Lets accept the belief that Roman Reigns will win Sundays triple threat as fact. (If he doesnt, 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 Romans loss at WrestleMania last year. Perhaps Roman and Dean Ambrose hit several finishing moves on Brock to keep 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 WWEs golden boy beat him might lead to a Royal Rumble 2015-esque backlash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz9n2PvjbhY Its a tough spot, but WWE booked itself into this corner, so itll be interesting to see how they try to get out of it.
