1. Surprise: Dean Ambrose Could Become WWE World Heavyweight Champion
It's a pretty weak cop-out to guarantee Triple H will hold onto his title and then jump over to the other side of the fence, and Triple H is by all means expected to walk into WrestleMania 32 as WWE Champion, but there may be an interesting scenario brewing behind the scenes that almost sounds too outlandish to be true. If you subscribe to backstage rumours, there are talks WWE officials have been brewing a plan B for WrestleMania 32's main event in case Roman Reigns is not up to scratch for the Show of Shows following his deviated septum surgery in late February. Although patients generally recover from the surgery within a week, there are a number of potential complications that can arise. It has been almost three weeks since Reigns' surgery and, on top of not commenting on Twitter in over a week, Reigns has been pulled from this weekend's busy schedule. Although it is reported Reigns may return to in-ring action on the 18th, WWE's actions in the past two weeks give enough reason to believe the aforementioned plan B may currently be in action. If Reigns cannot commit to a prominent role in the lead-up to main-eventing WrestleMania 32, Dean Ambrose winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship allows the company some flexibility. Not only would Ambrose fans be appeased, WWE can either make the Ambrose-Brock Lesnar match the main event of WrestleMania, or somehow plan a Fatal Four-Way featuring Ambrose, Reigns, Triple H and Brock Lesnar. Is this radical chain of events nothing more than the wishful thinking of a writer driven mad by poor booking? Perhaps, in fact it's likely, but things don't quite add up with Roadblock - and WrestleMania 32 - right around the corner.
