WZ has learned several backstage WWE plans and opinions regarding talents currently grabbing the attention of management.

To no surprise, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and Bad News Barrett are the three favorites among Vince McMahon, Triple H, Kevin Dunn and others. One source said it's a race to see which of those three gets the world title first.

In terms of future plans and winning a world title, Reigns is almost guaranteed that his winning of his first world title will be special and done at a WrestleMania. Assuming things stay the course, it's very likely that could be next year at WrestleMania 31. As far as who he would work with, the two names that keep coming up are Brock Lesnar and The Rock.

Lesnar is an option but WWE is also considering other potential opponents for him at 'Mania. The Rock has expressed to McMahon personally that he wants to work with Reigns before he retires. On an interesting note, I mentioned to one source The Rock, and it being a title match, which would mean Rock would have to get the title going into WrestleMania and the source responded with "Yes, it would likely happen at Royal Rumble and remember he does technically have a rematch from when he lost the title to Cena."

WrestleMania 31 is still so far away that a lot can happen and many ideas will come across the table, but it seems barring injury or anything big that would get Reigns off-course, he's slated to be the babyface WrestleMania 31 gets built around.

Well if that's true, I'd imagine he needs to break from the Shield in the not too distant future. I can't really picture him winning the title while the Shield is still a thing.

I think Wyatt will get it first, tbh.

DO NOT FUCKING GIVE THE ROCK ANOTHER TITLE RUN. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. THAT'S THE WORST THING IVE HEARD ALL DAY.

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!!! CAN YOU SMELL IT? CAN YOU SMELL IT COMIN'?????   

It's either Rock or Lesnar

By this logic, Lesnar never got a rematch when he lost the title from Guerrero either.

Silly Dead, in WWE's little bubble, 2004 didn't happen.

Neither did that Triple Threat match for the WHC at Wrestlemania between HHH, HBK and CB (no, not CB Punk )

I think we're going to need to support each other through this. Tubs of ice cream and that sort of thing. .

Finally the Rock has come back to the WWE World Championship.

Minky why do you do this to me?

Id need all the ice cream to help with that kind of depression

Now I need ice cream

On a sidenote. If The Rock winning the title again meant a storyline where Roman Reigns beats him for the title at WM, I would be all for it.

Rock doesnt need to be champion to lose to Reigns. Plus, why on earth would you put the belt on a part timer again when it was one of the reasons CM Punk fucking walked out. You want Punk back, then you're going to pull the same shit that caused him to leave in the first place?

No, but Rock would have to have the title in order to lose it to Reigns.

Considering Rock would be a transitional champion, I don't see it as THAT much of a big deal. I'm not saying I'm ok with Rock being champion, but if it means Reigns winning it in a feud that would put him over drastically, so be it.

Overhyped Reigns

^^ the other name in the report was Lesnar.

The Rock should stick to his new DC Comics deal and retire from wrestling completely.

You should eat a dick

You should eat a strudel.
