Andy Will Be Angry If…: WWE WrestleMania 31 Edition

Brock Roman

WWE Championship

Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns

Yeah, I know. You wanted Daniel Bryan to win the Rumble, you’re sick of Roman Reigns, blah blah blah. Shut up. You’re getting this match whether you like it or not. You’re paying to see this show, whether you like it or not. You may as well try to enjoy it, since it doesn’t make ANY sense to pay for something that’s going to make you miserable.

If you look at this match like Brock Lesnar is the big babyface who chose to stick around and wrestle for the next 3 years, and Roman Reigns is the heel who is pretty much the personification of the Seth Rollins character (hand-picked as the next big thing, forced down your throat, protected by management… think about it)… you’ll like this story a lot more.

It’s not a coincidence that you’ve been left to salivate for Brock appearances, or that Brock got 8 minutes of airtime on ESPN this week. This match is a big deal… even if you don’t necessarily like it.

I’ll be angry if: Roman gets a big babyface win over heel Brock Lesnar. Even though it’s predictable, what’s predictable is often so because it’s what makes the most sense. Despite 2 years of booking, the crowd is turning on Roman, and it’d be ill-advised to ignore that. Listening to the crowd and turning your pet projects gave us The Rock.

I’ll keep my cool if: Roman Reigns wins the title after turning heel, turns after winning. Roman wins as a face, but then loses the belt to Seth Rollins. Seth Rollins cashes in against face Brock Lesnar, and LOSES – giving us a mini Shield reunion with both guys chasing Brock.

I’m expecting: Roman wins the title clean, gets murdered by Brock after being suckered in with a handshake, and then falls victim to Seth Rollins and the Money in the Bank briefcase. Brock, Roman and Randy Orton spend the next few months chasing the champ.
