Try as WWE might, it’s hard to keep the road to WrestleMania a straight one. Will Ambrose’s WrestleMania match with Brock Lesnar become a title bout if “The Lunatic Fringe” is victorious? Or will Ambrose have to defend against his friend Roman Reigns, who already earned the right to challenge for the title at WrestleMania? Where would that leave Triple H and Lesnar? Yes, it is unlikely that Dean Ambrose will upset “The Game,” but similar things have happened in the past. WWE.com This Saturday, WWE Roadblock airs live on the WWE Network, and the name is certainly appropriate – Triple H may be scheduled to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 32, but if he loses the belt to Dean Ambrose on the Network specials, the entire complexion of the show of shows will change. Bray Wyatt, Nxt Tag Team Championships on the line and more If you like a nice wrestling show, then Roadblock is worth checking out for the Divas Championship, Nxt Tag Team Championship and WWE World Heavyweight Championship matches. All that being said, Roadblock was an enjoyable event that produced multiple good matches that focused more on the in-ring product than backstage vignettes, slick video packages and other distractions. WWE.com In the preview column posted earlier Saturday, the overarching theme of the questions was clear: Would WWE Roadblock be a speedbump, or a dramatic left turn on the Road to WrestleMania? We got our answer Saturday night, as WWE put out a Network special event that saw four title matches with no new champions, a special attraction match that was changed on the fly moments before it began, and two other unannounced bouts that will likely have no impact on existing storylines going forward. Those courting controversy by claiming it would top ‘Mania were proven wrong – even before the supershow in Texas, Thankfully for what it was, Roadblock was enjoyable. The latter had once been tentatively scheduled for WrestleMania, so it was likely a bit of a comedown for Wyatt to learn that his marquee scrap would instead take place on a glorified house show. Before the event had even started, the company promised a WWE World Heavyweight Title bout between Triple H and Dean Ambrose, as well as a one-on-one encounter pitting Bray Wyatt against the menacing Brock Lesnar. Held at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Canada, WWE Roadblock was yet another diversionary stop on the way to the At&T Stadium on April 3. WWE.com For a company that seemingly can’t wait to get to WrestleMania, it was perhaps confusing to literally put up their own ‘Roadblock’ on the road to that particular show. This left 7 matches to entertain the Canadian crowd, but what did wrestling fans learn from the Roadblock experience? This list aims to bring together 10 different points related to the show, The first 2 of these were dark matches, as Mark Henry defeated a fellow called Randy Sharp and Goldust overcame Viktor. Before the show, WWE had only announced a handful of bouts, but there were 9 overall. As it turned out, a relatively short-looking card was padded out come crunch time. The main reasoning behind this was to provide another excuse for a WWE Network special broadcast, but also to pit Triple H against Dean Ambrose for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. In one of the most literal event titles ever, the company elected to present WWE Roadblock on Saturday, March 12. WWE.com Hundreds of shows per year and literally thousands of matches, but there’s something to learn from each one. Here are the biggest incidents to keep an eye out for… 8. It must surely be considered required viewing. With so many storylines unfolding (and criss-crossing) before us, tonight’s show has the potential to be spectacular, or an utter disaster (or perhaps even a spectacular disaster). As well as the confirmed appearances of Triple H, Shane McMahon, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar, we could also have a few surprises in store – with one WWE legend reportedly confirmed, and another beloved superstar potentially tagging along for the ride. Fortunately, as if making up for their booking last week, WWE have set out a stacked Raw tonight.

As good as the in-ring action largely was, the show seemed nothing more than filler before the WrestleMania build kicks off in earnest. WWE.com If one word can be used to sum up Saturday night’s Roadblock, inconsequential could well be it.
