WWE Roadblock: 5 Guarantees & 5 Possible Surprises

Could Dean Ambrose really become WWE champion?

By Matt Marsden /

The next stop on the Road to WrestleMania comes this Saturday, and in a welcome change of pace from recent shows, WWE Roadblock appears as though it€™s going to be one hell of an event. March to WrestleMania was first planned in the same mould as 2015€™s WWE Network specials €˜The Beast in the East€™ and €˜Live from Madison Square Garden€™. However, the events leading up the aptly renamed Roadblock €“ because Vince McMahon loves his driving references more than he likes oiled-up, muscular men in tiny underpants €“ provide enough reason to believe some pretty hefty shiz is about to go down. What was once little more than a glorified house show has quickly become an impromptu pay-per-view-like event featuring high profile contests, capped off with a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match between Triple H and Dean Ambrose. Though the impending results of the event appear to be generally predictable considering the Show of Shows€™ card is mostly set in stone, WWE proved it is willing to throw a late curveball by having Seth Rollins cash in Money in the Bank during last year€™s WrestleMania main event. Roadblock could just be a way for WWE to bolster its campaign for WWE Network subscriptions, or it may even serve as a simple apology for the utter shitshow disguised as a professional wrestling event that was Fastlane. Or maybe the event has been manufactured for WWE to make some major last-minute changes to WrestleMania 32. These are five things that are guaranteed and five possible surprises for WWE Roadblock.
