    It'll be someone in the chamber match since the top contenders are all in that match. I can't imagine who else they'd pivot to. I could see them go with Kofi. They can't go with Joe or Orton without making it a triple threat since they're both heels. It won't be Hardy. So either you get a triple threat of some kind, or you get Styles-Bryan or Kofi-Bryan. Luke Harper is supposedly close to returning, so maybe we see Harper and Rowan in Bryan's corner against Kofi and New Day. Let the Bryan faction lay out New Day a couple times and they get instant heat for the match.

    That said, I don't think they go that route. I think we'll see Styles and Bryan again. I hope I'm wrong.

    I don't know who else would warrant an opportunity beside any of the guys on the shelf that are supposedly ready to return. You've got Owens and Bray Wyatt. There's Sami Zayn, but I can't see Vince allowing two glorified cruiserweights to wrestle for the strap at WM. Same with Rey or Andrade.

    There's Cena, but you know they'd work in a Bella subplot.

    Same question with Asuka if she still has the belt. With Becky and Charlotte on the Raw side, who's left that would warrant a WM opportunity? Naomi or Carmella? Do they move over Sasha, Bayley, Bliss or Natalya (please, not Nia)? Strap the rocket to Nikki Cross?

    I forgot about Cena. I could see them going that route, too. Let Cena break Flair's record at WM.

    I have a feeling it will be a fatal-four way match: Bryan vs. Styles vs. Orton vs. Miz.

    Miz will be tied up with Shane, unfortunately. Cena looks to be pegged for McIntyre. With more build, they could've gone the Cena-Bryan route ... but they've planted no seeds for it and would deserve more fanfare than they can give at this point.

    If they are doing a multiple man match, Joe - who has yet to appear at Mania - better be included.

    I am hoping for a pivot to Miz. Sam Roberts was suggesting that a legend title match vs Rey Mysterio could be in the works.

    Its interesting. I rather like that its wide open. I’d be pretty happy with any of the above besides Orton.

    Joe will be in the pre-show battle royal, tossed over the rope by Curt Hawkins.

    That would've been nice to build Ali, but he shouldn't be getting that kind of build this early. The story fits Kofi a lot better. Plus, Kofi can make more of it. The storytelling with him and Styles was incredible. You wouldn't have gotten that with Ali.

    Ali is really talented, I just do not understand why the WWE are pushing him like this right now. Why are they so high on him early on? I
