1. Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar loses to Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania. The next night, he F5's Paul Heyman and leaves the ring. Three months later, Paul Heyman shows up in NXT as he's looking for the "one who can conquer the one behind 21-1. "He holds a tournament where the winner is the "Next Paul Heyman Guy" and has a guaranteed match versus Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series -- which in storyline would be the last contracted match that Heyman had negotiated for Lesnar in WWE. Joe wins the tournament, and ends up on TV with Heyman behind him, building up steam towards November. Joe's wins are just as epic as Brock's were when he was a rookie, and when Survivor Series rolls around, the match is even, and ends with Joe winning via disqualification as Brock goes to hit Paul Heyman with a chair, but instead smashes Joe over the head, bustin him open. Joe and Heyman claiming victory and that Brock will "never return to WWE" would be fun, and would give Lesnar a money match for Wrestlemania in say, 2017. But, yeah. Joe vs. Lesnar. You know it'd be amazing. We can dream, right?
