. This is a beautiful moment just waiting to be served up on a silver platter for HHH’s “new” WWE.
Take what’s given to you!

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve caught myself believing just a little more and more … and maybe it’s the past, but I’m still pretty sure I’m setting myself up for disappointment with the little belief creeping in.

I still think there’s a small chance that McIntyre gets the big win, but with his apparent injuries I’d still peg the odds as fairly low. Would be an amazing moment, though. Could be a temporary setback for Roman even like the Luger title win over Hogan on Nitro.

The WWE title can be on Drew for a while, Seth wins at the Rumble, Cody returns and wins the Rumble match, boom. Two WM Main Events right there. Rock vs Roman Cody VS Seth. I really wish they had set that only one title was on the line as the stipulation from the outset. Roman having both titles just isn't working, and Drew as the champ on Raw would open the door for so many other things. I mean even if Drew is working hurt, Lesnar defended the belt like twice a year, Roman is also slowly drifting towards a part-timer, let McIntrye have the win, and he can still be champ while you build towards SurvSer. Hell you can even get rid of the stupid brand warfare shit, and go back to traditional teams, that way Drew can still take it easy on his body and rest up for the Rumble title match. It'd be stupid easy to book, and it would be a HUGE win in his backyard. The pop alone would make it onto video promo packages like Davey's did for years. On top of all of that Drew has his momentum back. Feels important again. And to waste that all on ROMANWINSLOL just to have Cody win it at WM with 68 crossrhodes is going to feel very disappointing.

Something I just thought of... Drew wins both belts. Then on RAW Theory cashes in MITB and takes the WWE title. Theory can drop the title at the next ppv to Seth. Drew can have a nice run, eventually dropping it back to Roman at either Day 1 or the Rumble .

Theory will cash in mid match, Drew pins Theory, Heyman successful points out that Theory's MITB contact was only for the WWE Title so Roman is still Universal Champ.

I'm more using him as a plot device to get the belt on Seth.

I just can't see Drew losing. The Bloodline beatdown on Friday and the BT Sports promo video they did for Drew to hype CaTC pretty much signals that he has a strong chance of winning.

Roman better win. There's literally no reason for Drew to win other than to try and recreate the pop Davey Boy got in 92.

I'll probably be in minority that thinks Drew is winning but doesn't want him to win. After this entire run Drew winning would feel anti climatic to me and I like Drew. Drew has already faced damn near everybody already so that any potential title match with him is just a retread of something we've already seen.
But Drew has to win, he'd look like such an idiot if he doesn't. I just hope they don't do a Theory mid match cash in and have Drew win by beating him. That would be the worst case scenario for me. We would have endured this long reign just for Roman to not even being the one to get beat.

And because it'd cement Clash at the Castle as a major deal for future shows... And instantly freshen up the stalest aspect of the show... And give Drew a huge moment in front of a crowd after his entire main event run before this took place in empty buildings... And he's looked terrible through this entire build because even back in April Roman was owning him at every possible turn... And it'd end this dogshit reign that's been going on for two goddamn years with zero purpose behind it....
