"As far as long-term goes, Reigns vs. Rhodes is the long-term direction for the ultimate destination match. WrestleMania is a strong possibility but this far out there are so many things that can happen.”

Anyone who watches 5 minutes of WWE can tell you that plus Reigns vs Rollins is happening after that likely WM41 or slightly earlier

I think Roman vs Rollins happens before Roman vs Cody

No. They will need to establish Rollins as champion

Reigns and Rollins happens after Reigns loses to Cody

With all the bloodline breaking up stuff ie Reigns/Solo vs Usos and Reigns vs Solo there isn't going to be time to do Reigns vs Rollins and give it proper build in the next 10 months. They might do it at Survivor Series but no title on line..

The whole storyline right now is bloodline breaking up one by one so when Wrestlemania rolls around it's Reigns by himself vs Cody

Agreed, I think Reigns vs Rollins happens at Summerslam.

If it happens at Summerslam, for which title do you think it will be?

Universal title or world heavyweight title ?
They already had it man, and they chose to keep this desperate title run going than do the common sense thing. Why build another whole year to the same thing? If Rhodes wins then we need a rubber match. That’s another 6-12 month build.

Fuck me it’s like Roman v Brock all over again, and look how that turned out.

O sure, and the result will be the same too.

Whatever happened to the money being in the chase or so the IWC frequently told us. WWE already saw that blowing the load too quick ie Kofi results in fans stop caring once WM ends

This 'desperate' title run is one of the most financially successful heel title runs in company history so um yeah..

It won't be same thing anyway. Reigns went into 39 with big advantage of bloodline and that advantage helped him win. He won't have that advantage next WM.

Fuck me it’s like Roman v Brock all over again, and look how that turned out.
It's nothing like that and Brock vs Reigns again is a hugely successful program money wise. 55 fucking million people in India alone watched their WM match last year.
They need a real WWE champion that shows up every week. Roman Reigns is a joke.

Meltzer doesn't know anything. He's consistently wrong when it comes to WWE.

Hell, we just heard a few days ago that it was Cody Rhodes vs Walter at WrestleMania (something that was set up at the Rumble, mind you, so this isn't an out of nowhere idea). Nobody knows what they're doing. Cody vs Roman is a guess.
This should have ended at wrestlemania with Cody as new champion and it should certainly end at Summerslam, but no doubt wwe will stretch this out till wrestlemania.

That's right. It was the perfect time. Cody Rhodes could be having great title matches right now as the new WWE champion.

Well that’s actually encouraging. I hope he’s right for once.

Agreed. With Cody vs Lesnar III also on the show.

Gunther is going to destroy Rollins for the WHC at Survivor Series however.

I’d presume some plans may change after the purchase goes through, but I’d say that the WrestleMania main event options are:

1) Rock vs Reigns/Cody vs Gunther
2) Cody vs Reigns/Lesnar vs Gunther
