I suppose both outcomes are positive in the Braun/McIntyre option, whereas with Lesnar/Rollins you'd have Braun lose yet again to Brock..... buuuuut Rollins is my favorite in WWE right now along with Styles, so I'd have to go with him taking down Lesnar. It also feels like a real show closing Mania moment, if it's not the women.

Whichever way they choose to go with the Universal Championship should give us a huge hint into how next year's shakeup will break down. If they aren't planning to swap world titles I would expect to see Rollins defeat Brock for the title then stay on Raw. If they take the Braun/McIntyre route (or Styles challenges Lesnar via winning the Rumble, my idea), I can see Seth being sent to SDL for Styles.
If Rock comes back and wins the belt, fudge it.

People keep saying we're getting Ronda vs Becky, and we absolutely should, but I feel like they're going to jam Charlotte in there, too. Especially if they are going to main event Mania, which seems highly probably. Something like Charlotte wins the Rumble and the two champions are both campaigning to face her over unresolved feuds and that's how they all end up in the same match. To the point where I wouldn't be surprised if she actually beats them both. In the absence of Roman, we have his female counterpart to close the show. |

Braun for the win over Brock at the Rumble because he's lost too many times already, but wouldn't have him lose to McIntyre at Mania either. But there isn't anyone else to challenge him, and Drew shouldn't be losing.
I'd like to see the Rollins-Ambrose feud get hotter and culminate in a Mania match.
So of the two options in the OP, I'll go with Rollins winning the Rumble and vanquishing the Beast.

I’m torn, as both sound like good ideas.
However if the rumors of Rock wrestling at Mania are true, as someone mentioned Rock vs Brock would be the money match.
Have Braun defeat Brock at the Rumble for the Title and then have Seth win the Rumble.
Then it could be...
Braun vs Seth for the Universal Title (Rollins slays the Monster)
Brock vs Rock (Money Match that will pull in media interest)
Drew vs Cena ( as someone suggested earlier, would give Drew huge momentum if he goes over Cena)
Rhonda vs Becky (vs Charlotte maybe)
Aj vs Bryan vs Miz for the WWE Title
Sounds like a good show to me, and we haven’t even got to the undercard.

If Rock comes back to win the Rumble and dethrone Brock that would be awesome lmao. Easy way to screw the fanboys again but also a way to get rid of the Universal Title. Have Rock leave with it and bring back the Big Gold Belt. The red belt is atrocious.

I'd be down for McIntyre winning the title

I'm absolutely against Vince's. You surely can't have Braun Strowman finally win his first WWE Championship, slay the Beast Brock Lesnar, only to just go and lose two months later at Wrestlemania and become an afterthought again. I mean I'd love to see McIntyre have a run, and it would be extremely refreshing to see this kind of a Main Event, with no real Attitude era or big poster stars, but it just doesn't feel right, and I'm not sure Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre has the power to headline Wrestlemania. Plus, having Lesnar beat Braun Strowman last time around to win the vacant Title only to lose it to the same person, would make no sense at all. They'd have been better off giving Braun a solid 8 month run with it before losing to Drew at Wrestlemania.
Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins would probably be the next best thing, and would definitely have that David vs Goliath feel to it, and I'm sure if they really pushed this hard that Seth Rollins could gain something close to Daniel Bryan momentum. I'd be shocked that Vince doesn't want Lesnar to keep the belt heading into his UFC Fight though.
One thing is for sure, and that's that the WWE are now seriously running out of high profile marquee matches. Even outside of the normal big name attitude stars, they've thrown away a lot of big genuine dream wrestling matches at the likes of Survivor Series and on Network Specials/Smackdown's.

McMahon has the right idea. McIntyre should be at the top. 🤦🏽♂️ |

Surprised that AJ winning the Rumble and facing Lesnar isn't an option. All of the matches with Brock have been great and having AJ on Raw could really freshen up the show.

That's the idea I've been pushing, even over Seth. The writers made a strong argument that Styles could beat Lesnar thru their SS promos, but was robbed of the opportunity when Bryan won the title. Based on earlier stories Vince is pretty high on AJ Styles, and supposedly the reason he isn't on Raw already is Vince didn't want Reigns and Styles sharing a show (which is not a problem at the moment). Heck, there were suggestions Survivor Series wasn't meant to be a Raw vs Smackdown theme because Vince didn't want those two facing each other as World Champions. Maybe they think Seth or Braun or Drew need the rub more, and maybe they are right. But Styles winning the title over Lesnar would be a huge moment of vindication for him. |

It's easy to overlook what's on SD when thinking about the Universal title picture. I personally think Drew needs more time before getting the Universal title. He hasn't done anything outside of tagging with Ziggler since returning. I know the IC title just changed hands but I think it would have been more profound if McIntyre beat Rollins for the IC title and had a good few month reign with it while Lesnar and Strowman fight over the Universal title. An easy fix would be Rollins costing Ambrose the title in a defense against McIntyre, especially since Ambrose and Rollins are just beginning their new feud. Then, with McIntyre as an established champion (and sole singles champion on Raw each week), he would be more groomed and fit to compete for the Universal title at WM if they went that way. One of my let peeves with WWE is throwing a world title on someone before holding a mid-card title. |

One of my let peeves with WWE is throwing a world title on someone before holding a mid-card title. I agree. McIntyre was supposedly the highlight of the DrewDolph team, but he was still brought up as Ziggler's muscle. That idea never gelled with me even if it was pretty successful. And then he just gave a win to Dolph, and that seems more wrong just on appearance. The guy could have been more ready for a World Championship if he was brought up solo and was treated as a midcard title contender from the start, in my opinion. And I realize this is only my fantasy booking, and at this point is beating a dead horse, but of all the up-and-comers WWE have had over the years, McIntyre strikes me as the one that would have been most capable of shouldering the weight of ending The Undertaker's Streak. It would be a longshot booking decision, but retiring Taker would still have its perks... |

At this point I don't care what they do as long as they've forgotten about doing more than one WM per year.
