How every 2017 WWE PPV main event after WrestleMania 33 should be booked

Things kick off at WWE Payback

WrestleMania 33 is just around the corner, and all eyes are fixed on Orlando to see who is triumphant at The Showcase of the Immortals. Is Bray Wyatt finally going to get a solid Wrestlemania moment? Can Brock Lesnar get one over Goldberg?

While all of these are legitimate questions, I would like to cast my mind towards the remaining WWE PPVs in 2017. With the kind of roster at its disposal, WWE has the potential to make 2017 a glorious year with the right booking decisions.

Today, I'm going to lay out how I think every PPV main event after WrestleMania 33 should be booked for this year and we'll see how the WWE's booking process matches up against it.

So, without any further ado, here is how every 2017 WWE PPV main event after Wrestlemania 33 should be booked:

Payback – Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns

Okay, before you start rioting, just hold up and let me explain things. Brock Lesnar is almost sure to come out of Wrestlemania as the new WWE Universal Champion. With this in mind, the key here is setting up a strong challenger for him and that challenger is Roman Reigns. Not just any Roman Reigns, but a heel Roman Reigns.

We can set this up on the post-Wrestlemania 33 episode of Raw. With the return of Finn Balor from injury, we now have Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman all in the picture.

We set up a No 1 Contender's tournament for the right to challenge Lesnar. Balor vs. Owens, Rollins vs. Joe, and Reigns vs. Strowman with the three winners going into a Triple Threat Elimination match.

Balor manages an upset victory over Kevin Owens against the odds. But, then we start seeing the rising influence of Triple H and his new posse as Owens interferes to cost Rollins against The Samoan Submission Machine. This sets up Owens vs Rollins for the US Title nicely. Finally, Reigns triumphs over Strowman in typical Reigns fashion.

For the Triple Threat elimination match, we see Joe eliminated first. When it looks Balor has the match in the bag, Triple H and his crew attack. Reigns gives a cocky smile, Spears Finn Balor, picks up the victory and shakes Triple H's hand. He is the newest member of New Evolution.

Despite this, Brock walks out of Payback with the gold. We can't have him lose the title this early into his reign.
