Can he win the Heavyweight title?

Overall this was a fun show that had a ton of good to great in-ring action, furthered plenty of storylines and seemed to fly by faster than most episodes. The moment Seth Rollins betrayed them to be part of The Authority, however, the feud concentrated on The Architect and Roman Reigns. The company is now scrambling to recover and will start that process by beginning to set up a tournament for the title that will take place at Survivor Series in two weeks. And it could be the other way around but I think Reigns gets the nod to turn heel or if they wanted to keep building him as a face, you can either have Reigns put on show stealing matches and win the title or have him win and Sheamus comes out and cashes in the MITB contract and screws over Reigns. He was slated to face Rollins at Survivor Series, but those plans have obviously changed. Who goes heel? Ambrose is the obvious choice, but Reigns could make more waves in a new role (imagine a title feud with him and Cena).
– Backstage, Paige spoke to Renee Young about Charlotte and the Divas championship. Bray Wyatt is consistently the best heel night in and night out in the WWE. He’s uber-popular, is perhaps WWE’s best in-ring talent, and can have good matches with nearly anyone on the roster. The WWE has something special but McMahon refuses to pull the trigger on him due to mic skills.
Reigns needed to be presented with a much bigger, much more impressive opportunity.
For the last couple of years, WWE Wrestlemania has always been about The Undertaker. The Swiss Superman then defeats Mr. Money in the Bank to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. “The Animal” had already left the WWE in 2010 mainly because of creative differences, but did make a return in 2014.
Neville was on the beaten team on Monday Night Raw, though, the Newcastle-born grappler losing to The New Day’s Xavier Woods, Big E and Kofi Kingston while teaming with The Usos. Let us know in the comments section below. That’s exactly what WWE needs. Why not give him the belt at the end of the night? It’s possible, but probably unlikely. That’s only become more apparent as he’s ascended to become NXT Champion in the past year.
If you want yet another dark horse, here it is. Among the many WWE stars who gave the World Heavyweight Championship a shot are John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Kane. But you can’t fully dismiss this as a possibility, either.
Rollins, 29, tore his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus during a No Holds Barred main event with Kane when his knee buckled after doing a power bomb spot out of the corner.
Clearly, there are a number of options for the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion, with a variety of roads that WWE could potentially travel. We’ve waited for so long to hear Daniel Bryan’s music hit and for the running knee to connect.

Sure, WWE can tout the mystery surrounding any potential partners for Undertaker and Kane, but with social media being such an integral part of today’s sports entertainment landscape, the answer to that question can easily be answered on any Twitter account, negating the need to actually go out of one’s way to see the show. When the dust settles on November 22 in Atlanta, expect one of those two men to walk out of Philips Arena as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
