5 bucks says it's gonna be a bigger announcement than whatever Dixie Carter considers to be huge announcements. Setting the bar awfully low...

My money is on Reigns defending his Rumble win against Bryan at Fast Lane and getting the clean win over him, making him look better going into Mania. That's going to make fans furious. That would be like repeating the same mistake at back-to-back PPVs. Honestly, the best thing Vince can do now is just put the strap on Roman at WM and go forward from there. There comes a point for any leader where backpedaling from a poor decision will just result in both your detractors and your advocates respecting you even less. There's still plenty of opportunities to move it to Bryan later this year. Just don't yank the fans' chains again by teasing Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose, etc, as champ unless you're going to do it.

I think HHH's huge Raw announcement is a swerve. I bet it'll have nothing to do with adding a fan favorite into the Mania main event. It's going to be a desperate attempt to get Reigns over.
What is the "controversy"? Reigns won fair and square. The only controversial things that happened were Rowan taking Axel's spot, Show and Kane jumping back in after being eliminated, and Rock running in for the save.
Oh yeah, you could also argue that the Rosebuds helping Kofi was also controversial I suppose.
HHH is a heel. Even though his promo Thursday was somewhat face-like I still feel this whole huge announcement deal will lead to more fan-rage!!!

And it's kinda stupid, because WWE really can't afford to piss the fans off anymore.

He's going to announce that he murdered Vince, Linda, Steph, Shane O'Mac and all of the kids and then he's going to pull out a gun and kill himself on live television... never to be outdone by Benoit again. Or did he do that last time he promised a huge announcement deal?

In kayfabe, The Authority hates both Reigns and Bryan, so I can't see how making that match would really make any sense, unless the goal is to turn Reigns heel. I expect the announcement to either be some sort of trolling, or basically insignificant.

I honestly hope it'll be a fatal 4 way for the wwe championship, or a 6 man match (yeah right)
However, if it's a fatal 4 way I see: Daniel Bryan Brock lesnar Roman Reigns Seth Rollins
6 man: Daniel Bryan Brock lesnar Roman reigns Seth Rollins Randy orton HHH

It'll be a troll thing. That's become HHH's new gimmick. Though acting like a face was weird.

WWE.com says its about The Rock. So that should end any speculation about Daniel Bryan.

"Roman Reigns will defend his WM title shot in a gauntlet at Fast Lane. He will go up again Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins, The Demon Kane, and the World's Largest Athlete The Big Show. Good luck kid."
*Roman goes on to beat all three clean and in dominant fashion and all the fans accept Reigns as "the man" going forward*

I agree - the time to change course was BEFORE the Royal Rumble - they knew what they were getting themselves into & they still decided to stick to "the plan" - now is no different. Put the belt on Reigns at 'Mania and allow him to grab that "brass ring" they keep talking about - pulling the rug out from under him now will do even more harm than good. As long as they keep Daniel Bryan in an interesting program, far away from the title picture (for now) the casual fans will eventually come around when it comes to Reigns - IWC fans are rarely happy anyway, so no sense in switching course to please them NOW. I don't understand why they have such a hard time developing interesting programs for anyone who is not the "main event".

As much as that would do for Rusev, Reigns/Rusev just wouldnt make sense. The crowd is going to be so pissed when Reigns wins. As will they be if Rusev beats The Rock. Who do they cheer for? It would be an awesome feud if Reigns wasnt put in this no win situation, honestly.

I've always considered Edge to be Cena's greatest foe, maybe Reigns and Rusev can get something like that going? Reigns comes close to beating Rusev once and Lana gets him DQ'ed? You may be right about the crowd though. I dunno, but the idea of Rusev going over Rock AND Cena is something I would personally do. I actually enjoy him and if they play their cards right, they can have a top heel for years.

Just right now, Im not too sure how the crowd will react to it. Maybe it could help Reigns get some lovin back a few months down the road, if Rusev can generate enough heat following pinning The Rock. But if they hot shot that feud, it could be an instant disaster

if they wanted to solidify Rusev? hell yes that would be the way......
Also to those saying that the RR winner HAS to win the strap in the ME of WM I say this to you.....
RR 2008 Winner John Cena: Did not win title @ WM XXIV
RR 2009 Winner Randy Orton: Did not win title @ WM XXV (terrible ME)
RR 2010 Winner Edge: did not win title @ WM XXVI (very disappointing match)
RR 2011 Winner Alberto Del Rio : did not win title @ WM XXVII
RR 2012 Winner Sheamus: Won title in a non match in the opener of WM XXVIII
