Your WrestleMania card - You book it.

Les Ferdinand

You're the booker. How would you book Mania? Using the current roster and rumoured comebacks what would you come up with. From start being the opening match right though to the main event. Here's what I would do if I was in charge. The winners of mine are in bold

WWE World Championship
Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan w Triple H as referee.

Triple H will be accidentally knocked out by Randy Orton. Daniel Bryan gets Orton into the Yes Lock. Camera cuts to the ref sprinting down the ramp. Orton taps and the place goes ballistic and we finish off with our WrestleMania moment.

Not going to try and fill four hours but:

Undertaker vs John Cena

Daniel Bryan vs WWE Champ - as it was best for business, stupid Randy - Triple H

IC champ Roman Reigns vs US champ Dean Ambrose in unification match

or

IC champ Big E Langston and Dolph Ziggler vs The Shield repped by Reigns and US champ Ambrose.
Winning team faces tag partner one on one straight after for unified mid-card belt conveniently called the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Reigns wins and there is much rejoicing.

or

Bring back the King of the Ring and have Reigns win that so the mid-card belts get unified through someone else. Let's say Barrett or Cesaro.

I'd keep the MitB as a PPV and replace its former role at WM with the Unforgiven '99 tag based Six-Pack Challenge (two in ring at one time, man in each corner) and make it a #1 contender's match for Extreme Rules or sutin. And not just because I really want WWE to bring back that match format along with the Championship Scramble.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Randy Orton defends vs. Daniel Bryan
I'm ignoring Smackdown tonight, and pretending EC is only at four names. Orton, Cena, Bryan and Sheamus. At some point in the coming weeks Randy Orton is revealed as injured and unable to compete at EC. The Authority, unwilling to strip him of the title, are at a loss. Brock Lesnar and Batista have been going at it in a separate program but the news of Orton's injury has dragged them in. Someone gets under Batista's skin and because he isnt that bright, ends up putting his number one contendership status on the line in place of Orton. EC's main event becomes Batista vs Lesnar vs Cena vs Bryan vs Sheamus vs a sixth who doesnt matter. Bryan comes out on top. In the coming weeks, it'll be revealed that Orton was never injured and faked the injury for two reasons. To avoid the EC match, and eliminate Batista from title contention. Orton plays up the fact that he believes Bryan is an easier opponent, making it all the sweeter when Bryan leaves Wrestlemania as Champion.

Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar
This was the tough one. Sting would be a pretty awful match given both men need their opponent to do the hard work. Cena is perfect, but is already involved with the Wyatts so I'll leave him. I also considered both Sheamus and Batista but decided against them. Sheamus is getting great reactions so turning him would be pointless. Batista would be the same as Sting. Lesnar is really the only option left. Set up is simple. After coming up short at EC, Paul Heyman says Brock Lesnar is going to steal the show at Wrestlemania but not by winning the title. Lesnar is instead going to end the Streak. Told you it was simple. Heyman taunts Undertaker until the match is accepted which leads to a few weeks of mind games from Undertaker. The match would be similar to Cena vs Lesnar, with Lesnar dominating and playing up the story of Undertaker getting weaker every year.

Sheamus vs Batista
Several wrestlers gloats in Batista's face about how he was outsmarted at EC and is now without a Wrestlemania match. Batista tries to keep his cool but after several weeks, he snaps and tries to take out whoever is closest. Zach Ryder or someone equally useless. Batista does a lot of damage as the officials and security try but fail to calm him down. The next week Batista looks to do the same again but this time Sheamus makes the save. Batista gets to be the heel which he excels at and Sheamus gets to be a bad ass who isnt afraid of anyone. A hard hitting match where the winner can be either man.

John Cena, Sting & Hulk Hogan vs The Wyatts
Following EC, the Wyatts try to turn Cena (much like Kane a few years ago) but he resists the entire time. Hogan makes a return on Raw to come to the aid of Cena and has a bit of success. In future weeks he is quickly overwhelmed. Cena and Hogan put out a call for someone to step up and join them in the fight, which leads to Sting debuting a couple of weeks before Wrestlemania. A six man tag allows Hogan and Rowan to do as little as possible while also allowing Cena and Harper do all the hard work. All the weaknesses should be hidden in such a match. Obviously the babyfaces win a short enough match.

CM Punk vs Triple H
Following Punk's hissy fit this week, he takes the next few weeks off. Triple H openly mocks his childishness. Eventually this brings back Punk who reminds everyone of the content of his original pipebomb. He brings up the fact that he was right all along which obviously annoys the Authority. Punk vs Kane happens on Raw and if Punk wins, he gets Triple H one on one at Wrestlemania. The Authority throw everything at Punk (similar to the Styles vs Magnus match a few weeks back) but Punk overcomes and gets his chance at Wrestlemania. Triple H throws up more road blocks in the form of handicap matches but Punk comes through them all without injury. For the match, Triple H tries to use as many short cuts as he can but Punk isnt above doing the same leading to both men trying to outdo each other. Punk eventually wins by submission.

Cody Rhodes vs Goldust
A rather obvious choice but if it doesnt happen, they are reduced to the filler match further down. With Bryan leaving as Champion, I'd have Cody be the heel in this one so he can work towards a title shot over the summer. Cody can claim he is done carrying Goldust or something. The starting point doesnt matter, they have enough of a history to make it personal. Cody gets the win which gives him a platform to go for the title in the future.

Roman Reigns & Big E. Langston vs Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins
Reigns continues his break away from the Shield while Big E and Ambrose start a feud to eventually unify their title belts. At EC, the Wyatts eliminate both Rollins and Ambrose leaving it as 3 on 1. Reigns destroys his hopeless opponents and gets it to 1 on 1 before Ambrose and Rollins cost him the match. In the following weeks, they can explain their actions as believing Reigns had gotten too big for his boots and needed to be brought back to earth. They can even say the only reason they recruited him was to watch their backs but he overstepped his bounds. Reigns tries to take them on alone but fails, resulting in Big E stepping up. Babyfaces win.

WWE Divas Championship
AJ Lee vs Paige
None of the current Divas are anywhere close to AJ so her opponent wouldnt matter. It's a bit late to debut someone new and have them be established enough to have a title match but we'll go with Paige anyway. It's not like it takes much to get a Divas title match given current booking. AJ retains because I cant go against my wifey

Tag Team Gauntlet Match (Winners stay on)
The Usos vs The Real Americans vs The Middle Aged Outlaws vs Mysterio/Sin Cara etc etc.
The "get everyone else on the card" match featuring a load of make shift teams. Del Rio, Ziggler, Miz, Sandow etc feature. Uso's leave with the gold bronze.

DANIEL BRYAN V BROCK LESNAR

Elimination Chamber is down to the final three, Bryan, Cesaro and Sheamus. Lesnar's music hits. He breaks into the chamber with a chair and kills all three of them. There is no winner. The next night Vince says that because there was no winnner, and Orton was eliminated prior to Lesnar's entry, the title is vacated. He calls out Lesnar for what will presumably be his dismissal. Lesnar appears on the titantron - he has Linda and he is going to F5 her unless Vince puts him in the title match. Vince agrees. He then makes a number one contenders match between Bryan, Cesaro and Sheamus. Bryan goes over. Over the next weeks you have Lesnar either nearly kill Bryan, with Bryan occasionally getting the upperhand, and occasionally not. Or you have Heyman cut promos on Bryan, his size, how the animal can't be stopped. You build up the underdog. At Wrestlemania, Bryan goes over in the main event. You could even use your Hogan appearance here - Ref out, Heyman hands Brock the chair, he nails Bryan, sets him up for the F5 and music hits. Hogan comes out and hits him with the boot or something. I would have Lesnar kick out when Bryan covers though, because Bryan needs to go over properly. So he hits the Busaiku knee for the win.

UNDERTAKER V ROMAN REIGNS

I don't want to blow Cena right now, I'd rather save that for next year. This gives WWE a main eventer by Summerslam. So here is how I book it. Dean Ambrose starts to state that he is the reason for The Shield being the powerhouse they are. He says that he has masterminded their greatest victories. He says that he was supposed to win the title until The Wyatts ruined his opportunity. So he decides to do the next best thing - he challenges the Undertaker for a match. Rollins and Reigns are both incredulous. Undertaker comes out, rejects Ambrose, but challenges Roman Reigns to a match at Wrestlemania. Roman accepts, but Ambrose is obviously mad with jealousy. Over the next few weeks the divide between The Shield becomes extremely obvious, but Ambrose still plays the nice guy. Rollins is stuck in the middle. Reigns increasingly seems annoyed at the heelish antics. At Wrestlemania, you have promos of The Shield saying how tonight is their night, how they are going to become legends. Undertaker comes to the ring first, then Reigns comes with the Shield, only they (Ambrose and Rollins, who has sided with Ambrose) attack him when he is walking down the ramp. Undertaker comes out to scare them off. Reigns still wants to go, in a weakened condition. They work a brilliant match but Reigns comes up just barely short. You are left to wonder afterward if Reigns could have won without the pre-match beating. Sets up a Shield feud for Extreme Rules.

CM PUNK V TRIPLE H

Vince brings Punk back. Vince, in a scathing promo, blames Triple H for fans becoming disillusioned with the product. He says Triple H is helping his friends and he says he has been mistreating the talent. He says Punk left because he couldn't stand him - Vince is a business man, and when Triple H's shenanigans are costing Vince money through Punk's departure, he won't have it. Punk comes out and does a promo similar to Pipe Bomb 2011. Blurs the lines of kayfabe and reality with his verbal assault on HHH. Brings up Batista's tweet about B level era. Brings up the fan altercation. Brings up Kevin Nash being given a spot in the Rumble. The Outlaws. His history with the Authority. HHH stalling his momentum when he was the hottest thing in wrestling. Build your feud from there, leading to a real, personal WM match. Punk wins.

ORTON V CENA

Billed as the final end to this feud. Genuinely their last ever match. They make it personal, build it up to be the Rock/Austin of their time. Kind of want to put Orton over here, because the loss doesn't hurt Cena and Orton still isn't over as a heel in the fans eyes. Orton needs this win to stay legitimate and he will get it. I'm not sure how it goes down.

WYATT FAMILY V CESARO AND SHEAMUS

Pick up from the number one contenders match. Wyatts target Cesaro and Sheamus. I don't know why. They had no reason to target Bryan/Cena/Punk but they did. So somebody can come up with something. Anyway this gets Cesaro over as a strong babyface, keeps Sheamus relevant and popular, while building the Wyatt's more (which I am okay with after seeing Bray's match at RR).

Also need a tag team title match, and 1-2 matches to make use of the rest of the talent who deserve a spot on WM. Couldn't be arsed writing for them.

Batista isn't on the card because in my booking he goes away and doesn't come back.

Chip Whitley

I see Christian / Big Show / Del Rio / Mark Henry aren't too high up on everyone's card :pac:
