Terry Gyimah
Championship Contender
If anything how I would book the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from now to WrestleMania 33 in terms of the title picture:
(May PPV) Payback- Roman Reigns (c) vs AJ Styles= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
I would have Reigns win the title but by doing it in a controversial manner by cheating of course. Therefore it would basically build up Roman's arrogance as a cocky, self-absorbed champion since he would say he is not a bad guy he is not a good guy he is the guy and he would basically have to resort to cheating just to hold on to his title which would just add to the attitude change. Reigns would basically still give that mantra of not being a bad guy but that he still had to do what he had to do to come out on top and for that he makes no apologies.
(May PPV) Extreme Rules- Roman Reigns (c) vs Triple H= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
This is where I would bring Triple H back to WWE TV with him demanding his one on one rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and Triple H he is technically still entitled to a rematch for the title that Triple H in his mind lost at WrestleMania 32 to Roman Reigns. The rivalry would essentially continue but the fans of course would be more behind Triple H than ever especially considering Roman's new attitude and their match at Extreme Rules I would either make it a Last Man Standing Match or a Hell in A Cell Match. For me preferably their match would be decided in a Last Man Standing Match and considering their rivalry it only makes sense. Reigns would basically be solidified as "The Guy" by not only beating Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match but by beating Triple H not once but twice.
(June PPV)- Money in the Bank- Roman Reigns (c) vs Seth Rollins= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
This is where I would have Rollins make his triumphant return back from injury and of course Rollins would demand his rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a title that he never even lost. Reigns being the WWE World Heavyweight Champion he would tell Rollins that he has his match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns then tells Rollins he will beat him just like he did Triple H not once but twice but that he will also beat Rollins just like AJ Styles. Reigns then tells Rollins that as soon as he beats him he will put him back on the shelf right where Reigns in his mind feels like Rollins belongs. Dean Ambrose for me he would win the Money in the Bank briefcase at the PPV but then Reigns would beat Rollins controversially by use of a steel chair coming into play but also putting his feet on the ropes for leverage to pin Rollins without the referee seeing. Reigns' heel turn would essentially be complete right here.
(July PPV)- Battleground- Roman Reigns (c) vs Seth Rollins II= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
The rematch would happen right here at this PPV because Rollins of course would want another match considering the way Reigns won back at Money in the Bank. The fans would be more behind Seth Rollins than they ever were before here and Reigns would of course turn Rollins down refusing. The Authority would get involved basically giving Rollins his match against Reigns because they would want the title off of Reigns at any cost but deep down they really would side with Roman basically turning on Rollins with Triple H costing Rollins the title. Reigns would of course go over basically aligning himself with The Authority.
(August PPV)- SummerSlam- Roman Reigns (c) vs John Cena= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Reigns
Cena would end up becoming the new #1 Contender for Reigns' title by basically stepping up. Cena of course wants to end Reigns' title reign because not only does he want to be champion again but that he wants to be the one to finally shut Reigns up basically accusing him of being a hypocrite by aligning himself with The Authority turning his back on the WWE Universe when he said he would never sell out. Reigns then basically would say that he is not the bad guy he is not the good guy he is the guy and that he wants to be the guy to beat the guy who runs the place and that the WWE Universe turned their backs on him way back when in 2015 as soon as he won the Royal Rumble Match. Reigns could go on a tirade saying how he tried being the nice guy playing up to the fans and it got him nowhere and that he is all about himself now and no one else but that he is not a member of The Authority but that he finally sees things from their POV. Reigns would basically win this match but barely after a long and hard fought match but then cue Ambrose with his Money in the Bank briefcase teasing a cash-in as his music plays and he comes out at the end of the show with briefcase in hand taunting Reigns. The 2 former brothers face off in a staredown to end SummerSlam.
(September PPV)- Night of Champions- Roman Reigns (c) vs Antonio Cesaro= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
Cesaro would become #1 Contender by winning a 20-man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal to become #1 Contender by last eliminating Rollins. Cesaro the wild card no one expected him to be here much less be "the guy" to challenge Reigns for the title but that since he is that he is going to do us all a favor and save us from Reigns' reign of terror. Reigns then basically calls Cesaro a pretender and that he will basically crush Cesaro's hopes and dreams basically doing the same to him that he has done to all the others before him and that no one has or ever will beat him for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns would go over again but he would do it cleanly this time by beating Cesaro cleanly right in the middle of the ring. Reigns would somehow counter out of the Sharpshooter sending Cesaro flying and when he does Reigns goes into the corner and comes right out spearing the living daylights out of Cesaro.
(October PPV)- Hell in a Cell- Roman Reigns (c) vs Dean Ambrose= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
The 2 former brothers finally collide with one another but in Satan's structure inside the Devil's playground inside Hell in A Cell. Considering the build-up it would be perfect if you think about it and then there is always the option of Ambrose using his "Plan B" that being the Money in the Bank briefcase to cash in on Reigns in the event if Ambrose loses. The brutality that both men have that they both share this match would be as brutal as they come as far as Hell in a Cell is concerned and as for who goes over? Reigns would somehow go over because a mystery person would get involved in the match pretty much costing Ambrose the title but the mystery person would of course be a masked man. Reigns would watch this all happen and of course after the masked man gets involved Reigns crawls into the cover pinning Ambrose in a war of attrition. But we are left with the question of who is the masked man?
(November PPV)- Survivor Series- Roman Reigns (c) vs Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
The masked man in the build-up would be revealed to be Samoa Joe former TNA standout NXT stalwart finally called up to the main roster with Joe's first feud being Ambrose...Reigns would basically go on and on about how he is practically a One Man Army until he is interrupted by Heyman who basically says that until he beats this man he is nothing his entire championship reign means nothing until...then Lesnar's music hits and Lesnar comes out. Lesnar basically competes in his first Survivor Series PPV since Survivor Series 2003 but also could Lesnar be the man who finally ends Reigns' title reign? WrestleMania 31 rematch right here it basically ends in Reigns beating Lesnar but just barely because Lesnar in this match would suplex the hell out of Reigns basically beating the holy hell out of him the entire match but somehow winning by resorting to a low blow and an exposed turnbuckle in the match. Post-match Lesnar would basically beat the hell out of Reigns taking him to Suplex City some more and cue Ambrose's cash-in attempted cash-in because Joe would stop him yet again from cashing in.
(December PPV)- TLC- Roman Reigns (c) vs Randy Orton= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
Orton after a long lay-off that I would have him take after SummerSlam basically returns again but here at Tables, Ladders and Chairs to be the one to face Reigns but as for what kind of match these 2 will have? A Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match and both men have experience in this match which of course would go on last but Orton would come close to winning the title but Reigns would somehow win this match going over Orton cleanly.
(January 2017 PPV)- Royal Rumble- Roman Reigns (c) vs Bray Wyatt= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
I would have Bray Wyatt finally get his shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...a 2015 rivalry renewed right here but role reversal with Wyatt as a babyface and Reigns as the heel. Wyatt he would basically cut promos on Reigns calling him out for the hypocrite he is but also for saying that he has become everything that he said he hated but that all of it to become a success will all be for naught especially when he knocks him off that pedestal. Wyatt would basically play mind games with Reigns in the build-up with the lights going out after the Wyatt signature goes off in the build-up but also Wyatt attacking Reigns in the build-up and Reigns also attacking Wyatt in the build-up. This rivalry would basically get personal again really fast but who goes over? Reigns would but Wyatt would come so close within a hair but someone would get involved in this match costing Wyatt the title but who would it be? It would be Finn Balor but as for who would win the 2017 Royal Rumble Match? Rollins would win it basically eliminating Mr. Money in the Bank Dean Ambrose last because they would be in the final 2
(February 2017 PPV)- Fastlane= Roman Reigns (c) vs John Cena vs Randy Orton vs AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe vs Kane (Elimination Chamber Match)= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion
(Cash in)- Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns= Winner: New WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dean Ambrose
Reigns would have to be forced to defend his title against not 1 not 2 not 3 not 4 but 5 other guys in the Elimination Chamber...I would bring the Chamber Match back for Fastlane to determine who goes to Mania as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion but who goes over? Reigns would basically eliminating Cena last in the Chamber to retain his title but then cue Ambrose who comes out post-match to cash in on a weakened, vulnerable Reigns...no interruptions Ambrose is cashing in as he's doing it. Ambrose cashes in successfully on Reigns ending Reigns' near-year long title reign to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion ending Reigns' reign of terror to become champion for the first time. Rollins then comes out post-match after the cash-in to stare down with Ambrose the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
(WrestleMania 33)- Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose (c) vs Seth Rollins (2017 Royal Rumble Match winner)
Ambrose would be celebrating his title win of course and here you have Reigns to cut it short by saying he wants his rematch and he isn't going to go anywhere until he gets it but then cue Rollins to interrupt as he basically tells Reigns that unlike him he actually won the 2017 Royal Rumble Match so he has more of a right to be there than Reigns does seeing as how he lost the title. Reigns basically says that he is entitled to a rematch and that he has a rematch clause as Ambrose the WWE World Heavyweight Champion tells them that they are going to have to sort it out amongst themselves but that if he had it his way he would defend his title against the both of them. Cue The Shield Triple Threat Match as it finally happens. Ambrose defends his title against both Rollins and Reigns but who goes over? Rollins goes over to finally win back the title that he never lost by pinning Reigns which basically sets up Ambrose vs Rollins but both would be essentially babyfaces going at it.
(May PPV) Payback- Roman Reigns (c) vs AJ Styles= Winner: Still WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns
I would have Reigns win the title but by doing it in a controversial manner by cheating of course. Therefore it would basically build up Roman's arrogance as a cocky, self-absorbed champion since he would say he is not a bad guy he is not a good guy he is the guy and he would basically have to resort to cheating just to hold on to his title which would just add to the attitude change.
