Analyzing 12 possible Wrestlemania 31 matches

This year’s Wrestlemania has the potential to be one of the biggest ever. With one of the strongest rosters in years and a strong supply of undercard talent, mixed with the NXT newcomers, this year’s event should blow the last one out of the water which in itself was a big one. With the Royal Rumble only days away where the road to Wrestlemania will officially begin, I thought I'd take the time to analyze some possible matches for the stellar event that will be Wrestlemania 31.

#1 Triple H v Sting

Probably the most obvious Wrestlemania match thus far. Sting has only made two appearances yet WWE have obviously been building towards an epic Sting v HHH match at the grandest stage of them all.  At Survivor Series Sting debuted, attacking Triple H and helping put The Authority out of power. He then appeared on Raw, distracting The Authority and allowing Cena to win back the jobs of Ziggler, Ryback, and Rowan. A clearly irate Triple H stood atop the announce table furiously screaming at Sting. Many fans may rather see a Sting v Taker dream matchup, but all indications so far instead point to a match with HHH which will surely still deliver. The bout may also feature some sort of stipulation about The Authority being kicked out of power again.     

Predicted winner: Sting

Despite being the most obvious match this far out, there are still multiple different routes they could go with this rivalry. Another option is to put Rollins in the match against Sting. Rollins is an incredible in ring performer and would be able to carry any deficiencies in ability due to Stings age. If Rollins were to face Sting, Triple H could easily face someone else like Ziggler. Another option, which may seem unlikely but would ultimately work, would be to book a tag match featuring HHH & Rollins v Sting & Ziggler. This would lessen the work load on the aging Sting (and HHH). Another option would be to book the dream match, Sting v Taker. However both are now very old and may struggle to perform at an adequate level. Not to mention that all of Stings appearances have involved The Authority and seem to be leading to some sort of big pay-off.

Possible alternatives: Sting v Rollins, Triple H & Rollins v Sting & Ziggler, Sting v Undertaker, Triple H v Ziggler
