    • Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns will square off for the right to take on Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania.

    Following last week’s forced in-ring hiatus, the WWE train rolled back into Denver in dramatic fashion.

    Right from the off, The Authority took charge of the crowd, playing on the frustrations of the WWE Universe in an attempt to shape storyline and make it seem ‘all part of the act’.

    It may not have been received too well by fans but the resulting matches and stipulations going forward prove a nice curveball that should give all the chance to put Royal Rumble disappointment behind them.

    Big, bad Triple H came out with his life partner in crime, Stephanie McMahon, and the pair made some interesting plays designed at spicing up the run-in to Wrestlemania.

    Usually a straight line to the finish line following the Rumble, the WWE have now thrown in Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan at their new PPV, ‘Fast Lane’, for the right to take on Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania.

    Bryan first had to go through Seth Rollins for the right to be in that final showdown, an enthralling encounter which showcased both wrestlers’ claims for a run at the title.

    While the WWE are unlikely to once again shoehorn Bryan into a Wrestlemania main event, this does give Reigns the chance to truly prove himself as the No. 1 contender and a rightful Wrestlemania star in the making.

    Elsewhere, this week’s Raw was very ‘talky’, but we did see another example of the wide array of talent on the roster at the minute.

    Jimmy Uso and Cesaro teased what might yet be a scintillating tag team battle, while Dolph Ziggler and Bray Wyatt gave another superb showing.

    The latter pair are really upping their game and both will be hot on the heels of Reigns, Rollins and Bryan in search of tackling the ‘big guns’, Lesnar and John Cena.

    TRIBUTE OF THE WEEK

    Not a usual part of this column but the last month has seen some nice points to the past from the WWE. This week they looked at Black History Month and paid tribute to some of the first black wrestlers to have made their mark in the company.
