I'm disappointed that it doesn't look like they are doing anything with Cesaro, other than possibly jobbing him out to Reigns in the quarterfinals. The fans are so ready to cheer him and I think having Cesaro against a heel Reigns could be big.
As it is, I still like the idea of turning Reigns heel. Run it similar to The Deadly Game tournament with Reigns in the role of The Rock, Ambrose as Stone Cold and Kevin Owens as Mankind.
Have The Authority show some sort of disdain for the two ex-Shield members and stack the deck against them. They will have to unite together to get through things. Meanwhile, HHH informs Owens that he is their chosen one. He says that NXT business boomed when Owens became NXT Champion. NXT is Triple H's baby and as a way to thank Owens, he wants to give Owens The Authority's full support and also believes Owens can boost WWE business the way he did NXT business. Owens is indifferent but as a prize fighter he wants what's best for his family and if it takes The Authority's support to get him there, so be it.
In the semi-finals, Ambrose aids Reigns in reaching the finals. In the other semi final, Reigns "inadvertently" costs Ambrose the match against Owens. Something not obvious at the time but that we can look back at and see that Roman did it intentionally. In the finals, The Authority aids Roman as he turns heel in capturing the title.
They reveal that Roman is their new chosen one, he has the look, charisma, pedigree, etc. At that point, you've got fresh potential matches with Roman vs. a disgruntled tweener Owens (run this in December and January), versus a pissed off Ambrose (potentially the Royal Rumble winner for a Wrestlemania matchup), vs. a returning Cena at some point in the new year, a rematch vs. Brock down the line, vs. a returning Rollins in the summer and maybe even Orton at some point.
