I'm seriously stuck on the World Title match. I can book like six epic matches that I can reasonably see happening given current deals and such (and no one coming back from the dead or permanent injury), but I just cannot find an obviously HUGE World Title match.
John Cena defending the World Title against someone seems like the best bet right now. Or chasing his sixteenth title at WrestleMania. But given that he's likely to be booed, I think casting him as the defending champion is the best bet.
I had this thought at the start of the year, but then let it go, but now it is creeping back: How about Finn Balor? I know it would be his first WrestleMania and it might seem surreal to put him in such a spot, but the guy has been astonishing in NXT so far. His entrance at WrestleMania alone would make it feel like a big fight. Balor himself has said that his dream Mania opponent is Cena, and it'd be a "franchise passing" moment that might actually not get shit on (like Reigns might).
Even if the reign of Balor is short-lived, it could still be a fairly epic moment. And it's not like the WWE are about to cut their losses with Balor. Might as well give him a shot.
