There is one final major stop on the road to WrestleMania 32, as the WWE presents Roadblock live from Toronto this Saturday on the WWE Network.
Despite the WWE trying to push this as a major event, they've only announced four bouts for the card as of Friday. The show is headlined by a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match pitting title-holder Triple H against Dean Ambrose. Two other titles will also be decided.
Here is our match-by-match preview for WWE Roadblock.
NXT Tag Team Championships: The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) (c) vs. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady w/ Carmella
This will be a nice way to continue to give the NXT brand some exposure on a main roster show. The Revival is due to face American Alpha at NXT Takeover: Dallas on April 1, so it's unlikely the champs will drops the belts here.
The Pick: The Revival
WWE Tag Team Championships: The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston and/or Xavier Woods) (c) vs. The League of Nations (Sheamus & King Barrett) w/ Rusev & Alberto Del Rio
This match is the definition of a slapped together bout despite the teams having a bit of a war of words recently. It also makes no sense since they're both heels, though one can argue The New Day is over enough to be de facto faces. The entertaining trio is coming in on the heels of a Match of the Year candidate with the now-defunct Y2AJ tandem, and there's no reason to see them drop the titles here, especially this close to WrestleMania.
The Pick: The New Day
Singles Match: Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman vs. Bray Wyatt
Anytime "The Beast" is present, it's a big deal, but it's a shame the WWE has wasted The Wyatt Family and threw this match together instead of giving it proper build. It seemed the "Eater of Worlds" was destined for a big match with Lesnar at WrestleMania 32, but instead they settled for a Roadblock clash. This match should be fun as picturing Lesnar throwing Wyatt around the ring is very compelling. Given Lesnar has a match with Ambrose at WrestleMania and Wyatt's role is undefined, the outcome appears obvious.
The Pick: Brock Lesnar
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H (c) vs. Dean Ambrose
Just about seven weeks after winning the richest prize in the game at the Royal Rumble, "The Game" is finally having his first title defense. It'll be interesting to see if Lesnar or Roman Reigns have any impact in how this match ends up. It's possible a DQ or countout finish will occur in this one given the circumstances.
With "The Lunatic Fringe" already slated to face Lesnar and Reigns serving as the No. 1 contender to Triple H's title, it's doubtful the WWE will do anything major to shakeup the title picture this close to WrestleMania. Ambrose has a golden chance to shine in this match and his WrestleMania clash with Lesnar, so the interesting part will be to see how he performs with these opportunities, even if the outcomes don't favor him.
The Pick: Triple H
