WWE TLC 2015: 9 Swerves That Could Happen

3. Roman Reigns Becomes WWE Champion

There's a very good chance Roman Reigns will finally get a long run with the WWE World Heavyweight Title starting at WrestleMania. WWE seem to like the idea of having Roman's story follow a similar thread to that of Daniel Bryan in late-2013/early-2014. There's one major flaw in that thinking however, Reigns is not as popular with fans as Bryan was. Given that Sheamus has only held the WWE Title since Survivor Series, it would raise eyebrows if he were to lose it. The company may just view Reigns as being better off chasing the belt for now, but that doesn't mean he couldn't win. Plans change in WWE all the time, so there may be a push to see how fans take to Roman as champ in the interim before 'Mania. It would feel like a swerve if Roman Reigns became WWE Champion at TLC. It does seem like he's poised to win the Royal Rumble, which would irk fans. In order to avoid that, WWE could book him to bag the belt at TLC, then get screwed out of it in some fashion in February. Then, the dethroned champion would have valid claim for a rematch at WrestleMania.
