just quoting the fantasy booking stuff after the Wrestlemania card and results from the other thread for now
just quoting the fantasy booking stuff after the Wrestlemania card and results from the other thread for now
Immediate storyline follow up...
- John Cena brings back the open challenges on Raw for the IC champion to celebrate winning the only title that ever alluded him in his career. Finn Balor answers to invoke his rematch clause right now on the night after Wrestlemania. After a 20+ minute TV battle with a hot crowd, Balor calls for reinforcements after a ref bump, and Anderson & Gallows attack Cena to help Balor regain the IC title and form the heel faction, The Balor Club.
- Bobby Roode introduces James Storm in the reformation of Beer Money, as they set their sights on the newly reformed American Alpha.
- Drew McIntyre cuts a promo after a big win on Strowman. Braun Strowman confronts him, but shows him respect and McIntyre reciprocates. When Strowman leaves, The Balor Club make their mark and lay out Drew McIntyre to set up a new program over the IC Title.
- Becky Lynch is confronted, and accepts the rematch challenge from Ronda Rousey for the next Raw PPV in a No Disqualification match. At the next PPV, Ronda Rousey would regain the Raw Women's Title when Shayna, Jessamyne and Marina run in and attack Becky. Ronda and the 4 Horsewomen of MMA are positioned as heels as we build up to a Summerslam showdown between the 4 Horsewomen of WWE vs. 4 Horsewomen of MMA.
- Seth Rollins issues an open challenge for the Universal Title as he makes his mark in a new era on Raw with a fighting champion. After successfully defeating Dean Ambrose to retain the championship, Bray Wyatt immediately follows up his ATGMBR victory by attacking Seth Rollins and positioning himself as the next contender for Seth Rollins championship.
On Smackdown...
- Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Rey Mysterio immediately enter a storyline, but this time, a tag team, as Zelina Vega convinces Andrade 'Cien' Almas to allow Rey Mysterio to take him under his wing and to trust her and Rey to take him to the next level. This is eventually revealed as a ruse after a couple of months, when Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Zelina Vega turn on Rey Mysterio and Vega reveals it was all a ruse to get Rey closer and to eventually take him out of the picture for good.
- The Miz and Shane McMahon have tag team issues and are laid out by The Bar. Eventually, The Bar defeats the team of Shane & The Miz on PPV, which leads to Miz/McMahon having a build up to a match at Summerslam, with the stipulation being the loser has to leave Smackdown.
- Mustafa Ali celebrates his Wrestlemania moment after winning the United States Title. Mustafa Ali successfully defends the championship against Shinsuke Nakamura on Smackdown, and is then attacked by Randy Orton. This leads to a U.S. Title match at the next PPV, where Mustafa Ali goes over Randy Orton clean.
- Daniel Bryan cuts a preachy promo after defeating AJ Styles. Aleister Black makes his main roster debut and makes his presence known by laying out Daniel Bryan. A tournament is set up to determine the next challenger to Daniel Bryan's WWE Title, and Aleister Black quickly becomes acclimated with the main roster audience by successfully going through his opponents and putting on excellent performances in the process.
**
LONG TERM
AJ Styles - moves to Raw in the Superstar Shakeup and is built as the challenger for Seth Rollins' championship, building to a match at Summerslam. AJ Styles loses his title match at Summerslam, and then turns heel by attacking the newly crowned champion, Drew McIntyre, the next night on Raw and aligning with The Balor Club, which turns into "The OGBC," consisting of Styles, Balor, Anderson & Gallows.
Drew McIntyre - becomes a babyface as he battles it out with The Balor Club. Drew McIntyre wins Money in the Bank, and cashes it in the night after Summerslam to become Universal Champion and new face of Monday Night Raw.
Seth Rollins - defends the title a ridiculous number of times between WM and Summerslam, where he drops the title the next night to McIntyre in a straight up match when McIntyre announces he's cashing it in at the start of the night. Seth Rollins moves over to Friday Night Smackdown to gear up for the move to FOX. Will become WWE champion on Smackdown.
Braun Strowman - enters a loose tag team with Drew McIntyre while battling it out with The Balor Club, Bray Wyatt (who tries to recruit Strowman back to The Wyatt Family), Harper/Rowan, Lashley and eventually Sullivan before moving over to Smackdown for FOX.
Bray Wyatt - uses the battle royal victory to position himself as challenger for the Universal Champion. Then reforms The Wyatt Family on Raw and feuds with the likes of Strowman, Rollins, McIntyre, etc., while staying separated from The Balor Club. Wyatt Family turns face in the fall and The Wyatt Family vs. The Club (Balor/Anderson/Gallows) becomes a strong undercard program under Styles/McIntyre for the Universal Title.
Dean Ambrose - shifts over to Smackdown and maintains a strong position in the upper mid-card, floating between the WWE and U.S. Title picture.
Randy Orton - moves over to Raw after putting over Mustafa Ali and Rusev.
Andrade 'Cien' Almas - becomes a star after turning on, and going over, Rey Mysterio. Almas is geared up to be a big part of Smackdown on FOX and maintaining a high position on the card, becoming a mainstay in the WWE Title picture along with Bryan, Black, Ali and Rollins.
Daniel Bryan - haven't decided if he'd drop the title to Aleister Black and regain it for a summer program, or hold it all the way through the summer. This depends on if WWE wants a WWE Title match in Saudi Arabia in May. We'll say Aleister Black takes the title off Daniel Bryan and then Bryan regains it when he snaps and loses his god damn mind to almost kill Black.
Aleister Black - wins the WWE Title off Daniel Bryan, drops it a month or two later when Bryan tries killing him. Aleister Black maintains a high spot in the WWE Title picture, and will shift in and out of programs with the likes of Daniel Bryan, Andrade 'Cien' Almas and Seth Rollins throughout the year at the top of the card on Smackdown. Will likely win the title back by the end of 2019 in this fantasy booking, or win the Royal Rumble to get a title match vs. WWE champion Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania 36.
