So now that we see where some of the matches are going I decided to do one more card that's half what's been booked already and half how I would book things moving forward.
Pre-Show: IC Title Match – Big E Langston (c) vs Ryback: Classic big man matchup. The two do a lot of impressive power moves in a short matchup that Langston retains the belt in.
Brother vs Brother – Cody Rhodes vs Goldust: Cody turns heel on his brother during a tag title shot at Elimination Chamber and they fight a fierce personal rivalry. Cody beats Goldust and sends his older brother away for a while.
Tag Title – New Age Outlaws (c) vs Usos vs Wyatt Family: Pretty simple concept. NAO keeps the belts until Mania where Usos and Wyatt Family both get built up as big time challenges to the belts with a lot of heat with the Outlaws for different reasons. Usos walk away with the belts and a rivalry with the Wyatt Family that will continue.
Crack in the Shield – Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns: After breaking up at the Elimination Chamber the trio goes on to fight each other at Mania. Dean Ambrose picks up the victory.
Mixed Tag Match – Fandango and Summer Rae vs Justin Gabriel and Emma: Gabriel pairs up with Emma in a semi-romantic, semi-managerial role. The teams clash and lead to a mixed tag match at Mania. Fandango pins Gabriel for the win.
Fight the Power – Kane w/HHH vs CM Punk: CM Punk returns at Elimination Chamber from the crowd to help Bryan win the match and advance to WrestleMania in the main event and prevent the Authority from interfering to help Orton retain. As punishment for his act, HHH and Kane make Punk’s life hell and lead to this No-DQ match where Punk gets his victory and a #1 Contender shot.
Grudge Match – Bray Wyatt vs Dolph Ziggler: Bray turns his attention on the Show Off after Ziggler celebrates a victory. A classic feud playing off the personality differences of the two builds from there. Ziggler beats Wyatt in a fantastic match.
US Title Match – Kofi Kingston (c) vs Antonio Cesaro vs Damien Sandow vs Christian: Kofi takes the belt off of Ambrose one night on RAW so that Dean can fight with the Shield. Kingston then gets into a situation where all three men start gunning for his title. Cesaro gets the win to take the US championship. Starting a rivalry with Jack Swagger soon after.
Grudge Match – John Cena vs Bad News Barrett: One week during Barrett’s announcements Cena decides to interrupt and say that the crowd doesn’t need to hear any of his bad news tonight. Later that night Barrett interferes in a Cena match and knocks him out saying he has bad news for Cena. From there the two set off their rivalry. Cena wins the match.
The Streak – Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar: Not my favorite match for Taker this year, but also sort of the only one I have left for him with how the rest of the card plays out. Nonetheless the two put on a great showing in a personal rivalry and a physical match. Undertaker gets the win.
Divas Title – AJ Lee (c) vs Tamina Snuka: Tamina turns on AJ the night after Elimination Chamber while she brags about another victory that Tamina helps her get. Tamina wins the belt to start a new reign and take the championship in a different direction.
WWE Title – Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan (c) vs Batista: Bryan wins the belt in the Elimination Chamber, Batista still has his shot while Orton gets a re-match. I’d have Bryan pin Batista to get the win and retain the belt.
