I make this thread with the hopes that someone from the WWE creative team will read it and take someone's good idea on a buildup story for some of the top matches already in place for Mania (since their own stories are lackluster).
The top matches that are all but set in stone are Cena vs Bray, Orton vs Batista, and Brock vs Taker. DB will more than likely face HHH as Kane is not a suitable opponent at all for him at Mania, and that there's nobody else for HHH to face at this point.
So I ask you, with everything unfolding like we all knew for months, how would you personally spice up the set matches stories to make it interesting and hyped up?
I'd personally like to see...
John Cena vs Bray Wyatt:
While Cena is in the ring about to speak, the lights go out and a video pops up on the screen. It's low quality portable camera which is grainy and showing a house at nighttime. The house is Cena's (as we've all seen on Total Divas) and there's a lamp post with a silhouette of a man in a hat standing under it. It's like a shadow and you can't see who it is but it's very Exorcist movie-esque (with the priest outside about to walk in).
Then the camera cuts off and the next clip is inside the house where you hear a girl talking on the phone saying how "Johns on the road, but I'm at the house alone"...it's Nikki Bella....the. you hear lightning and thunder and the power goes out. Then there's infrared on the camera and the cameraman is inches from Nikki in the dark filming her face and she doesn't know he's there...and she says "hello?" And the camera pans to the right and you see the sheep mask right behind her (ala Michael Myers in Halloween 1-closet scene) and it turns black, but then you hear her scream.
Cena is in shock and runs out of the building. Leading up to Mania he gets ahold of the Wyatts and goes to extreme measures to find out where Nikki is...he beats them badly with a weapon but Bray just keeps laughing saying you'll never find her. Then make some kind of stipulation where if he wins at Mania he'll get her back or something. ...best I got.
Orton vs Batista:
I would have The Authority come out and congratulate Orton on his big win and how they believed in him all along. Orton comes out and sings their praises and then Batista comes out and says he's going to take that title at Mania and show how he's always been the better man since their days in Evolution.
Orton says he was always the focal point of the groups future and how he has proven it throughout the years. Batista turns to Hunter and says "do you believe this snot nose little punk?" And HHH replies with "welllll, he does kinda have a point Dave" and Batista says "if you beat him at Mania, and I beat you at Mania, what's that say about what I'm going to do to this spoiled bitch at Mania?"
Then Flairs music hits...he comes out and greets everyone as a friend. He slowly walks onto the side of the Authority and Orton and says "Dave buddy, with all due respect, Evolution was always about the past-me, the present-Hunter, and the future-Randy...you were always just the muscle. A mere replacement for Mark Jindrack...no offense buddy, but let's not get too carried away here". Then he continues to go on about everything Randy has accomplished.
This leaves Batista speechless and furious. He says nothing and they all leave together looking at Batista like he's a poor outcast...when they leave Batista goes ape shit and flips the announcers table and hits a camera man and continues this backstage.
I think that'd be a good way to spark this fued up. Then let Flair accompany Orton to the ring in the title match.
Brock vs Taker:
I would have Brock come out declaring he is the true #1 contender and wants his title shot, then have the lights turn out and a video plays...the UFC footage where a bloody Brock was exiting the octagon only to be cut off by Taker and challenged with " you wanna do it?!" Then the lights turn on and Taker is there on the ramp. He could then say, "why don't you come get something more prestigious than the title...wudda ya say boy? "
Then Brock flips out and screams "come on!" with Heyman holding him back.
Let's hear some of your guys ideas on the build ups for these matches which are 99% solidified.
