This is the first time I can remember in Roman's reign where it's 50/50. There's several factors in this: - Roman Reigns taking more time off - Drew McIntyre's hometown - USA pushing for a world champion - Triple H now in charge This would be the biggest moment of McIntyre's career, by far. But fans would riot if McIntyre loses. Also, keep in mind "Rock versus Roman" in Hollywood and the pending 1,000 day reign. It comes down to Triple H's commitment. Is he committed to the plan Vince set forth? Or is Triple H going to be bold enough to carve his own path? We'll find out Saturday. I don’t think fans would riot if Drew loses lol. The European tour not too long ago was the first time Roman started getting chants and face pops. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the crowd is like 60/40 for Drew

I will say, while I don't think Roman winning would be an outright bad booking decision — he's still entertaining as champ, the crowd still loves him, he's still got some interesting challengers like Lashley, Seth and Cody to run through — McIntyre needs a win a hell of a lot more than he does. A non-title feud with Karrion Kross after all that buildup is gonna be such a wet fart.

A Roman win wouldn’t kill Drew and Drew’s probably got a stronger chance than ever now, but I don’t see WWE putting the big climax of the Bloodline Reign on an event smaller than a Wrestlemania. So I have Roman as a *slight* favorite.
I’d like to be wrong though as Drew would get a massive boost just by taking one belt, and it frees up more interesting Wrestlemania main event ideas.

Damn, this poll is literally split 50/50 right now. Who else is refreshing the thread every minute to see if someone's jumped ahead?!

I'm going with Drew on this one. They've built this up too much for him to lose. This will also make up for his missed big "moment" at Mania 36 without the crowd.

I keep thinking “it’ll be Roman” and then “shit, maybe it WILL be drew”. Rinse and repeat. As the post above me alluded to (and quite a few wrestling pundits) this is the third shot to reset Drew.

Drew wins. Theory cashes in.
Theory leaves with both belts as it's already been said the MitB is for both belts.

Reigns winning another one of his boring interference matches here after they already tried to gouge the audience during a massive cost of living crisis would kill the territory.
By which I mean the entire UK.

On a related note, BT Sport has been doing these incredible video packages leading up to this weekend.
I didn't get the love for "Broken Dreams" before, and now I totally understand why it'd be sick if he showed up with it this weekend. The lyrics are kind of perfect.
I want to see more regular WWE video packages with this cinematic look, not just their broadcast partners.

I like this as a way to progress the Roman saga. Maybe even a Usos face turn. Finally give Jey a IC or US run as a babyface. maybe split the usos up for a year would be cool.

I feel there’s storyline potential with a Roman Reigns who lost his title and now feels like his iron grip over WWE is being undermined.

I already said this before, I always wanted Cody to win since he had a better story of his dad never capturing the WWF belt but now man. It’s kinda hard not to cheer for drew like the guy is already genuinely a lovable guy and his promos recently have been really good.

By which I mean the entire UK. Not sure if it'd 'kill the territory' per se, but it would absolutely be a huge missed opportunity. WWE has been cold for years, but a big PPV on UK soil under a new regime is a perfect chance to reignite the fire UK fans have for the product. A big happy ending will do that.

I honestly don’t even care if they protect Roman by having Theory run in, cash in to make it a triple threat, and Drew pins Theory for the win. I just want Drew walking out of Saturday champion. Hell if you do this, you can even have Roman complain that he wasn’t the one who got pinned or submitted and demand a rematch at a later PPV and that’s how you get Rock involved, he costs Roman the rematch. I firmly believe Rock/Roman doesn’t need the belts involved at all. Have Cody vs Drew for the belts at Mania, imo.

Because I really don't want to see Drew as a heel.
