They need to get the title off the part timer. Even the Rock showed up to the show more often during his last title reign than Lesnar does.

Of course, that means giving it to Cena again....unless Rollins cashes in right after?

Yes, because God forbid they do Lesnar vs. Rollins directly and that we have a heel vs. heel match for once in our lives.

[Slyder]

yes, if for no other reason than we're not even near wm yet, and im already certain its ending with reigns beating lesnar for the strap. id book it with ambrose vs rollins in the opener, ambrose goes over clean in about 20. main event time, lesnars grinning and dancing around. first move of the match is a superman punch, lesnar stumbles up into a spear, reigns wins in a minute because fuck lesnar. rollins comes out, cashes in on a fresh reigns, rollins wins clean in about 15, all 3 look good at the end of the night and brock goes back to ufc.

Not worried about making Reigns immediately into a new Cena with a slightly darker skin tone?

[Hammer]

not if rollins is beating him clean at the end of the night.

[Slyder]

I must come from a different school of thought. I like the idea of maybe having Lesnar come in over confident and do the Superman punch to rock him and get down to business. About 20-30 minutes in time and Lesnar wins with some sick hellacious multiple F5s/high power combos with some distraction involved. He returns to his arrogant cocky ass self starts to mock Reigns (another Superman punch and spear). Out of the crowd Rollins (maybe others?) beat the hell out of Reigns with the briefcase, curb stomp to a stunned Lesnar, cash in, another curb stomp for good measure new champ.

Here's why I think it mean more going forward for Rollins to cash in on Lesnar rather than ending Reigns 1st title reign that quickly. Daniel Bryan was the right guy for that story with the Cash In at Summer Slam, I don't think it works as well with Reigns. It leaves Reigns in a position to say I should still be in the main event and buys him more time to hone his craft and knock any rust off. It's clear that the WWE wants Reigns to be the next big thing but his live promo skills are still below average and he's JUST come back from that Hernia surgery. Rollins may not be that big guy that gets Vince's rocks off but he's got enough of the tools (and gotten enough tv time) to be a guy in the picture and IMO more ready than Reigns right now. Plus you can go forward with Reigns/Rollins without making either of them eat a pinfall against the other. You also allow Rollins to say he beat the 1 in 21 and 1 which SHOULD be something that a guy can use for a DECADE (like Y2J as the first unified champion), meanwhile that would be 1 of many accomplishments of Reigns. Also if Lesnar comes back you leave that as a possible feud down the road with story behind it (and you need that because Lesnar is running out of guys to fight if he comes back).

Well, the Authority hiatus didn't last long.

I was really hoping for the Cena heel turn catalyst angle.

[Foster]

How else are we gonna get Sting, if "H" aint around.

[Providence A's]

He'll dig up the Undertaker's corpse instead?

[HollywoodLeo]

Yes, because God forbid they do Lesnar vs. Rollins directly and that we have a heel vs. heel match for once in our lives.

I remember HBK vs Rick Martel as a kid. I think they were both heels at the time.

Wasn't that the don't hit me in the face match?

[HollywoodLeo]

Yeah. It was awesome.

Me too, but that would actually take writers who know what they are doing. I've about given up on the writing team as long as Steph is in charge.

I also really hoped they'd use that Cena clause for something bigger. Now we're right back to where we were. Team Cena gets screwed, HHH taking up way too much time and heat, no one really getting anywhere. I think its time for another sabbatical until the Rumble.

Positives:
If you want to get someone started as a face just stick him with Miz. Miz vs Sandow at Mania?
Naomi really looked good in the ring, I hope they give her a chance to beat the Bellas.

Negatives:
There is one match I want to see Sting in at Mania and it sure as hell isn't Terra Rising vs Sting.
Most of the rest of the show was slow, plodding, and bad.

[HollywoodLeo]

Do you really think the "fired" wrestlers aren't going to be getting heat?

[Slyder]

Do you really think the "fired" wrestlers aren't going to be getting heat?

Look at how far cashing in on DB got Randy Orton... why? HHH and Steph took up the entire energy from it. By heat I mean heels aren't going to be able to get anything because it all circulates around HHH.

[HollywoodLeo]

Does Randy Orton really need to be pushed? And if he were you'd just say he's stealing the heat anyway. You're not exactly his favorite fan, lol

There really aren't any big time heels right now, which is basically the problem. Rollins I guess, but he needs time before he's the guy.

[Witlon]

Ehh...he has about 3 weeks before he's likely the guy whether he's ready or not.
