1. TLC - Roman Reigns Vs. Kevin Owens - TLC Match For Number One Contender Status
Kevin Owens will be more than ready for main event status by the end of 2016, and he's a natural fit for a match with Roman Reigns at TLC. The story would be that Lesnar isn't going to wrestle again until Royal Rumble, so at TLC there'll be a number one contender Tables, Ladders And Chair match. Reigns will be in the match based upon his former champion status, while Owens will qualify for the bout off the back of a main event push in the latter part of 2016. In order to save Reigns versus Lesnar for 'Mania, Owens would get the upset win at TLC. Reigns would be taken out by a heel, perhaps Strowman to kick their feud off once more. That would then allow for Lesnar versus Owens at Royal Rumble, and Strowman versus Reigns on the undercard (possibly in a Royal Rumble qualifying match). Later on that night, Reigns would win the Rumble to get his big rematch. It is this sort of booking strategy which will define WWE not just for the next year, but for the next few years, with Roman Reigns as the franchise star and featuring in all of the big PPV main events.
