Roman Reigns surprised everyone by announcing his return on the 25 February episode of WWE Raw. The Star who battled leukaemia is on remission and he is back to his yard. This would certainly be great news for the creative team who had been struggling to give compelling storylines without their marquee talents like Bray Wyatt, Kevin Owens and the Big Dog himself, Reigns.

The return of the Big Dog opens up a lot of possibilities. He can be expected to bring the roof down on the road to WrestleMania 2019. The current superstars can mix up with him and find a new direction as WrestleMania progresses.

Fastlane stands to be a refreshing pay per view before WrestleMania. In a sense, Fastlane could be used to build major storylines for WrestleMania.

A huge Star like Reigns can catapult the storylines in which he works. Here are three viable superstars who can work with the Big Dog on Fastlane.


#1 Dean Ambrose

Reigns and Seth Rollins might have saved Dean Ambrose from Mcintyre and co's assault but still, that doesn't exclude the fact that the Lunatic Fringe attacked Rollins the night when Reigns announced his leukaemia news.

Ambrose didn't actually come out when Reigns announced his remission news this Monday. Thus it is quite evident that the lunatic one is not really having a sense of brotherhood from a storyline perspective.

Reigns saved Ambrose but one cannot expect Ambrose to be thankful. The ungrateful attitude of Ambrose can set the fire for this rivalry right from the word go. Dean as someone who regrets Reigns coming back to take the spotlight has a great storyline potential.

Reigns told the fans that he is going to stand up for those who battle cancer. A storyline in which he overcomes an indifferent Ambrose who has no apathy for his brother would be an encouragement for those who battle remorseless leukaemia.

#2 The Shield vs Mcintyre, Elias, Corbin, and Lashley

If WWE doesn't like to go that route then they can probably consider the match which they teased on WWE Raw. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins saved Dean Ambrose from the onslaught by Drew Mcintyre, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Elias.

If they want their fans to witness one last match from The Shield before the possible departure of Dean Ambrose then they can go this route. It would be a welcome tribute to one of the best trios in WWE history.

Who knows? If the storyline gets a good reception from the fans, then it might convince Ambrose to sign a new contract and stay with the company. The last thing WWE would want to do is to leave Ambrose when AEW is in its initial plannings.

The Shield had worked wonders for these three superstars and it can possibly reignite their careers, most importantly Ambrose who needs some momentum on the road to WrestleMania 2019.

#3 Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins (no.1 contender's match)

WWE fans would not want this match to happen but it has a strong possibility of happening. Reports surfaced online that Vince McMahon never had any ideas to do a match between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 2019.

It was, apparently, Triple H who made the call. Vince might have agreed to this just because of Roman's absence. Now that Roman is back Seth Rollins might turn on him. It might possibly lead to a match between them at Fastlane for the no.1 contender's spot at WM 2019.

Roman might go all the way to headline WrestleMania. It would not be a popular option but given WWE's nature of seizing the moment, it might happen. Roman is receiving huge pop from the crowd and it is a reason enough to get tempted to try this option.

Seth Rollins worked hard the whole year to get a WrestleMania main event. Thus, the decision cannot be expected to receive a positive reaction. It might get a huge fan backlash.
