11 Burning Questions For WWE Fastlane 2016

4. Who Will Reigns Pin?

Let€™s accept the belief that Roman Reigns will win Sunday€™s triple threat as fact. (If he doesn€™t, then it throws the calculus for WrestleMania way off.) In that case, who does Reigns pin to become #1 contender? If he pins Brock Lesnar, it takes a lot of shine off of the Beast, but it also would help avenge Roman€™s loss at WrestleMania last year. Perhaps Roman and Dean Ambrose hit several finishing moves on Brock to €œkeep him strong€ in defeat. Or does Roman pin Ambrose, keeping Brock out of the finish? Doing that though would further enrage fans as Dean is a crowd favorite and having WWE€™s golden boy beat him might lead to a Royal Rumble 2015-esque backlash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz9n2PvjbhY It€™s a tough spot, but WWE booked itself into this corner, so it€™ll be interesting to see how they try to get out of it.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
