1. Brock Lesnar
At WrestleMania XXXI, Brock Lesnar had the WWE World Heavyweight Championship stolen from him by Seth Rollins and a well-timed cashing in of his Money in the Bank briefcase. How poetic would it be for The Beast Incarnate to return in time to regain the title he never should have lost, thus setting up a potential showdown with Roman Reigns in time for WrestleMania in Dallas? Lesnar is the greatest box office attraction WWE has to exploit at this point, and while the intention may never have been to utilize him at Survivor Series, manipulating the dates or throwing more money at him to return to television as the top star in the promotion would be a fantastic idea given the lack of depth on the roster. Lesnar is a believable ass kicker, which makes him a tremendous champion to reign over the company. Not to mention the fact that his title reign helped return that special feeling to championship matches, making them even more anticipated than normal. At a time when John Cena and Randy Orton are sidelined for different reasons, and Rollins is now out for the majority of the next year, riding into Suplex City with the WWE title as a gift to its Prime Minister of Ass Kickings is the best move for Vince McMahon to make.
