Roman Reigns & Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton & Seth Rollins: Raw, February 23, 2015

One night after their hellacious battle at WWE Fastlane, Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan join forces against the returning Randy Orton and Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins.

It seems Daniel Bryan’s journey to the main event of WrestleMania wasn’t meant to be this year, but that doesn’t mean the “Yes!” Movement has slowed down. Quite the contrary, as The Beard looked stronger than ever while teaming with Roman Reigns on Raw in a winning effort over Seth Rollins & Randy Orton. But with the WWE World Heavyweight Title now out of sight on The Road to WrestleMania, what’s next for WWE’s “Yes!” Man?

After a punishing showdown at WWE Fastlane that saw Rusev defeat John Cena in controversial fashion, will we see the Cenation leader ever get another chance to topple The Super Athlete?

The United States Champion and Lana will be at SmackDown, but what will the outspoken pair have to say? Unless the dominating Superstar and The Ravishing Russian have a sudden change of heart, it’s unlikely they are going to change their mind and grant Cena a rematch at The Show of Shows. Will they reveal whom Rusevdoeswant to fight at The Showcase of the Immortals? Might Cena interrupt and use “reckless abandon” to help bring the foreign Superstar around to his way of thinking? Anything’s possible on The Road to WrestleMania.
