As previously reported, Seth Rollins suffered an injury working an angle with Samoa Joe that may actually end up seeing him removed from WrestleMania plans.
According to Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com, WWE held a meeting today to discuss backup plans in case Rollins is unable to work the scheduled match against Triple H at WrestleMania 33 this year.
Prior to Joe debuting on RAW, the original plan was for Joe to work a program with John Cena on the SmackDown brand. WWE changed their plans and decided to put Joe on RAW instead and work a program with Rollins. Now with Rollins possibly being removed from WWE programming because of his knee injury, WWE is now considering putting Joe on SmackDown to work a WrestleMania program with Cena.
Another idea that was pitched at the meeting today would see an angle with Triple H and Samoa Joe that would eventually lead to a match between the two at WrestleMania.

I really, really, really hope Rollins is good to go for Mania, but, I'd be pretty ecstatic with both Triple H/Joe or Cena/Joe as replacements if he isn't.
I also think, if Balor is ready, Balor/Triple H would be a fun replacement as well.

HHH/Joe writes itself.
Joe wants a title shot for taking out Rollins, HHH won't let him have it and tries to send him back to NXT. Joe chokes him out, they have a match at 'Mania. It's not perfect by any means, but sometimes you've got to make lemonade from vomit.

It's not perfect by any means, but sometimes you've got to make lemonade from vomit. On the flip side, if they wanted to move him over to Smackdown, they can have Triple H thank Joe for taking care of the Seth Rollins problem. Joe asks what's next, Hunter basically says, "what do you mean? I brought you here to take out Seth, and you did." Joe is upset, but doesn't do anything to Hunter. He shows up on Smackdown, chokes out Cena, cuts a promo saying if Triple H doesn't want to give him an opportunity, he'll take it somewhere else, and the way to do that is by taking out the biggest star in the company. Security escorts him out. Shane and Bryan can waver about giving him a deal because he was so ruthless with Cena, Cena demands the match, and we're off. That plays up a couple of things - the underlying McMahon feud (because Shane stole a big name out from underneath Raw), and sets up Triple H/Joe down the line if they want to come back to it. As a bonus, since it seems like we might be getting an AJ turn sooner rather than later, Styles and Cena can have a couple run-ins backstage where AJ basically tells Cena, as a sign a respect, "look, Joe is my friend and I've never seen him this angry and focused before" yada, yada. |

The Rollins/Triple H feud was finally picking up steam. So I'd hate to see them have to drop it. Plus Rollins took it pretty hard last year when he missed WM. So this may kill him.
As for replacement matches... Joe vs Cena would be great. As would Triple H vs Joe. If they go with Joe vs Cena, I wouldn't mind if they booked Triple H vs Zayn. They could have Zayn being disappointed in the man he looked up to while in NXT. Between that and Stephanie not taking Sami seriously, it writes itself. Even if Zayn loses (which he most likely would to keep Trips strong for Rollins' return), the story could elevate him in the eyes of fans.

Even in a loss, it would put Sami in a really good spot coming out of Wrestlemania and lord knows they can use some elevated full-time talent coming out of that show. Sami should really be the Daniel Bryan replacement (to a lesser degree, of course), and at times they've done well with him, but for the most part he's been treated so poorly that he's really been set back. |

I'm not hating on anyone, I haven't even read the posts in the thread. Just wanted to say I LOL'd at the thread title. Of course they will have meetings about WM Plans!

I'm 95℅ certain HHH/Shane is the backup plan if Rollins misses WM.

I would be down for a Triple H/Joe match up and feud but if those two where suppose to be kind of a heel team going forward I would like for them to stay that way and not just hot shot something because Rollins is hurt.Theirs a lot of talent on RAW that could use a big break going up against Triple H & Joe lead to Wrestlemania.Guys that clearly pop to mind are Zayn,Cesaro,Balor if healthy or even a returning Kurt Angle.No need to change things all around over one match being scraped.Hell why not just kill a ton of birds with one stone and go with Triple H & Joe Vs. Sami Zayn & Cesaro at Wrestlemania.Have Zayn and Cesaro stick up for Rollins(have ties back to ROH toegther) and complain about how they've been mistreated for years by Triple H and company and never giving them a fair shot or what the fans want.
I know and angle like this throws Sheamus to the side but I could care less his teaming with Cesaro has been pretty awful and theirs not a lot of chemistry between the two while him and Zayn have loads together as rivals and as a team.
Hell with Chris Hero back in the fold could even go with the Kings of Wrestling Vs. Triple H & Samoa Joe.

If Seth can't go, I'd be all for Shane/HHH. They could incorporate the whole real life backstage struggle into the storyline.

HHH/Shane has been a Wrestlemania feud and match I've wanted ever sense Shane left the WWE back years ago,and really should have been the first match and feud he had upon his return aka WM 32 last year.
The card I've thought about months ago was this,not gonna happen but with the current issues with Rollins right now would have been fine without him.
Styles/Taker-WWE Title
Reigns/Goldberg-Universal Title
HHH/McMahon-Street Fight for control of the WWE
Brock/Angle
Cena/Joe
Rollins/Balor(with Balor out and now Rollins possible no big lose or scrambling to find different match ups)
Jericho/Owens
Big Show/Strowman
Charlotte/Askua-RAW Women's Title
and then some others but that would have been the main card.

Honestly, I rather see Joe vs. Triple H.
I was never sold on Seth vs. Triple H. I just felt that match wasn't gonna be great. But Joe vs. Triple I could see being pretty fantastic. Very hard hitting.

If Rollins has to miss Wrestlemania and they have to shuffle the deck and need a marquee, I would just do Cena/Styles again. I don't know if anyone wants to see it again but it could work. Cena wins the chamber and Styles wins some kind of match to get his one on one title match he earned. Styles would regain the title and Cena would probably leave and do whatever projects he has going on this time.
Don't know what to do with HHH. I like the Sami Zayn idea. Shane McMahon does not need to be in a match.

Seth Rollins issued a statement regarding his knee injury of Twitter. Here is what he wrote:
"Wanted to take a second to thank everyone who has reached out to me over the last two days. Life doesn't always go your way, but that is no excuse to surrender. If anything, obstacles exist to help us grow and evolve. This reinjury to my surgically repaired knee is real and a lot is up in the air right now, but one thing remains constant: my resolve. This doesn't end for me until I've reclaimed the throne. And for me, fighting and defeating Triple H is the only way. I will work harder than I ever have and push myself beyond what I know. This isn't over. The only way to wear the crown is to slay the king. I know what must be done and there's nothing that can stop me."

Is every thread you make literally copied and pasted from a dirt sheet site or something? 🤔 Anyways, sucks Rollins may be missing another WrestleMania. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery.

I don't want HHH being rushed in a feud for no reason, but no way he'll miss performing at WM. So why not do HHH/Ambrose at WM since Dean seems to be in limbo and they had a great match last year at Roadblock.
HHH could go on an ego trip for taking out Seth, and decides to continue by sicking Joe on Roman. Roman gets decimated by Strowman and Joe on next weeks Raw.
In the meantime Dean drops the IC Title to Corbin next week after Miz and AJ interference. In the EC, HHH has Joe interfere and costs Dean his shot. The next night on Raw Roman is getting beat on again until Dean shows up, saying he wants HHH. Foley then reveals that he traded Joe (hours after HHH announces he signed Joe to Raw) and Cesaro to SD for Dean and Kalisto (so he can join the CW division) without telling Stephanie or HHH and furthering the tension between them.
For weeks Dean is on the hunt for HHH, even showing up in front of his and Steph's home while they're at Raw. HHH finally agrees to a match and we have our replacement feud.
This way Dean can slide into Seth's spot and gives him a feud for WM. Kalisto also gets a fresh start in the CW division. Joe goes to SD (like he should have at the start) and can go after Cena. Cesaro also moves to SD to fill in the upper midcard-face role that is sorely lacking on SD and can go after Corbin and the IC Title.
Not perfect but I don't see much else that would make more sense.

Please change it to Triple H vs. Shane McMahon. ANYTHING to get Shane far away from AJ Styles.
