On this winding, unpredictable road to WrestleMania 32, one huge stop will be Roadblock this Saturday in Toronto.
The main event of the big WWE Network special will feature Triple H defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Dean Ambrose. The winner of that match will then hold the richest prize in the game heading into the WWE's marquee event on April 3.
Here are possible outcomes and swerves to Triple H vs. Dean Ambrose.
1) Game On
The most likely and predictable outcome would see Triple H defeat Ambrose and retain his championship. The WWE has been building an encounter between "The Game" and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania for months, so it doesn't seem logical for them to take the belt out of the picture.
Considering Triple H screwed Reigns over time and time again -- including at the Royal Rumble -- the WWE appears to be building toward the inevitable babyface comeback at the "Show of Shows."
2) Ambrose Asylum
It's a long shot, but the WWE could pull a complete switcheroo by having Ambrose somehow escape Toronto with his first taste of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. It would certainly muddle the WrestleMania picture (possibly shaking up what could be a bland card).
On one hand, Reigns is guaranteed a title shot, so he would then be No. 1 contender to Ambrose. On the other, the "Lunatic Fringe" is already set to battle Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, so it would change things considerably. These factors are why it's unlikely Ambrose wins the title.
3) Non-Finish
The WWE could pull a scenario where Ambrose wins by DQ or countout to keep his momentum alive, while the belt remains on Triple H. "The Game" could also either get himself DQed or counted out to play the role of the scared heel heading into WrestleMania.
4) Rivals Redemption
Reigns has been absent from television for recent weeks, so it's possible he makes his return and gets involved in this match in some capacity. If he attacks Triple H and gets Ambrose disqualified, that could lead to an interesting story between the two buddies.
If he makes a comeback and saves Ambrose from a beat down, it's also plausible. Lesnar also has been away and could further his feud with Ambrose by costing him this match.
5) McMahon Mania
Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon may be derailed momentarily by the Shane McMahon and Undertaker storyline, but they should never be forgotten. This father-daughter combination has been a thorn in Reigns' side forever, and they haven't been very kind to Ambrose, either.
The McMahon connection could definitely play a role in how this match plays out.
