Road To Wrestlemania, what would you do now?

beakerjoe

After watching Raw last Monday I found myself criticizing WWE so much Id change al ot of things. I think for one you'd need to plan out everything about 3- 6 months in advance. I don't know why its so hard to do these days. Id try give most on screen guys a feud that would last for about 2 months minimum.

If I was given control today this is what Id like to do.

Firstly Id scrap themed PPVs such as hell in a cell and TLC

December

Id have Randy win on Sunday, Make him look Vicious and Strong. Beating Show with no help and Id go as far as to have him put Show on the shelf after the match. have him feud with a returning Rey Mysterio on the PPV in December , Again make Randy look Vicious and strong and the Leader of the Authority.

Punk and Bryan win on sunday, punk goes off to feud with Bray and Kane feuds with Daniel in an angle where Daniel questions there former friendship. It could look like Kane is siding with his friend before turning on him and facing him at the December PPV were Bryan wins.

Regarding Punk, Id build towards a PPV bout with Bray Wyatt at WM. Have him Face Bray at the December PPV and win but would win by DQ after interference by the Wyatt Family.

Id have Big E retain on sunday and push him to a feud with Fandango ending in a match at the PPV. Have Fandango become number 1 contender and interfer in a few matches that Big E is taking part in.

Id have the Tag titles be up for grabs in a ladder match at the December PPV , The Runnells as champs , v the shield, the UnAmericans and The Usos. Have this match announced the night after SS. Have The Runnells retain.

Id have Cena win on sunday. Both him and Del Rio are stale at the minute but Cena still is a top Draw. Id have Sandow beat up Cena after the match on sunday. Have Cena come up short and eventually offer Damien a match for the title at the PPV and win. Id also continue this feud to the rumble

Id have Dolph Ziggler tease joining the Authority after Triple H has noticed how hes kept his discipline in recent weeks and not been mouthing off on twitter or interfering in matches to help the likes of Show and Bryan. Id have Daniel Bryan interfere in a US title match to screw the Authority. After a few weeks of teasing Ziggler can help Bryan win a hanicap match against the shield by hitting Ambrose. Ambrose wants revenge and a match is made. in which Ziggler wins.


December PPV Card :

WWE title match
Randy Orton (c) v Rey Mysterio

Daniel Bryan V Kane

---

January


Its Royal Rumble time and Id build D-Bry up to win the Rumble in 2014 and Go over Randy at WM30. Id have be a torn in the side The Authority ala Austin with the Corporation. hes already cost Ambrose the US title. Triple H can initially ban him from the rumble but with Daniel over coming this to enter after maybe putting his career on the line in a qualifying match.

Cm Punk wins a number one contenders match and will go on to Face Randy at RR. Punk and Bryan can team up regularly against the authority. Bray Wyatt will ultimately cost punk the match at the rumble and punk will in turn eliminate him from said match.


Numerous superstars will stake a claim for the rumble and feuds can be incorprated into it. Dont just make Daniel Bryan the obvious winner. Book the likes of Rey, Ziggler, Kane and others as legitimate contenders. Id also have the undertaker and brock return and eliminate eachother leading to a WM match

After Beating Fandango Wade Barrett can return and assault Big E. Leading to a feud with a match at the rumble.

After the December PPV the wyatts can go after the tag team title gold. On the build up to the match you can have Cody and Dust bicker with eachother after a few singles defeats to the Wyatts, with Goldust eventually turning on cody after defeat at the rumble. A match A WM would materialize.

Id have Sandow v Cena in a rematch and feud up to the PPV resulting in a gimmick rematch were Sandow comes up tops. Hoping a long feud with Cena would help solidify him as a top heel.

During this month, not necessarily on the PPV , Dolph and Ambrose can go at it in a rematch for the gold in a match on raw


Royal Rumble

WWE title match
Randy Orton (c) v CM Punk

worldheavyweight steel cage match
Cena v Sandow (c)

---

February

WM is set, the main card is set for WM (punk v`wyatt, orton v bryan, taker v brock)

During this month id have Triple H obviously unhappy with D -Bry as No1 contender and would try entice 2 superstars to join the authority , beat bryan and become no1 contender. He gets bryan arrested at the start of the night. He offers this chance to Cena, who declines. Cena is then put in a 3 on 1 handicap match with the shield for refusing and is just about holding his own til and kane and triple H appear to make things unmanageable. Rvds music hits and he sides hit Cena intitally but then turns on Cena. Its then revealed who was then offered the same Deal making him a some what corporate RVD. Cena is beaten up and shelved.

Hunter then books an elimination chamber match with Bryan v teh shield kane and Corpo RVD. John Cena and Big Show would then return at the Feb PPV aiding Bryan to win the match and start the build to a future match with RVD and Kane respectfully.

Punk and Randy would also continue there feud with Bray Wyatt in the background.


February PPV Card

WWE rematch
Randy Orton v CM Punk

chamber match

Daniel Bryan v Kane v Ambrose V Rollins V Reigns v RVD

Wrestlemaina 30 Card

Thats how i would do it for WM. Ill add more later

gnfnrhead

Planning 6 months in advance is a very bad idea.

Let's say Cesaro suddenly reaches Daniel Bryan levels of popularity. You have to throw a lot of your plans out the window or miss out on the perfect opportunity to potentially create a new top level babyface. The opposite could also happen. Sandow booked as World champion into Wrestlemania, what happens if he bombs? You have to rebook everything to make up for it.

You also have to take injuries into account.

Having your top matches in mind is one thing, having everything planned out six months in advance is asking for trouble.

I'll do an ideal card once I think of enough matches, but I'm not doing six months worth of booking.

CSF

I'd imagine negotiations are ongoing with a lot of the key part-time stars still also.

Dream main event for me would be Rock vs Bryan with Rock as a heel. The A-List fan favourite who can walk back into the WWE to immediate adulation vs the supposed B+ player who is also a fan favourite who has to work against the odds for every opportunity.

Who better than Bryan to get the best out of an aging, rusty Rock? Would also agree with Lesnar vs Undertaker as another match I'd love to see, but I'd say it's questionable whether Undertaker could physically handle the kind of matches Brock is renowned for. Cena vs Undertaker in an against all odds borefest is far more likely

Ruu

Our Sheamus will be back by then as well, you might expect him to feature big being renewed and refreshed. He would love some of Undertaker as well.

Bounty Hunter

overbooked - probably, some matches unlikely - thats fair to say, Left the Miz off the card - problem?

that said here is my off the top o my head WM attempt for this week.

---

WM Kick-off IC title match: Big E vs Mark Henry

Have Big E have a nice long dominant run as a powerhouse face, then bring back the badass heel powerhouse Mizark Henry and do the typical WWE 2 big man match ala Henry/Ryback last year except this time put one of them (Big E) over, dont try and let both of them get their moment and mess the whole thing up.

The Wyatt's (Heel) vs The Shield (Face)

The Shield are super over as heels and could be as faces too once the WWE didn't try to change them too much, vs The Wyatts would just make sense after they turn as the Wyatt's would be their replacements as The Authorities 3 man henchmen.

No DQ Elimination US Title match: Sheamus vs Del Rio vs RVD vs Chris Jericho

These fellas can go extreme and need to be slotted onto the card somehow plus a match like this would provide some variaty.

CM Punk vs SCSA

Could he / would he / who knows but if given even the slightest indication he would then WMXXX vs Punk would be perfect for Austin.

Tag title Ladder match: The Rhodes Brothers vs The Usos vs Rey/Sin Cara vs The Real Americans vs Truth/Woods

You would need a smaller match to follow the last one but this one could still hugely entertain the crowd and have some awesome spots.

The Rock vs Brock Lesnar

Like with SCSA who knows if the Rock would esp against the dangerous Lesnar but this was being talked about as a long term plan after the last Mania and it would have huge appeal and it is WM XXX afterall, go big whynot.

Novelty Celeb match: Shaq vs The Big Show / Ryback vs Goldberg

Could easily not have this on the card, there arent always celebs in mania matches and there are enough big matches already on this card. As an alternative perhaps have Ryback vs The man whos name the crowd chant when they see Ryback... Goldberg! there have been rumours.

WWE Title: D.Bryan vs HHH

I would write a different WWE title match idea if i did this again tommorow but HHH/Steph seem to not fully trust anyone to be the face of the company so why not have him go full on ego maniacal ba$tardo just like the folks online often accuse him of being and put the belt on himself in the run up to Mania but then with the culmination of the Authority storyline have D.Bryan beat old big nose at Mania and have a real Mania moment. Yes! YES! YES!

Divas title match to calm people down a bit (AJ vs ummm I dunno how about Karma!)

WHC match: John Cena vs The Undertaker

Biggest money match they have got. The real face of the WWE and the one man people might believe could end the streak defending his World Heavyweight Championship against The Phenom The Undertaker who aims to go 22-0 at Wrestlemania.

You were doing great until the 3 big matches. Rock vs Lesnar is the only of them that I would find in the slightest bit appealing.

ha and I just realised I completely forgot about Randy Orton

Cena vs Taker is money though, and no matter what there will be a streak match at WM XXX and Cena is really the only credible challenger in my mind. HHH vs Bryan on the other hand I can see happening and being the culmination of the Authority storyline although it probably wont be for the WWE title as surely HHH wont give himself another reign like I suggested though it would be great in a heat seeking and WM moment (for Bryan) setting up way.

SirDelboy18

Only thing that concerns me is Daniel Bryan being in either the WWE title match or a match vs any of Brock Lesnar, Shawn Michaels or The Undertaker.

After that you can probably push Punk into the authority storyline, picking up on what happened back in 2011 and comment on how he was completely right. Punk v Triple H with Punk going over.

Don't really know what you would do with the Wyatt's - I'd eventually see Bray getting the MITB though.

I'd like to see Ziggler and Cesaro in high profile matches too.

DM_7

Based on the storylines recently I would be happy with

Sheamus v RVD

Goldy and Cody v Real Americans

Shield v Wyatt family

Big E v Sandow

Rey v Del Rio

Brock v Punk

Orton v Bryan

Cena v Taker

I never want to see Del Rio vs Mysterio again just so I can avoid hearing Alberto call him a chiwawa for the 9,000th time.

I could definitely see both matches happening but they still aren't very appealing.

grames_bond

BH I would absolutely LOVE it if that was the Mania card - you have variety, exciting matches, the part timers in prominant positions (for the casual fan rock vs brock would be f*cking huge - and a media mans wet dream!) and for the first time ever a bit of a question mark over the streak match - nice job!

JP Liz V1

I'd love to see Dean Ambrose Vs Seth Rollins in a No.1 contender's match for one of the world titles

D Bryan Vs HHH has to happen at some point and having D Bryan going over HHH at WM would be great - Bryan winning the rumble match and facing WWE champ HHH

I like to see Cody Rhodes feature in the WHC title match maybe against someone like Punk or Christian maybe add in Cesaro too and have a fatal four way

Cena Vs Taker

Sheamus Vs Brock Lesnar

Lets be honest regards Rollins and Ambrose, Character wise they arent there yet. its not going to happen in the near future. Both amazing talents though.

Hm, Bryan wins Rumble and Triple H puts himself in Elimination Chamber to make sure Orton gets the job done? *scratches chin*

So, I’ve decided to build to an eight match Wrestlemania card. Below is my efforts. I’ve attempted to build it chronologically. Each paragraph represents a different Wrestlemania match and are ordered the same after under each heading, (e.g. WWE title is the first paragraph under each heading). I’ve also broken down the timeline to cover each of the Pay-Per-Views up to and including Wrestlemania, as well as the RAWs between each PPV (titled Fall-Outs.) I hope that you guys enjoy it.

Survivor Series Fall-Out
GM: HHH dumps Brad Maddox and Vickie Guerrero as GMs and extends Kane’s responsibilities to fill the void.
WWE Title: Big Show loses to Orton clean and is quietly pushed down the card. Queue a scramble for the # 1 contender’s spot with multiple superstars demanding their chance. HHH mandated a #1 Contenders knock-out tournament. Over the following RAWs, the 8 contenders of CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, Bray Wyatt, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose and Cody Rhodes face off. Ultimately it comes down to Punk vs. Mark Henry for the #1 contender spot (Punk eliminates Bryan in one of the semi-finals). HHH insists that Punk will never be the face of the WWE but fails in his attempt to screw Punk out of the win. Punk advances to face Randy Orton for the WWE title at TLC.
World Heavyweight Championship: John Cena beats Alberto Del Rio to retain the championship at Survivor series. A returning Wade Barrett is named the #1 contender for the championship.

Infuriated that Punk is still standing HHH puts Punk in a #1 contenders match against Brock Lesnar. If Punk loses, he’ll lose his title shot at Wrestlemania to Brock.

Yeah, I originally wrote something about Wyatt being Undertaker's messenger, predicting his arrival with a view of Taker beating Big E for the IC belt to become the 13th Grandslam champion with a view of taking on Miz at Wrestlemania 31 in a streak vs streak IC/ US champion unification match but the Wyatt stuff was so naff, I had to change it. Maybe Jericho could be subbed in for Wyatt instead.

I stopped reading after seeing Barrett beating cena for the title. When Barrett didn't win the wwe title when he was leader of the nexus he'll never win a world title!!

Man it's infuriating when people say that.

Lots of effort into the most recent one and definitely has some good stories. I just feel that some of them are not to my liking personally - Cena won't be turning heel, possibly ever, so to base a large storyline on that isn't realistic. I do actually think that the Wyatt's could be good in a feud with Taker in some particular situations - but Bray isn't good enough in the ring to take the WM match, and they botched the storyline with Kane joining, and now they haven't progressed into the returning Mysterio which should have been the story all along.

DM_7

Bray is injured right?

hasn't had a chance to get comfortable in the ring so any chance of a big match on his own is probably gone for mania this time. Maybe 2015

beakerjoe

I liked a lot of things above, never realised the Miz had a streak. Personally Id never believe that the Miz would end the streak and I think after this WM, the Undertaker will call it a day.

Somebody end Miz's streak ASAP to save us from having WWE put him on TV even more than they already do

Cheers man, but sure the poster is entitled to his opinion. You know yourself, it's not easy to come up with a multi-threaded time line that spans a third of a year. WWE don't help it in how they package their wrestlers.

Without doubt, it's a dream booking, hense my use of Barrett (who I rate and think that WWE should work his bare-knuckle boxing gimmick more) and turning of Cena as a heel.

Ultimately, I enjoyed putting it together. It was mostly drafted on a couple of trips on the Luas and I spent a few hours in the evening flushing out the arc. It's not perfect, but I like to think that it's better than some of the story lines that are run at the moment.

Oh I know (I disagree with plenty too), I just find the saying disrespectful.

Screw it! It's the internet :P People tend to forget real-world manners. :rolleyes: I'm a big boy and have hard enough skin to not care if someone disagrees with me, wants to call me any name under the sun or TYPES IN ALL CAPS AND WITHOUT PUNCTUATION AND GRAMMAR OR SPEKLING BECAUSE THEIR POINT IS THE BESTEST IN THE WORLD.

Ultimately, it's just the internet. Who really cares?!

Anyway, back to topic. Does anyone else want to offer up a dream booking?

He`s been under contract how long?

Am I right in thinking Rock is a not going to be at Mania

Comfortable with his gimmick while in a match. I am pretty sure most contracted and trained wrestlers from FCW/NXT, including Wyatt, are capable of putting on a good match. In WWE many including the top guy, are restricted in what they are allowed to do.

I started the thread the same way. Luas and train journey from work.

Probably, but I'll be very unhappy. They can't replace The Shield. They just don't have the roster and none of them will be as entertaining solo.

Main Event
Undertaker vs John Cena
Non title match of course. But, going on last gives the idea that Undertaker could lose. He isnt going to lose if there are more matches to come. Add in that Cena is by far and away the biggest danger and you have a believable scenario for the streak to be in danger.

WWE Championship
CM Punk defends vs Daniel Bryan
I really wasnt sure who to have the champion going in, but decided on Punk. These two would be the last two in the Rumble, with Bryan winning. Punk congratulates him but soon grows to resent him. Punk eventually joins up with the authority to take the WWE title at Elimination Chamber.

Brock Lesnar vs Ryback
This wont be popular, and needs a LOT of effort being put into Ryback. Have him turn babyface and feud with Heyman's next new guy (doesnt matter who, they are only a short term thing) for being dumped. After Ryback kills him, Heyman has to call in the big guns to save his ass.

World Heavyweight Championship
Cody Rhodes defends vs Damien Sandow
Pretty straight forward continuation of their feud. Rhodes ends up winning the WHC and Sandow cant handle it. Sandow turned on Rhodes so he could win the WHC and the opposite has happened.

United States Championship
Dean Ambrose defends vs Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler vs Antonio Cesaro
The Shield are still together, but you can tease the break up. Make it an elimination match and Ambrose and Rollins can work together until it comes down to the two of them.

Roman Reigns vs Mark Henry
Was undecided on who to put Reigns against. Wanted it to be a big guy and considered both Kane and Big Show, but Henry would give a better match than them both. Have them start something at the Rumble where they try to outdo each other until they eventually face off.

Del Rio, Big E, Kane, Big Show, Miz, Mysterio and Sheamus are all missing. They, along with AJ defending against someone (Kaitlyn unless someone better comes along) will fill out the rest of the card. Sheamus, Mysterio & Big E vs Del Rio, Kane & Miz or something. Doesnt really matter.

If WWE rolled back on Ryback's walk away from Heyman, they could have an angle of Brock being pissed that Ryback has stolen his manager.

Like the card. Can't see it happening unfortunately though. I'm surprised that you didn't give Orton or Del Rio a slot on the card. They're two of the best wrestlers on WWE's books, albeit, repetitively/badly booked

Ryback didnt walk away, Axel did. Heyman dumped Ryback for not protecting him enough.

I doubt Brock would care about that either, to be honest. Once he gets paid, he is happy. It's a bonus if he gets to beat people up too :pac:

Actually forgot Orton. Del Rio is in the filler match.

Off the top of my head, Orton vs a babyface Cesaro. Punk takes Orton's spot in the authority so a pissed off Orton takes it out on smaller guys. Cesaro has enough and steps up to the plate.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are plans in place for John Cena and the Wyatt Family to have a feud in place headed into WrestleMania. This would effectively remove Cena from the WWE World Heavyweight Championship picture, if true.
The report claims that while WWE officials have their breath held that Hulk Hogan may be capable of teaming up alongside Cena to take on the group, the backup plan has Cena and Bray Wyatt himself squaring off at the big dance in New Orleans

Careful Liz, the WON has been misquoted a bit. But I believe that nobody has a clue in WWE or at home if Miz is a heel or face.
Would be cool to see Cena, Hogan & maybe if they could get him for one night The Rock team up as a kinda joining "Era's of WrestleMania" team

I still hope we see Taker V Cena happen at WM 30, Cena deserves better than Duck Dynasty

But I wanna see Lesnar vs Taker who I know has a killer MMA costume bought for the occasion. WWE might get Michael Buffer then instead of Bruce.
If the Wyatts get what they deserve at Mania it'd be a match at the meet & greet vs The Bellas & Eva Marie.

Charisteas

Wyatt's vs Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, and Bruno Sammartino.

I honestly think Brocks ringstyle would be too much for Taker given how broken down he is these days and Brock would have to tone it down and it'd dilute the match imo.

With Cena you don't really have that problem, just the two of them in the same ring is all you need there.

PWInsider confirmed-ish Meltzer's story of Wyatt-Cena. Saying it was talked about 6-8 weeks ago. In a scenario where Wyatt would win the Rumble. However PWInsider thinks WWE is far closer to doing something with Hogan (& Cena) so blah.

The not so reliable Wrestlezone have their own version.

According to a source we spoke with over the weekend, WWE is beginning to put together the WrestleMania 30 pay-per-view card. We saw a memo that was sent to several members of WWE’s creative team within the past week that featured some of the top early matches that are being discussed.

As of this writing, Dave Batista vs. Randy Orton is being talked about to headline the event. According to the creative memo, Randy Orton is still WWE champion at the time.

As we’ve been reporting, John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt is penciled in but is NOT the main event of the show.

As far as The Undertaker is concerned, there are two scenarios. The current plan is to have him face Daniel Bryan with ‘Taker playing the heel. The other scenario is for ‘Taker to face Brock Lesnar but that all depends on whether they agree to face each other or not. We have confirmed that when ‘Taker agreed to a match at WrestleMania 30 about a month ago, he specifically mentioned Daniel Bryan as a potential opponent. As of now, Daniel Bryan is the rumored opponent for The Undertaker. If they go with that plan, that leaves Brock Lesnar without an opponent. If they go the other way, Daniel Bryan is without an opponent.

As noted earlier, there has also been talk of Dolph Ziggler defeating Dean Ambrose for the U.S title heading into WrestleMania. If that were to happen, we’d likely see Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus for the U.S title at WrestleMania 30.

As we’ve been reporting, there are plans for Roman Reigns to get a huge push following the Royal Rumble pay-per-view next month. The current plan is to turn him babyface heading towards WrestleMania. According to the memo, Dean Ambrose and Damien Sandow (heels) vs. Roman Reigns & Big E. Langston (faces) is penciled in for WrestleMania 30. Langston is still being billed as Intercontinental Champion come WrestleMania 30.

A “Team Alpha” (faces) vs. “Team Bravo” (heels) match was also on the memo. Next to the match were the words “To Fill.” All this means is that the teams are still undecided as of this writing.

There was no CM Punk or Divas match listed as these are the very early plans that are simply being talked about. While the rumor is for “The Game” to face CM Punk in a singles match, creative has been discussing a Roman Reigns/HHH match as a “backup plan” in case plans for Punk need to change. If they were to go with the “backup plan”, the tag-team match involving Dean Ambrose and Damien Sandow vs. Roman Reigns & Big E. Langston would obviously need to be changed.

As always, plans can and always do change but according to a memo that was sent to most WWE creative team members within the past week, these are the current WrestleMania 30 plans. Stay tuned as we plan on posting a screenshot and more news on these matches in the coming days.
