I saw that Cena may go over Lesnar for Reigns vs. Cena at Mania. It's a shame. Reigns has the tools to be a top guy eventually, but they've booked him (and Ambrose) to be lamer versions of their cool selves and it's now killing them. It hurts Reigns more obviously as he's the less polished performer of those two.

They need to do everything they can and get Daniel Bryan healthy and in the main event of Mania immediately. He's the only guy who can do it.

A lot of this goes back to what CM Punk said in his shoot. While he said this about Wrestlemania main events, I think it's true overall.

These guys need experience working top matches before they get to the main event. Last summer we all talked about Roman Reigns and how he can't wrestle a good 1 v 1 match. I thought the match with Orton was a good start (not that the match was good, but a good start in terms of getting 1 v 1 experience), but that needed to continue. In no way if he ready for a Wrestlemania main event. No one sans Cena and Bryan are probably ready for that Wrestlemania main event. Maybe Ziggler. When you put a talented performer and stick him into a Wrestlemania main event before he's ready, you unfortunately get The Miz in 2011. As Punk says, how else can he learn to be a top guy when every Wrestlemania has a lineup of part-timers at the top? When almost every PPV has the same few guys up top? Can we really expect Wyatt and Ambrose to have a great main event match without much experience in doing so?

WWE looks like they are finally running into the "not building any stars" buzzsaw. Losing Punk and Bryan sped that process up unfortunately.

If Bryan can't go then Ziggler is the logical choice. He could make a great opponent for Brock (Brock can destroy him all match and Dolph still kicks out like at Survivor Series, and finally Brock is worn down Ivan Drago in Rocky 4 style and Dolph finds a way to win.) It'll never happen though.

Ambrose could also be good as a guy who 'isn't afraid' of facing Brock because he's crazy. I'd be pretty surprised at this point if there was anything by Reigns vs. Lesnar in the match though. Even Reigns vs. Cena (Which, really, would probably be a better match) will probably not work unless Cena really heels it up. I could be proven wrong of course and I'd rather it all just click for Reigns on the mic and in the ring, but he's just still so new.

Ziggler would also be an interesting choice but that seems incredibly unlikely. They'd probably sooner have Sheamus come back and win the rumble. I'd actually kind of like it if Reigns won and then Rollins cashed in or whatever to win right after, that'd be a pretty sweet moment.

I don't understand why they have to be #1 sellers of merch for who knows how long before they can be a "top guy". Just listen to the crowds, and put the rocket on somebody. They let the tail wag the dog...

I'm almost rooting for Reigns now given the circumstances just to see what happens...

Sheamus was not backstage at the WWE Royal Rumble on Sunday and it was another creative decision that has delayed his return.

We noted during WrestleMania XXX season last year that WWE had plans for Sheamus to face Daniel Bryan in New Orleans. Plans were changed when CM Punk left the company and Bryan ended up being pushed to the WrestleMania main event instead.

Word coming out of the Royal Rumble this week is that plans for Sheamus vs. Bryan III at WrestleMania are back on for this year's event in Santa Clara. The two wrestled to a No Contest in a Lumberjack Match at WrestleMania 27 and then Sheamus defeated Bryan in 18 seconds to win the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 28.

Plans still call for Sheamus to return as a heel and it looks like he could be getting involved with Bryan upon returning.

The dream match is back on!

We noted before that Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan was in the works for WrestleMania 31 this year but apparently WWE has changed their mind.

The recent Twitter interactions between Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler are not just social media chatter as WWE is currently going with Bryan vs. Ziggler for WrestleMania.

Another battle royal also is expected for WrestleMania this year. No word yet on if it will be another Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal but there was talk at one point of making it a yearly match.

That'll make a good opener.

It's still a rematch of sorts! It was Big E and Ziggler vs. Kane and Bryan at Mania 29!

I'd be terrified of putting the best match on the show as the opener as that could easily be. The only plus side would be keeping it as far away from Reigns/Lesnar as possible to let the crowd cool down from their Bryan hype.
