WWE WrestleMania XXX preview

Read on for how I'd book WrestleMania XXX.
Pre-show:
The Usos get the win due to miscommunications between Cesaro and Swagger. This leads to The Usos vs. Cesaro and Swagger for the titles on a future TV episode featuring the final face turn of Cesaro (Zeb and Swagger beat him up). Cesaro vs. Swagger at Extreme Rules. Axel and Ryback are the next challenge for The Usos at Extreme Rules. Eventually Titus and Brodus become a team and I think I'd team Swagger and Sandow, too. The Usos need some challengers.

WrestleMania XXX:
The Shield beat Kane and the New Age Outlaws. No screwy finish or anything here. Just a big babyface win. On Raw, Kane fires NAO out of frustration so they can go back to their behind-the-scenes duties. Kane recruiting Rowan and Harper to help him face The Shield works for me.

For the Divas' Title match, Brie Bella hits Eva Marie with the X Factor in the ring. Before she can make the cover, AJ hits a crossbody or clothesline or something that sends them both out of the ring to the floor. AJ instructs Tamina to hit the Superfly Splash to Brie on the outside, but Tamina sees her opportunity with Eva Marie prone from the X Factor. A conflicted Tamina hits the splash on Eva Marie as AJ's held back on the outside. New Divas' Champ. Naturally this leads to an AJ/Tamina feud for Extreme Rules. On Raw or Smackdown, AJ wants Tamina to give back "AJ's" championship; Tamina wants to keep the gold. AJ slaps her and the feud is on.

The final two in the battle royal are Big E and Alexander Rusev. The two big "hosses" slug it out and Rusev wins due to Lana's handiwork. IC Title feud imminent. Both men are made to look like legit superstars making their mark in WWE.

Bray gets his big moment with a win over Cena. I'd try to resist the temptation to do too cute of a finish. The goal here needs to be to make Bray a big threat. Rematch at Extreme Rules in some kind of cool gimmick match.

Taker over Lesnar. No surprises there.

Bryan beats HHH in a war. No controversial finishes or anything. No "protecting" the largely-retired HHH. Bryan looks like he belongs in there with The Game. Obviously this match needs to go earlier in the show.

Bryan survives the odds to become WWE Champion. Again, no screwy finishes. Bryan earns his big WrestleMania moment to close the show. Bryan vs. HHH vs. Orton vs. Batista at Extreme Rules.

More wrestling tomorrow.
