So I'm guessing Roman Reigns is the overwhelming favourite to win this year's briefcase, but am I crazy for thinking it's going to be anyone other than him? The briefcase has always been a heelish prop, except for the time Cena won it - and they had him announce in advance where and when the match was going to take place, so they worked around that problem. If they were planning on turning Roman heel then sure, winning the case makes sense, but I can't believe they will yet - and this is a guy who is presented as more than capable of winning the Title by honourable methods, so winning his first one via the prop as a Face seems counter-productive.
No, I've got a sneaking suspicion that - and this is the point where you're all going to laugh at me - Kofi Kingston is going to win the case. At first glance he seems like the LAST person who would, but I'm wondering if they see the potential in a New Day vs Reformed Shield match later in the year. There's lots of ways they could get there, but perhaps Roman & Dean tag with Dan Bryan (or any of the headline faces) to face New Day at Summerslam and don't get the job done. So they reluctantly have to recruit Seth (who will have lost the title by this point) to recreate the old chemistry for Survivor Series. Then beat him up after they win.

Just to follow up - and to put (a cowardly amount of) my money where my Internet mouth is - I put £5 on Kofi yesterday morning, at 8-1 (+800). Now he is only 9/2 (+450). So while Reigns is the overwhelming favourite in a 7-way match, the bookmakers seem to thing Kofi is best alternative. So maybe it is not such a crazy idea after all.
Also you can get a price on Brock Lesnar in that match, despite the fact he isn't in it. lol.

I was thinking if not Reigns, Sheamus was the only one that made sense. But he already seems useless with the briefcase. I'm hoping maybe Rollins gets dq'd at battleground, lesnar kicks the shit out of him and maybe the authority has Sheamus cash in on Rollins. I just can't get into "authority Rollins"
