Unless you’ve been living under a rock as a wrestling fan, you’ve heard of the controversial ending to WWE’s Royal Rumble match. WWE superstar Roman Reigns won the match, only to face a sea of boos and online negativity. WWE saw a lot of negative comments from fans, but also from the media. National and international media all covered the event due to how massive a reaction fans across the world had.

The company is by no means blind. Many thought that WWE would not come close to recognizing the boos or negativity on their TV shows. However, on both WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown, WWE addressed the critics. On RAW, WWE tried to tease the potential WWE WrestleMania 31 main event as it stands now. While many fans loved the Paul Heyman promo, few were sold on Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

A lot of people think that Reigns is by no means ready to be in the main event while others more deserving have been passed over. This year alone his Shield brethren of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have been more impressive. Others like Dolph Ziggler have shown major promise as well. In addition, WWE still has Daniel Bryan, who has a massive fan base behind him.

So what is WWE to do when there is a problem such as this?

Like last year, WWE has to consider changing the main event and it looks like they might do so.

Storyline WWE COO and real life WWE Executive Triple H mentioned on Thursday’s LIVE WWE SmackDown broadcast that he would have an announcement on WWE RAW this Monday. The announcement would concern the current WrestleMania 31 main event. He claimed his announcement would rock the WWE Universe to it’s core. It is uncertain what he means by this, but fans are hopeful.

Many fans believe WWE is teasing a change to the WrestleMania 31 main event. The idea that WWE could change it is a big deal. Many wonder why WWE does not listen to it’s fans until major issues such as this come up.

A lot of people were mad at the Rumble match as a whole. Some are cool with Reigns winning, but not in the way WWE made it happen by virtually burying all of the WWE favorites on the way to his win. In an effort to “make Roman Reigns look strong,” they buried people such as Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan, and Dean Ambrose. That was the real kicker to WWE fans. In addition to that, Reigns still won. So the way WWE handled the event as a whole was the first issue, then the winner was the second.

WWE had to change WrestleMania up last year when Batista won the Rumble to fans’ hatred as well.

What is interesting is that despite the sizable negative reaction for that match last year, this year’s controversy has sparked even more hatred. Yet WWE changed the event last year, so one would imagine that WWE would do similar this year with even more hatred coming about.

What WWE changes the main event into is up in the air. Roman Reigns cannot be removed from the match, as he still won the Rumble match. Obviously WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar also cannot be removed. So WWE would have to change the match to a triple threat, fatal four way, or something along those lines.

Many believe a fatal four way is possible, as WWE would not want to have two triple threat matches on two straight WrestleMania main events.

Triple H is teasing a major announcement, so the WrestleMania main event could be much bigger than either one of those matches. However, if it only includes the two men currently in the match, fans will not be satisfied.

Regardless of what WWE does, it is terrific that they are at least listening to the WWE fans. WrestleMania is the biggest event of the year, so it needs to be big. The main event has to be one fans want to see. If few fans are for it, WWE has no alternative but to change it.

It'll be some stip or something. I mine who else is there to put in this match?

I mean WWE have got there main feuds for the road

Cena/Rusev
Sting/HHH
Rollins/Orton
Ziggler/Bryan(Maybe)
Wyatt/Taker(Maybe)

That's pretty much all there top talent booked, besides Dean Ambrose whom they won't book in this match as it wouldn't help the case with Reigns(possibly) winning this match. Only idea I have is as an added bonus with the Andre The Giant Battle Royal, have the winner be added in to the match. This allows a plan B if they wanna send the fans home happy at WM. Because last thing they need is the the whole crowd booing through there main event. Especially the reactions Reigns has been getting when he is suppose to be the next face of the WWE.

I think the winner of the Battle Royale could work. Especially because last year it meant absolutely nothing. It was "LOOK CESARO WON! RECOGNITION AND A TROPHY!" and then nothing.

The problem with doing that is 1) it makes the Royal Rumble seem a little pointless because now someone else gets the same title shot and 2) people would go "SO IS IT A YEARLY THING?! TRIPLE THREAT MAIN EVENTS FOR WRASSLAMENIA?"

I would prefer seeing Cena vs. Rusev at Fast Lane in a non-title match. Have Rusev defeat John Cena and then at WrestleMania 31: United States Champion Rusev vs. Ryback where Ryback finally wins his first championship in WWE and ends Rusev's streak at the same time.

^ The problem with that is if Rusev beats Cena clean, but Ryback beats Rusev clean, that's saying Ryback > Cena and you know the WWE won't do that, especially if Roman is supposed to beat Brock. Because that's already saying Roman > Cena. Can't have TWO people be over Cena. That's just unheard of

And if Rusev beats Cena unfairly, then I doubt the WWE would just scrap the rematch.

The only way youd get Rusev/Ryback at Wrestlemania is if they added Cena to the main event at the last minute, because if Ryback gets the shot at Rusev, where does that leave Cena?

The Fast Lane match will more than likely end in a DQ leading up to the Mania rematch where Cena will win the US Title.

I could see them making the Main event a Fatal Four way

Reigns vs Brock vs Cena vs Bryan


ends with Seth Cashing in the MITB

I don't think Cena will challenge for the US title. It will most likely be a non-title match where Rusev loses but still has the US title to still look strong

I don't know how I feel about this, I wouldn't mind a change to the match as I think anything could be better, but they really missing out on an opportunity. Whoever beats Brock 1v1 at this point would look strong af, don't think you'd get the same feeling if he lost in a triple threat or fatal four way.

I think his announcement will be a shot at the people that want change, trying to spark a bigger reaction. IF they add someone, it won't be until after Fast Lane.

What if Undertaker interferes at WM 31 and causes Brock to lose, getting his revenge?

That would be awesome.

Interference that leads to nothing? .

That leads to Brock Lesnar getting his ass beat.
