WWE WrestleMania 40 is in the rearview mirror, leaving many to wonder what is next.

In the wake of the biggest event of the year, and with the events that unfolded on the grand stage fresh, there are several directions for top Superstars to take.

These are the best available, including the continuation of The Bloodline story.

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre was an inevitability long before WrestleMania in Philadelphia.

The Chicago native suffered a torn triceps at the hands of McIntyre in the Royal Rumble match and since then, has been the butt of The Scottish Warrior's social media trolling. Sunday, on wrestling's grandest stage, Punk had enough and lashed out, physically assaulting the heel moments after he defeated Seth "Freakin" Rollins to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Judgment Day's Damian Priest hit the ring, cashed in Money in the Bank, and became the new champion.

The image of Punk gleefully clapping atop the announce table while a seething McIntyre recovered in the ring was production gold and the type of thing that will be present in every video package and promotional material for the match.

Punk's inability to compete due to his torn triceps makes booking the match a bit difficult, but not impossible.

McIntyre beating the hell out of Punk in retaliation for WrestleMania, putting him off of television until he is ready to return to in-ring action, would be a way to bide time until the Chicago native can come back to combat The Scottish Warrior in what will, by then, be a hugely anticipated showdown.

A match sometime this Fall, maybe at Survivor Series, would be appropriate and elevate that particular show in importance, something the annual November extravaganza has not had in awhile outside of the War Games gimmick.

Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes

Seth "Freakin" Rollins sacrificed his body to join Cody Rhodes in battling The Rock and Roman Reigns in the main event of Saturday's show because he recognized the importance of stopping their oppressive rule.

He lost there and damaged his knee.

The following night, he lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Drew McIntyre, at least partly because that knee slowed him down.

Later, he interfered in the main event and took another beating, courtesy of a Superman Punch from Roman Reigns and a steel chair shot to the back from a man utterly obsessed with The Visionary's demise.

Rollins was a three-time loser and, despite what appeared to be a respectful handshake between two men who made a concentrated effort to stop The Bloodline, frustration will set in and The Visionary will seek revenge for his downfall.

Despite all of it being his choice to participate in or take the lead on.

Rhodes vs. Rollins has many layers dating back to the earliest chapters of their feud in 2002. Exploring them, including Rollins' bitterness over being shoved aside in favor of Rhodes, is the right call.

The blowoff, perhaps as soon as SummerSlam or as late as Survivor Series, would be appropriate. There is, arguably, enough storyline potential to extend to WrestleMania 41, too.

It would require a heel turn from Rollins, obviously, but with no clear direction for him as a babyface at this point, it is hardly a bad option.

Roman Reigns vs. The Rock

Roman Reigns lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Sunday at WrestleMania and, despite a historically great championship run, The Tribal Chief could find himself the subject of The Rock's disdain and frustration.

There was destined to be a power struggle between The Head of the Table and The Final Boss for control of The Bloodline and what better way to keep both men around in high-profile situations, than by pitting them against each other.

WWE has reportedly signed Jacob Fatu, according to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, and introducing him to the fray by having him beat down Reigns and essentially excommunicate him from the faction would be a perfect way to introduce him and set the tone for the new Bloodline.

Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa could be faced with choosing, culminating with Paul Heyman being put in a position to pledge his allegiance.

Reigns made it clear in his speech supporting Heyman's induction into the Hall of Fame that he has a relationship with The Wise Man that is strong enough that the minute there is no Heyman, there is no Tribal Chief.

Having The Rock exploit that relationship, only for Reigns to come to the rescue and unleash hell, setting up the inevitable showdown is the right call.
