Smackdown needs star power. If Drew is out for an extended period of time with his neck (would have picked him if he wasn't injured), then I would suggest having Styles or Rollins win and then jump to SD to challenge Reigns. I don't know many other guys who could carry a main event program who haven't worked with Reigns already during this run (I.e. Owens, Balor, Edge, etc...) I like the idea of a Rollins/Reigns match. I really felt they missed the boat on that when Rollins got drafted, but having this version of each character having a their first one on one Mania match would be awesome.

Genuinely haven't a clue who will win this year. Probably the first time since 2017 that there wasn't a clear cut favourite.

There’s nobody on the roster who is credible to face Reigns in a WrestleMania main event, other than Rollins, Lashley or Lesnar. If the Rumble winner goes for Reigns at Mania: Lesnar If the Runble winner goes for Brock/Lashley at Mania: Big E

Lashley beats Brock with help from Roman. Big E wins the Rumble to face Lashley. Brock wins the Chamber, probably entering last and pinning everyone else to face Roman.

I wish Ronda would return and win the womens. Give us Ronda/Becky proper.

I think Raw could survive on; a 2nd Lashley title run with more compelling feuds; a mentally insane Rollins running around or even Edge. Styles has been out of the main event so damn long; but you can add him.
Cliche route You could go the simple route Reigns screws Brock in the bottom of the hour at the Rumble. Reigns could be furious about Lesnar getting all this attention and all this must see to him. Reigns runs in; allowing Lashley to regroup and win. Lashley takes the title. Lesnar enters the Rumble and wins; and sets up Lesnar and Roman.
-Issues Lashley is going to have tough time finding a program to go into Mania. Orton and Riddle are going to take Mania. Big E program just will fall flat to me. Maybe some babyface crazy Rollins? Or maybe Edge getting the victory? I think that's pretty dead ended. I wouldn't mind Kofi getting a second shot at a run with the title if that could be booked in. Hell; even Cena coming back to face Lashley at Mania would be alright. Lesnar wins the Rumble just to set up a second match in the program. Which ehhhhh I really don't care to see.
Triple Threat? Cliche Lesnar almost wins the Rumble; but is eliminated by say AJ Styles. Someone who has darkhorse story in the Rumble; say someone like Styles who turns face in this upset journey to win the Rumble. Setting up Styles to invoke his Mania match; at the next PPV. With something tying up Lesnar and this big title match happening on PPV. Lesnar in some dramatic way crashes the match. Setting up a Triple Threat. We could have this same story; with Rollins putting on such a fight with Reigns he turns face. And Rollins pursuing some rematch with Lesnar winning the Rumble. Some dramatic Triple Threat is set up.
Or go down this two man powertrip set up where the two make peace; but it's all a set up by both of them to get over on the other with some blowup happening at Fast Lane. With Roman costing Brock the title to whomever. Leading to Roman-Brock.
Or Roman and Brock both go to Mania to fight for both belts. Which I really really don't want to see.
I honestly think Mania's this year is going to be tough one to book with how low star power is.
It's nice not knowing but; I really don't think were in for a good Mania this year.

Anyway can't wait to see Brock or Goldberg win

Who on the roster has never held a world title but would be a credible WrestleMania main eventer if they won the Rumble this year? Damian Priest mainly. They had more, but released them over the past year and/or gave them the title (Lashley, Big E)

Adrenaline, in my soul! Something, something Cody Rhodes 🎶🎶.
It would never happen, but he's technically working without a contract right now, and it would work so well with his delusional Babyface whose actually a heel gimmick he's got going on. Heading back to aew the Wednesday after the rumble bragging about breaking down the real forbidden door.

Damien Priest > Punishment Martinez.

At this point I’m going to predict Omos. Big E and Brock are back-ups.

Priest would have been cool 6 months ago, but this new anger management gimmick is the absolute pits.
