Given how Fastlane ended, it makes all the sense in the world to add Daniel Bryan into the Reigns vs. Edge Universal Championship match. It puts Bryan and Reigns on opposite ends of the Good/Evil spectrum and leaves Edge as the man in the middle who gets to play both sides. From there you either have Reigns retain through some nefarious means or have Edge snap back into full "Ultimate Opportunist" mode and beat Bryan without having to pin Roman.

I predicted the match after Elimination Chamber, and now that Ripley is confirmed to debut on Raw this week it feels like this is the direction they're going. I know there's murmurs of Charlotte having issues with the company and getting pulled from WrestleMania advertising, but for now let's assume all of that gets ironed out.

It's been pretty obvious that these two are getting a one-on-one, and seeing Rollins rant about disrespect after his match with Nakamura made it a certainty.

Out of the ashes ... THE FIEND HAS EMERGED?! #WWEFastlane pic.twitter.com/eu0jfo031V

The Fiend is back and looking extra crispy! They've already hinted at Orton needing to face his past mistakes, which screams "Firefly Fun House Match II." I don't expect it to be exactly like last time — I'm not even sure if we'll see another Firefly Fun House segment again, Wyatt's gave off more of a silent Kane w/ Paul Bearer vibe — but I still think it'll be the show's lone Cinematic Match. Plus, it's the best shot we have at a John Cena cameo!

You knew once the green slime came out on Raw that this is where they're headed. The only question now is what stipulation they'll give it for Shane to use weapons and jump off that pirate ship. My guess is a Street Fight.

Mustafa Ali just got kicked out of Retribution and might be off TV for a bit to deal with his PCL injury, and that leaves Riddle free for Mania. My sincere hope is that Keith Lee is able to make it back in time and challenge him for the US Title.

Because:
a) it would be fun
b) they're actually tying it into Zayn's conspiracy documentary
c) it would be FUN!
