Whoever wins, we all lose. |
If you’re like me, then you
are probably wondering how in the living hell can the ending of WrestleMania 31
go well.
On one hand, you have Roman
Reigns. He is the 2015 Royal Rumble winner. He has also come under scrutiny for
not being the man the fans want to see win it all. Damned as he tries, he’s not
100% ready for the chance to dance with the lights on bright.
On the other hand, you have
BROCKKKKKKKK LESNARRRRRRRRR! Dramatization aside, he is literally a beast. A
beast that the WWE may not be able to contain within its own confines. He’s a
special attraction superstar who has quite the following with a manager whom
eloquently speaks for him whenever he wants. Plus he has got UFC wanting him
back.
So what do you do? What do
you have to do to throw the fans a memorable swerve?
Use the monkey in the room,
Seth Rollins!
Yep.
For one thing, the placated
happy ending is too passé. Sure there have been endings with bad guys standing
tall before, like Triple H in 2000 and The Miz in 2011.
At the same time, there’s
been a happening, as Gorilla Monsoon would say, that has never happened on the
grandest stage.
This is where Rollins comes
in.
Despite the fact that it’s
been 10 years since Money in the Bank had its inaugural match, not a single
superstar cashed in their contract at WrestleMania.
Not one.
Which is why if it needs to
be done, Rollins is the man to do so.
So without further ado, let
me run you through how I would make this ending stick out. Therefore it would
also create a back door for Lesnar if it just so happens that WWE isn’t in his game
plan in the foreseeable future.
THE MATCH (starting at the
end)
Lesnar had just hit Roman
with the F5. Brock slowly goes over for the cover.
1-2-…
KICK OUT!
This crowd can’t believe it.
Why can’t Roman lose? Or win? Or… well, that’s how undecided this crowd is.
Both men get up with Roman
being able to go into a corner. Lesnar tries to do a shoulder tackle but eats
some ring post.
Lesnar turns around only to
eat a SPEAR!
Roman, who has been beaten up
something fierce, slowly rolls into a cover.
1-2…
KICK OUT!
Roman’s eyes go wider than
Big Show at a buffet table!
As both men get up, Brock
hooks that right arm of Roman’s into a Kimura! Immediately Roman goes to the
ropes, only to get hooked right back in the center of the ring.
After a while of fidgeting,
Roman has to give in.
SUPERMAN TAPS! Brock owns his
ass and the title once more!
Paul Heyman happily grabs the
title and hands it to his client. Lesnar is unconquerable.
Or is he?
J+J Security (Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury) run down and
jump Lesnar from behind. As soon as they do, Seth Rollins joins in on the fun.
Heyman goes from being
shocked to having an evil grin on his face.
“FINISH HIM,” yells the
walrus.
The trio assemble a table,
then Lesnar, into the triple-team powerbomb and connect on it center of the
ring.
Rollins, ever so cocky, hands
in the briefcase.
Reigns has recovered enough
to go at the security team. Only he gets triple-teamed as well.
Roman is forcibly handcuffed
to the ropes as Rollins mocks him. The case is in, and the ref rings the bell!
Brock tries to get up but instead
eats a CURB STOMP.
1-2…
KICKOUT!
WHAT?
Lesnar kicked out on sheer
instinct here.
Brock tries to get up again
but Rollins nails him one more time with the STOMP.
1-2-3!
Rollins is your new WWE World
Heavyweight Champion!
The collective of Rollins,
Mercury, Noble, and Heyman celebrate over the fallen Lesnar. Seems like a
business deal fell through and another business deal got executed all at the same time!
All we know for certain from here is
that a shoot by Heyman with Rollins standing tall is in the offing the next night on RAW.
