First off, CM Punk walks into the event still WWE Champion. No reason he shouldn't have been, no reason he shouldn't have had a WM main event. Woulda been day 504, if I calculated correctly. He beats Rock at the Rumble and Cena wins like real life. At EC, we get Punk/Sheamus for the title and Rock/Cena for Cena's title shot. Have the Shield come out and beat both down: double DQ. Save us from the finisher-fest that was Cena/Rock II and make it a three-way for the title. Have Cena pin Rock, avenging his loss from last year and winning the title from Punk, who looks strong afterward. Cena vanquishes the two biggest thorns in his side in the biggest main event of Wrestlemania lore.

Where does that leave 'Taker? Have him face Brock then instead of waiting a year. it, Brock wins here too. He lost his return to Cena and vows to not lose again. That starts with breaking HHH's arm at Summerslam. He challenges Undertaker and he beats him. No one expects it, and he can ride the wave of momentum into Summerslam, where he dethrones Cena. From there replace Orton with Brock and there's your Wrestlemania XXX main event too. Also, Triple H doesn't need to wrestle here, he doesn't need to be on the card, it's okay. Make it look like Brock ended his career. Have him come back at Survivor Series 2013 and challenge (unsuccessfully) for Brock's title).

Yay, Del Rio wins the World Title. He defends it inside the Elimination Chamber. IMMEDIATELY after the match, Dolph cashes in and wins. Jericho becomes #1 contender (I don't wanna flat-out say he wins contendership in the Chamber because that'd mean there were two WHC-related chamber matches). Build revolves around Jericho wanting to exact revenge for Dolph terminating his contract after Summerslam. Here's Dolph's Wrestlemania singles match.

Team Hell No needs some formidable heels to challenge for the belts. Big Show is challenger #1; puts him on the show without giving him a three-week face run like real life. An obvious choice for partner is Mark Henry but that would leave Bryan without a dude he could go back-and-forth with. Enter United States Champion Antonio Cesaro, who gets his Wrestlemania debut and a viable opponent (for half the match) in Bryan. He'd lose the US belt at Extreme Rules in a triple threat with Ambrose and Kofi.

The Shield needs a match. Orton and Sheamus make up two-thirds, but Show is off fighting for the tag titles. Alberto Del Rio could viably be the third man, especially if WWE was hellbent on keeping the dude face.

Ryback vs. Mark Henry. Only with the Big Guy actually hitting ShellShocked and winning.

Are there any ways I can have an IC Title defense without putting The Miz in the spotlight of it? If it is alright with you, I'd return the championship scramble. Barrett, Miz, Kofi, Jack Swagger (with Real American propaganda), and Christian (assuming he was healthy by then? I don't remember). Barrett or Swagger wins and saves the world from a 24-hour Miz reign.

And the pre-show can be Rhodes Scholars/Bellas vs. Tons of Funk/Funkadactyls.

Bray hasn't looked good since the build-up to Wrestlemania XXX. He lost all his steam with Cena, not to mention he dropped the first match in his series with Jericho, a dude who put over everyone (even Fandango) in the last three years. He loses his followers, forcing him to do things on his own--basically his only aura of general heel heat came from Rowan and Harper interrupting matching and wreaking havoc. Without them, he hasn't consistently gotten the people to boo him--it's either a general cacophony of noise or silence and confusion. He entered the feud with Ambrose in a "lose-lose" feud, one where neither dude coulda afforded to lose because both lost tons of steam. Sure, he had a long showing in the Rumble but it was plagued by being the dude who deflated the crowd by eliminating Bryan. Then some confusing nonsense with 'Taker, losing MORE steam because he wasn't gonna win anyway so why fight 'Taker, a confusing one-off with Ryback, and the eventual loss to Reigns.

The dude could be gold if he had more direction than some vague motivation for attacking good guys. If it was all for someone, or because he's reaping their power, or SOMETHING viable, tangible, something I as a wrestling fan can pinpoint and go, "okay, THAT'S why he's doing it. That makes sense in the bizarro world of wrestling." I love the dude as a wrestler but I can't stand the way he's handled.
