WrestleMania 32: 12 Booking Steps For John Cena vs. Roman Reigns
2. Things Become Really Personal
Reigns cuts a promo where he reveals that he’s constantly being compared to John Cena, and can’t escape Cena’s shadow. Reigns believes that he can only reach the top of the mountain if Cena isn’t there sitting in Reigns’ spot. Because of that Reigns justifies his actions by claiming that it’s his turn, and that Cena’s time is up.
From here, Cena shows his anger and frustration, explaining that he thought he was Reigns’ friend, and that the two of them could complete as wrestlers on equal footing. But Cena realizes that’s impossible, and the two of them start brawling, with security having to separate the two warring wrestlers.
In comes the Authority, who moderate two contract signings: the first is for a one-on-one match between Cena and Reigns at WrestleMania 33, and the second is for a no-contact clause between the two of them for the entire lead-up to ‘Mania.
The remaining weeks are devoted to promos and video packages highlighting both men’s accomplishments, fan support, and training regiments. The purpose of this would be to promote Cena and Reigns as equals heading into WrestleMania.
On the final RAW before WrestleMania, the two of them would be in the ring together, debating on who’s going to win. The segment would close with a WWE App poll asking fans who ‘will win at WrestleMania?’ and the poll shows Reigns at 52% and Cena at 48%, adding even more hype to their match.
