10 Booking Ideas For 2015 That Can Make The Entire WWE Universe Happy
4. Turn Roman Reigns Heel (And Brock Lesnar Babyface) At Wrestlemania
Yeah, so Paul Heyman's promo about Roman Reigns in the final interview segment of Monday Night Raw opened up the Pandora's Box of Heyman being so enamored of Roman Reigns that - from a storyline perspective - he could've talked himself directly into wanting to manage him. Brock Lesnar as the killer beast who cares about absolutely nobody but himself makes Lesnar the most unlikely babyface in WWE history since the walking undead undertaker managed by a funeral director. Of course, there's the matter of Reigns playing second fiddle to The Rock, which can fuel the jealousy that would add the heat to Reigns making the turn. Reigns winning the championship and then having Heyman enter the ring to congratulate him, which leads to Lesnar getting angry and a blindside attack from Reigns is golden. Send The Rock down to save Lesnar, and it's even better. Wrestlemania ending with The Rock and Brock Lesnar shaking hands and The Rock putting over Brock Lesnar (especially given the year of great matches as champion) is much more believable than the ending of the Royal Rumble. Roman Reigns focusing on wrestling with Paul Heyman handling the promos is a money idea that must be considered.
