I honestly couldn't tell you how or why I came up with this idea, but I did. This is how I would have booked WrestleMania (with bits from months prior to help with storylines)
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal opens the show and everyone not booked on the card competes. The battle royal is won by Cody Rhodes.
The Usos (c) vs. The Real Americans
Instead of a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Title match in the pre-show, we get a two-on-two title match on the main card. The two best teams at the time square off, with The Real Americans getting the win and a well deserved tag title reign.
Dolph Ziggler vs. John Cena
John Cena and Dolph Ziggler feud for a couple of months, with each getting one pay-per-view victory over the other heading into WrestleMania. In the rubber match, Dolph Ziggler comes away with a hard fought victory and is permanently elevated into the main event scene.
The Shield vs. The Wyatt Family
One of the matches that absolutely should have happened at this show, The Shield and the Wyatt Family since SummerSlam, and neither really pull an edge against the other. At WrestleMania, its settled once and for all who the better faction is, and The Shield come away with a hard fought victory over the Wyatts.
AJ Lee vs. Paige
In this reality, Paige is called up to the main roster around the Royal Rumble and declares she wants to be Divas Champion. She fights through every other diva on the roster in order to get her shot at AJ Lee at WrestleMania. Paige comes away with the huge win against AJ, getting her first Divas Title reign, and allowing AJ Lee the time off she had gotten already.
Batista vs. Triple H
Batista returns at Royal Rumble, as advertised, but it comes down to him and Daniel Bryan. Bryan is able to eliminate Batista, and win the Rumble. Triple H becomes angry with Batista for allowing Bryan to win the Rumble, but Batista says Bryan is the better man. Triple H gets so infuriated with Batista that he threatens to fire him. Vince McMahon makes a match at WrestleMania, between Batista and Triple H, and if Triple H wins, then Batista is fired. Batista comes away with the win over Triple H.
The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
The lone match that stayed exactly the same. Same build up, same match, same result. Undertaker is 21-1 no matter what.
Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton (c)
With Randy Orton as the champion since SummerSlam, and having cashed in against Daniel Bryan after a Triple H Pedigree, the two meet for the first time fairly one on one. The only way to follow The Streak being broken is for Daniel Bryan to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which he does.
