We're officially on the road to WrestleMania 32 and three matches have already been confirmed for the event.  

-Roman Reigns vs. Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
-Shane McMahon vs. Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)
-Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar (No Holds Barred Street Fight)

If you look at those 6 competitors, you can see that only 1 is a heel. A part-timer who probably won't have a match until WrestleMania 33... Triple H. Obviously Triple H is not winning that match against Roman Reigns which means we're gonna see 3 babyfaces go over with the wins.

Now, when you think about the top heels in WWE who happen to be full-timers, Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens are the ones who come to mind. But Wyatt and Owens seem to be lost in the shuffle going into the showcase of the immortals but they're the ones who will stick around to compete after WrestleMania. Not Lesnar, not Taker, not Shane nor Triple H. Reigns is gonna need top heels to challenge him for the WWE title.    

Now, I wanna talk about this Big Show/Kevin Owens feud they've been having. If this leads to a match between Kevin Owens vs. Big Show at WM32, what a shame. We all know this has potential to be on the pre-show or the piss break match on the actual card. What a shame for Kevin Owens. Everyone was looking forward to a big money match that could steal the show from the Intercontinental Champion. There are amazing options for him to defend his IC title in a classic 5-star match against guys like AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho and Neville. Instead, from the looks of it, we're getting Big Show vs. Kevin Owens.

I'm not a fan of this Y2AJ tag-team for 2 reasons. 1: With them being a team, you're missing out on 2 big money matches for WrestleMania because now, they're probably gonna be a in a multi-team tag match with no real meaning. 2: Most likely, the team won't last because Jericho will be leaving after WrestleMania. Here's what I would do. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn or Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship where KO wins. AJ Styles vs. Bray Wyatt. Wyatt wins and AJ gets his win back at the next PPV (Payback or Extreme Rules or whatever). That way, the Eater of Worlds finally gets a WrestleMania win after losing to Cena and Taker, Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn having a meaningful feud that leads to a match that fans care about. This Big Show vs. Kevin Owens feud is something they can do for a B-PPV like Battleground of Payback, plus, nobody cares (Proof: go check out the comment section in the Big Show vs. Kevin Owens RAW match on Youtube). Nobody wants to see that match. Fans chant "please retire" at Big Show for a reason, and that reason is not for him to be in an IC title match at Mania, something we've seen before against Cody Rhodes at WM28. This is the future, it is 2016 and they need to realize that Big Show, Kane and Mark Henry are irrelevant, now.

Even Kevin Owens vs. Finn Balor (champion vs champion non-title match) would be a better idea than Big Show vs. Owens. They could tell the story of Owens being cocky that he's no longer the NXT champion, but he is the Intercontinental champion which is more prestigious. Finn Balor can go on to say that the man makes the title, the title doesn't make the man and Finn Balor could defend his point that his NXT Championship has more value because although Owens is on the main roster and has the IC Title, Finn Balor defeated Owens twice in a row in Japan and in Brooklyn which sets up the match for WrestleMania where Owens wins.

The bottom line is this: Kevin Owens had the biggest potential to have a big money match at Mania, instead he's getting a pre-show quality opponent, and it sucks.
As for Bray Wyatt, he could have been the one to face Shane instead of Taker. Why have Undertaker help the authority? Makes no sense. Bray Wyatt would because he's a heel and  it would be fitting for him to be apart of this by saying: "the devil made me do it". Since Shane referred to Vince as the devil. Potential wasted. If if that would have happened, there would be another option for a Kevin Owens opponent at WrestleMania... Undertaker.

The card is really looking disappointing. The only match I can look forward to is the Amborse/Lesner match.

Same.

I'm kind of looking forward to Taker vs. Shane but it just doesn't make any sense for Taker to help the heel authority. It seems as though Brock Lesnar and Taker are tweeners because Lesnar is now acting like a heel in this feud vs. Ambrose but he was a babyface against Rollins at Battleground and against the Wyatts at the Royal Rumble. Undertaker is now acting like a heel giving low blows, helping the authority. Everything is confusing.

WWE should just turn Roman Reigns and go with Dean Amborse as the top guy. WWE just doesn't appeal to causal fans these day and they're not the people watching the show and paying to go to the events.

Roman has been the top dude and RAW keeps getting record low ratings. But it's not Roman's fault. RAW is just a terrible show. I tried to watch a month or two ago and I just couldn't stand it.

"The Undertaker is helping the Authority"

Yes, because he's willingly doing it on his own accord. He even told Vince last night "the blood was on Vince's hands" meaning he's really not okay with the whole situation.

If he's really not okay with the whole situation, then why didn't he just tell Vince "choose someone else". Plus, Vince chose the Undertaker to help him because Vince could've compete himself against Shane. If Taker wins, that means the Authority will still be in charge and not Shane. So, technically, Undertaker is helping the Authority to stay in power. But anyways, we're getting off track. The topic is about Kevin Owens possibly facing Big Show at WrestleMania instead of AJ Styles, Sami Zayn or even Chris Jericho, Finn Balor and Neville.

Except there's been 0 talk of Show wrestling Owens at Mania. There's a rumor going around that there's gonna be another IC Title ladder match at the show.

I heard the Owens/Show match somewhere else. But I heard Dave and Bryan talking about another ladder match this year on Wrestling Observer Radio.

It'll probably be the ladder match. That's terrible booking to do 3 Owens/Show matches on TV and then have a Mania match afterwards. Won't happen.

Man, Dead is the one making the most sense in the wrestling sections lately.

Like I remember some people were thinking New Day were gonna go against LON at WM recently, plus some other silly rumored stuff and now this. Meanwhile, Dead's been spot on in the WWE sections.

I don't even know what Burdur is saying in that post

Also I LOVE that they're going with Y2AJ vs. New Day for WM. All of them are red hot right now and a Jericho heel turn on AJ would've been so predictable. Anything else would've been random / rushing AJ into his next feud. No need to do that when what he's currently doing is perfect.

They could easily have Jericho turn on Styles at WM or shortly after and then put Styles over Jericho one last time before Jericho leaves. Or they could just have Jericho & Styles move on after this and Styles can be built up for a bigger WM match next year.

Maybe it's just that I don't really give a shit about WWE so I have not been paying attention to people's predictions

I agree that I would hate for a Big Show/Owens match for Mania. However, I will say that I've been surprised by the matches they have had. I think Big Show was a great change of pace for Owens, who usually fights smaller guys. Owens looks great in this feud, which Big Show has never really done for anyone.

I think Aj Styles and Jericho will turn on each other for a Jericho vs Styles 4 at Mania.

Kevin Owens has had a few matches with Big Show, which doesn't mean it'll be Owens vs Show. Show might be in this ladder match tho, since Big Show already won the Battle Royal last year

If Styles and Jericho have another match there has to be some kinda stipulation or gimmick attached to the match.

I kinda wish they had ended anything to do with them at Fast Lane. I like them both, but it's time to move on.

I don't know. I was really looking forward to a one on one match from the Intercontinenal Champion in a 5 star match that can steal the show at WrestleMania. I'm hoping Big Show vs. Kevin Owens happens at WWE Roadblock so that it's done and out of the way. This is just not a WrestleMania feud. A perfect WrestleMania match for Kevin Owens is against Sami Zayn or AJ Styles or even Chris Jericho. They should switch things up from WrestleMania 31 by doing a ladder match for United States Championship and a 1 on 1 for the Intercontinental Title. Sure, Big Show might be a change of pace for Owens, but it's not what the fans want to see at WrestleMania.

I can see WWE doing the match at WrestleMania advertising at as KO vs. KO punch and this lame build-up is the best they can come up with, sadly.

They're not doing the singles match.

Last year the majority of the interaction was between Barrett and R-Truth and near the end of that buildup is when they went "OH HEY LADDER MATCH". I would of been happier with Owens/Zayn too but Zayns got a match at Takeover, unless they add him last minute. Otherwise since the PPV after Mania is now Payback they may do that feud there. Owens/Balor in a "who's the best champ" match wouldn't make any sense because Owens just got the belt back. If he would of never lost it to Ambrose I'd say that match could be feasible but he didn't.

I don't see how they'll have Jericho vs. Styles anymore. Unless the Jericho heel turn comes literally this upcoming Monday.

It could very easily come this Monday.

Although, WM 32 is still an entire month away, so I'm not sure why they need to have the turn come this quickly.

If they're doing the singles match, I will look for you, I will find you, and then you'll really be Dead.
