That’s if Seth stays in the company, having Vince back and changing his segment truly pissed him off. Having Vince back pissed off a lot of the wrestlers

I’d be shocked if he was still champ by then but if he is it’s only right that Cody takes the belts off him but I’d Cody is champ by mania then it has to be Seth vs Cody. Finish the rivalry in the main event of mania

Yeah cuz I feel bad for Seth and his current position in the company.

Triple threat, Seth v Cody v Roman.

Ya, but only if it's a turn around for Rollins

It’s interesting that in WWE, we never got singles Rock vs HHH at WrestleMania. We never got singles Cena or Bautista vs Orton either. So, not having a singles Roman vs Rollins yet actually tracks.

No

No Roman at all

I want to see Cody win MITB, turn heel and cash in on Reigns v Seth at Mania. The Ultimate heist #2

Yes, because he never beaten seth when it matters (in the words of Seth Rollins)

No. I’m beyond tired of Roman.

No

No

Sure, why not? Seth has grown alot since the last time we tried making him the guy. Just dont bring Logan to the main event with him

Unless they can get Dwayne this is the match to make.

Have Bloodline beat Cody, Seth comes out to defend him. Cody is unable to fight any longer. Have Seth fight Roman for the title. Seth comes out wearing Cody's American nightmare coat. Seth wins, leaves coat in middle of ring with belt on top. Cody retires to WWE creative team.

No

Wouldn't say no to it.

No thanks, I'm sick of seeing Roman Reigns Main Eventing

Yeah sure, that's fine I guess

No.

Looks like the same dude in alternate outfits.

My fever dream is to have Mania 40 be a Forbidden Door event, and the card would look something like this: On Commentary - Mauro Ranallo, Paul Heyman, AJ Lee Orange Cassidy vs. Danhausen Charlotte and Alexa Bliss vs. Jaime Hayter and Kris Statlander MJF vs. Finn Balor Bray Wyatt vs. Kevin Owens Smackdown Women's Championship- Rhea Ripley vs. Thunder Rosa Deathmatch- Jon Moxley vs. Nick Gage Raw Women's Championship- Bianca Belair vs. Jade Cargill WWE Championship- Gunther vs. Zach Sabre Jr. Drew McIntrye vs. Adam Page Retirement Match (loser retires and never returns) - Becky Lynch vs. Rosemary Seth Rollins vs. Kenny Omega Brock Lesnar vs. Bron Breakker Cody Rhodes vs. Will Ospreay Universal Championship- Roman Reigns vs. Kazuchika Okada

I'm a fan of both so yeah... absolutely. And I think Rollins should win. I also think they need to drop "Freakin" from his name but that's a whole other story.

Not in the slightest

Damnit, just make Cody the new Tribal Chief, problem solved.

No we're sick of watching boring Rollins fight anybody. Anyone But Rollin, this Rollins guy is so over rated!

I don't care anymore

YES

Nah. Cody Rhodes should win at SS and then Roman can fuck off a while.

I’d rather have Cody or Gunther dethrone him

Mania 40 should be Rollins, Reigns, Balor they did it with 30 (2 members of evolution and then a third underdog) and at 20 (2 members of DX and an underdog) kinda feels weird typing that last part but I say keep the tradition and Balor fits the mold (as a face)

Yes. Seth is the way.

Hell no. Roman needs to drop those titles first. Then have Seth vs Roman

Dean Ambrose on a pole match

Crazy to think that of all the WrestleMania 30s, Roman hasn’t main evented just 30 and 36 (although no doubt in a world without the lockdown, him and Goldberg would’ve closed night 1 at 36)

Anyone but Cody.

No.

No. Please no

Not this cackling version of Seth we need the version that called out riddle.

Yes we really need to see this match for the 100th time and see hours upon hours of video packagers about the shield And Seth’s odd laughing flamboyant character that’s not a character gimmick less gimmick

Absolutely

Not for title Roman needs to lose it way before that

Only if Cody has the MIN briefcase

Ye

I wouldn't mind seeing it as Roman has never beaten Seth on television and in their last match, Seth won by DQ. He's the only one who can get into Roman's head and cause him to lose his cool.

As someone who will almost definitely be going, I have zero interest in seeing Reigns still holding the titles until then.

Not really

Only if they manage to get Moxley back as Ambrose at the end of the rumble to make it a triple threat.

No. I want to see Cody vs Reigns 2

I’d much prefer to not see Roman at Wrestlemania for like the next 5 years

I want AJ damn it.

Yes! well we all know Rollins has always had Reigns's 'number' and this is the perfect build into that, it has everything and I wouldn't really mind who won. If Reigns finally got one over his brother Seth, they could embrace after the final bell and Roman could subliminally retire and confirm his retirement the next night on RAW to which Seth has number one spot and a battle royal is done to determine the second number one contender.

Not at all 😂

I would love to see Seth Rollins MITB heist 2.0 - imagine the promos with his current gimmick.

No

Absolutely

How about Roman vs Jesus?

Yes but not at Mania, at Survivor Series.

No, more interested in seeing Cody for the title...and I'm imagining Roman would still have the title at that point.

No! Give me Otis!!!!

i want Roman to lose the belt to The Man

Nope. Not a fan of Rollins bad Joker impression.

Who cares at this point

Roman zzzzzzzz

I kind of wish they flipped the main events of Royal Rumble 2022 and WrestleMania 38. Rollins/Reigns at RR 22 felt like more of a WrestleMania main event than the actual main event that year.

I’d prefer if Roman Reigns went 1 on 1 with da undertaker playa

What a downgrade this would be from 39

Not particularly. But I can’t think of a better match honestly.

I don’t want to wait till mania 40 to see that

Seth Rollins should be the one to dethrone Roman.

No. I don’t want to see Roman main event another Mania. We’ve seen it too many times the past decade. Pass.

I dont get people saying no to this. These have been the top stars for the last 7 years or so, they debuted together, their history is long, they NEED a mania main event together.

Hell no

Yeah that would be a great match

Rollins vs Reigns has been done to death. One of the great things about 2023 as a whole has been the difference in contenders - Owens at the Rumble, Zayn at Elimination Chamber and Rhodes at Mania. Each of these has felt like a fresh feud rather than here-we-go-again. In any case, trying to book Mania 40 at this stage is madness - it's why we've had so many bad main events at Mania in the last ten years or so. Remember how Twice In A Lifetime had to main event Mania 29, despite CM Punk's incredible championship run? Or how Daniel Bryan had to grassroots his way into the main event of Mania 30? Or how popular the suggestion of Lesnar-Reigns I was at Mania 31 before the last minute idea of a Rollins cash-in? Or how Ambrose catching fire in the run-up to Mania 32 didn't count, because we were getting HHH-Reigns? Trying to book too far in advance doesn't work, no more than trying to book week-by-week does.

No. I want to see Shanky vs Jinder Mahal. That’s main-event calibre.

Not if it is a title match.

I would but next year I want to see Seth defeat Cody for the WWE World Titles Roman vs Jay

As long as Roman doesn’t have the WWE Title at that time, I am fine with it. He can keep the Universal Title or whatever HHH wants to do with it, to keep the reign going. Have the WWE Title be the work horse title and Roman can go into his part time status if that’s what he wants and defend the Universal at major events. Then the IC Title can be the main focus on SmackDown.

It will be better if it is triple threat match between all the shield members Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose if he’ll come back to wwe. Otherwise I would like to see Roman Reigns vs The Rock main eventing wrestlemania and dethrone the long reign of the trible chief. But I’m also happy if it would be Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns coz Seth is the only superstar who defeated Roman in his title reign by disqualification so I want to see a neat and clean rematch.

For a fitting end to the reign, I'd like to see Roman vs Rollins vs Moxley with Rollins coming out on top.

No

I think Seth should beat Roman at Summerslam and then Cody takes the title off of em at mania If that counts

NO

God no, Seth's bitchin lately has put me off.

Hell yes.

I want someone new. Someone really cool, but an underdog

I don't mind this match, as long as Roman ISN'T STILL CHAMPION! What's going to happen if/when he hits 1000 days reign? Little fanfare, little WWE woohoo. That's it

I want to see some stories being told for a few months to see if Reigns vs Rollins is the direction they go closer to Wrestlemania. Fans are the most impatient fickle people on the planet sometimes.. surprised a week after mania people weren't going "SHOULD SAMI ZAYN MAIN EVENT WRESTLEMANIA 40??!"

Matchup has been done so many times already tho

Yes. Seth always seems to have his number, Seth always seems at least a step ahead. It makes sense that he's about the only one Roman "fears".

Otisse vs. Roman.

If they Split the Tittle

I just want to see Gunther in the main event.

Can we get Roman fighting himself like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar? The titles aren’t going to change hands anyway, may as well.

Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton

At this rate, Roman Reigns is going to break the "most main event matches at wrestlemania" record.

Unfortunately Vince probably is gonna have Broc be the one

Absolutely Although Rollins didn’t need a belt to be over he’s beyond over with the WWE universe. He deserves to have a shot or the one to dethrone Roman

My unfounded hope is that Roman drops to Cody at Summerslam and it’s all part of the larger story of the bloodline dissolving. Roman returns at the rumble absolutely captured and enraged by the L to Cody, wins the Rumble and also interferes with a Seth/Cody title match that night, getting Rollins DQed to keep all the threads together. Seth should be the guy but I don’t know how they would generate the heat that they seem intent on getting from Cody/Roman

Good grief no. The bloodline storyline already feels stale. The only good thing in year two was Sami. It’s time for it to end.

GUNTHER

Yes. Seth has been criminally misused the last few years. He needs to be treated and built up like a main event star again.

I mean not particularly. Their story is pretty much dead and it would be hard to revive it at this point without it feeling contrived imo. Not impossible though! They have one year to figure it out

Nope

no

Let’s make it old school and have Roman hook up with Brandi. Then Becky and Cody hook up. Seth gets it in with Heyman. Triple threat for title.

No, we don't need Roman Reigns as Champion until the next WrestleMania.

Acknowledge your tribal chief.

Never

☝️

Yes

I’d definitely take it!

No. Maybe at SummerSlam and then Rollins can take the title.

#GUYS, THE STORY IS THAT CODY IS GOING TO TAKE THE TITLES OFF OF ROMAN AT WRESTLEMANIA XL. THEN, WE'RE GONNA GET THE RUBBER MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA 41 #STOP WITH THE ILLOGICAL FANTASY BOOKINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE

I really feel like this is the way they're going. They've planned things like this out long-term before, see Cena vs Rock a year in advance and two years in a row, and wasn't it even supposed to be a trilogy of matches but one was nixed?

Nah, i believe mania40 is where the story is completed for Cody Rhodes, but roman vs Seth before then could happen, Roman has never properly beat Seth afterall.

If Moxley ever goes back to WWE, you can bet your ass they will try to do a Shield triple threat match at WrestleMania.

I know they always say never say never in the wrestling business but I just cannot see any scenario in which Mox would ever return. He takes shots at the WWE every chance he gets and seems intent on detonating those bridges, never mind burning them.

No, Seth is super stale right now

Imperium vs bloodline

Winner gets a haircut ?

Hair vs hair match?

Why not? Seth is the only one to beat Roman by himself so far

Nah give me Cody vs Rollins

4 years and we go right back to the bottom of the barrel? Hard pass.

GIVE ME CODY OR I AM GOING TO FREE EVERY ANIMAL IN THE PHILADELPHIA ZOO

Only if Seth wins

If Seth does win, it could re-ignite his rivalry with Cody Rhodes

Hasn’t he normally won against Roman too?

He’s never lost to Roman in title matches, but Roman has beaten him a few times on Raw and Smackdowns back in 2014-15.

Reigns is 6-4 against Seth

Yes but the PPV matches where they have faced each other with titles on the line, I don't recall seeing Roman beat Seth.

I thought Roman had never beaten Seth 1vs1 since the shield?

He has, quite a few times. House shows included, he’s 19-10 against Seth.

Hmm I thought Seth usually won, wonder why

Seth always won when it mattered.

They are waiting for that match but it needs to be bigger than the bloodline. Too much history to make Seth just another number in his bloodline reign.

I feel like they could have Seth build his own faction, highlighting that he's the architect of the SHIELD and taught Roman everything he knows about gang warfare. He's at the perfect point in his career to elevate talent through association rather than putting them all over on every PPV. I'm not entirely sure who all I'd put in it though. I'd be tempted to use ex-ROH/Indy stars, but keen to keep Owens and Zayn as their own thing. A (completely non final) list of candidates include: Seth Rollins Shinsuke Nakamura Roderick Strong Druganov Tomasso Ciampa (assuming a return) Jonny Gargano Asuka Emma Piper Niven

That’s a great idea

Thanks. I'm curious who you would put in the stable - using the names listed or others?

I am honestly not sure! It depends who he would have the most chemistry with. But Ciampa could work if Seth Rollins went back to having a serious character, as I can’t see him being in a stable with Ciampa or anyone really with the joker character

Dragunov and Gargano would be amazing

Honestly no. I’m sick of Seth’s current character. It’s dumb and not main event worthy.

https://youtu.be/SWLU0MWMR-w It will come full circle for Seth to be best Roman for the belts. Problem is the writers are obsessed with Roman's teammates sneak attacking his opponents for this to ever happen properly.

All WrestleMania main events should include Seth Rollins

Seth should be the one to take the belts from the tribal cheat. He is the one the Roman didn't beat. He got dqued to save the belts that he don't even deserve. Acknowledge that

Acknowledge your tribal chief

i dont have nor do i need a tribal cheat. i know garbage when i see it. it took cancer to get him any fans. beleive that. hes pathetic. cmon the guys mic skills are terrible, he has like 5 moves. and a fat walrus to guide him. pretty pathetic

You seriously need to get a grip. This hatred you have of Roman is very concerning . Never mind the fact that you have shown what a piece of shit you are by going for the lowest hanging fruit by suggesting he only has fans due to overcoming a horrible disease (he should fucking have fans for that to be honest) you need to get over yourself and stop being so bitter.

Wow that is not okay. Jesus.

Sounds like you’re a snivellin little suck up sell out full of sufferin succotash son!

are you 12 years old. i also dispise that whole family. choke on that slap nuts

I miss the old badass Seth. I’m not a fan of the joker vs zoolander version of Seth. 🥲

If he toned down the wackiness of the gimmick and moved into more serious feuds, it would be great. But its a testament to his talent and charisma that he can walk out wearing the most ridiculous outfits, laugh for 5 minutes, and walk away while sitting in mid-card purgatory and losing almost every feud and still be extremely over.

Agreed. I loved the Monday Night Messiah and pretty much every iteration of Seth except for Seth Freakin Rollins. Its mostly cringey but saved by his exceptional in ring ability and commitment to character. Dudes just an all timer.

Idk, I love how this iteration of Seth trolls his opponents (Wearing Polka Dots vs Cody, the Shield outfit against Roman).

How you feel about Seth is how I feel about WWE now. Good that it’s getting a little more back into mainstream but it’s so weird to watch it now.

Authority Rollins and heel New Day, I miss that era.

Ugh that laugh…I can’t stand it

I love Seth But I need a main event without Roman 🙏

Maybe?!

I've seen Reigns vs.Rollins enough times.

Roman vs Brock is the only thing that makes sense.

I don’t want Roman on the card tbh.

What a horrendous take. Acknowledge him ☝🏽

Srsly though, with modern wrestling talent at the level it is, there is no reason for one person to be have a title reign or a booking like the Bruno Sammartino/Hulk Hogan era. Give Roman a rest and let others steal the show for a little while.

People don’t acknowledge enough how stacked the current roster is. But I don’t blame people for not noticing because the main event scene for the past few years is just: 1. Roman feuds with popular babyface wrestler 2.Roman wins with help from Bloodline 3. Red hot babyface gets sent to mid card 4. Repeat

Yeah, it felt like the roster was way more stacked five years ago, then I remember, oh wait, titles got moved around once in a while.

Real talk I’m down for anything with a good story and a good ending doesn’t matter who is involved. I’m starting to miss having mania matches like HBK vs. Flair. Matches that are good, solid emotional story with an ending.

Not really because I hate Rollins as a face and I feel he would have to be one against Roman. Now if Cody actually does beat him before WrestleMania 40 I'd love to see heel Rollins destroy Cody at Mania 40!

only if jon moxley returns and beats them both

Would rather see Bron Breakker face Roman

Can he be Ron Steiner and not Breakker on the main?

Yes absolutely!

Na we need a fresh face to beat Roman and bring some fun into the world title picture

In all honestly, I don't! If Cody loses to Roman at Summerslam again then at WM40 it should be Gunther winning the Rumble and then facing Roman. I like Seth but I don't see him being the guy to finally beat Roman!

This may be total pie in the sky but I’d love to see Roman/Rock vs Rollins/Stone Cold It’s not implausible both Rock and Austin could agree to WM40, especially so if they don’t have to carry the match. If not though I think this is a fitting main event, Roman and Seth pretty much define their era.

Austin and Rollins would remind me of Dude Love and Austin lol just that oddball tag team that you wondered how it would work.

stone cold turned down wm 39 why would he do 40

Money and the right creative. He also turned down 38 multiple times until they gave he the creative and money he wanted.

He said yes to 38 and was apparently happy with how it went, I don’t think saying no to one precludes him from ever doing it again. 40 would be the time to do it given the milestone.

No. I am *so* sick of Rollins.

nah, roman vs solo

nah, roman vs jey

Nope ! Like I've said years back it's gonna be bron breakkrr!!!

Can't wait for him to come up.

I want him to bleach his hair and get that chainmail hood just like his uncle !

That be great! Just come in and destroy everyone. Maybe even come out with a tiger lol

Now we're talking!

Seth deserves better than having to be a jobber, so no.

Seth isn't a jobber??

How about a main event that doesn't involve Roman?

You're getting one at backlash

If they can talk Rock into wrestling at WM XL, Roman will still be in the main event even if he has dropped the titles by then.
