I would love to see Cesaro turned into a genuine challenger to Lesnar.

There is already a story there they can work around with Cesaro and Heyman splitting up.

I loved the Lesnar/Cena match because it was something totally different. While it bore a strong resemblance to Lesnar's demolition of Undertaker, it stood out from the card that featured mostly brawling based matches.

In fact, immediately before the match started, I was thinking how every match in the WWE looks the same these days. Brawling is the order of the day - there's very few matches full of chain wrestling or high flying anymore.

After 6 losses in the last few weeks just to make talent look good on Summerslam (pre show included) I doubt that's the storyline they will take.

Sucks though because I really like him.

Yeah Mis, I loved the Cena/Lesnar match.

I wanted it to happen but was almost certain it would not. When it did it was unreal haha.

I cant believe they have basically left off on Bo!

Enjoyed the show and i thought Rollins/Ambrose and Paige/AJ were done well.

Seems like jericho has somehow managaed to suck all the aura and excitement surrounding Bray out of the wwe.

Fast forwarded through Orton/Reigns. Two of the most shallow and boring characters on tv. The way they are managing to destroy reigns is amazing. Such an easy formula to success. Keep him off the microphone and keep him somewhat connected to ambrose who can be his mouth piece while he silently destroys. Make a few saves for ambrose so he doesnt seem like a giant nong perhaps.

Feel sorry for the kids who love Cena.

Really enjoyed the show...Hogan opening was weird...but the 9.99 is over as hell haha

Main event wad great. Despite what the geeks are sayin it works and Brock is a fn beeeeast.

I hope its not Reigns who breaks it....

Id have Take.get revenge at the Survivor Series and have Brock lose the belt to Bryan after Taker inteferes in typical supernatural fashion.

Brock to face Undertaker at the Rumble and lose. Brock goes nuts backstage and forces Triple H to.include.him in the Rumble. He wins eliminating Reigns last.

At the chamber Lesnar wrestles Taker at the Chamber and Taker beats Brock after a bloody bout. Sting is shown in the shadows after. Bryan defends the belt.in the Chamber with Reigns being eliminated last.

Wrestlemania you have Brock vs Bryan for.the.belt but.before that Lesnar rums through eeeeveryone leading up.to.the match...Sting vs Taker with Taker.going ovet...the Shield.in a three way with Reigns going over.

Going forward you have Bryan goin up against.the.three Shield.guys plus a rematch with Brock who.turns on Heyman. Rollins finally breaks away from Triple H and they fued for.a hit with Triple Hs new guy...Cessaro.

What to.do.with Wyatt...welllll id have Kevin Steen debut as his foe around the Royal Rumble as the badass antiestablishment assssshole they so dearly need. He faces Wyatt in something crazy at Wrestlemania. Wyattshould.get the belt at MITB with Steen winning the case.in the ladder.match...

You then have so many options up and down the card moving towards next wrestlemania

Oh and.Cena...its now.the time to.turn him tweener and fight for.his redemption. He faces Reigns at Wrestlemania...kinda like the grizzled.former face of the.company vs the future face...it could.be a great WWE style match and Cena has no problem putting others over. After he loses to Reigns at Mania id have him take a worked injury leave of absence but keep him around for PR purpose and have the upstart Steen start calling him out leading to.their Wrestlemania showdown nect year

Sick storyline Marlins.

Sadly I don't know if Bryan will be back in time for Survivor Series. Has nerve damage to his neck which is affecting the strength in his right arm. The prognosis suggests he won't be back until the Royal Rumble.

Don't know about having Brock end the streak only to lose the series of matches against Taker. Don't think Taker has that many if any matches left in him, I wouldn't use those matches to restore the status quo.

However, I like the idea of turning John Cena into Bret Hart circa 1996. Wonder if they can get footage of John Sr stretching him out while Roman is off running up stadium steps in their big build up?

That Lesnar vs Cena match was brutal. 10 minutes of watching Cena get the absolute shit kicked / suplexed out of him. Those release Germans looked sick.

One of the strongest cards top to bottom I can remember in a long time.

It's the only way they will find out if it works... Rather than running down Superstars like CM Punk constantly being in the road, they can use the champ sparingly.

What sucks now is that we likely don't have a world champion on tv and possibly some ppvs.

I'm actually all for it. The incentive to watch the average PPV is basically gone in these days of rematches on free TV, weird tag matches the night before PPVs, and main eventers facing main eventers on Raw every week.

Knowing you need to watch PPV to:
a). See Lesnar wrestle
b). See the world title get defended

is a great incentive for people to either buy the network or get PPVs. It also makes the PPVs feel like more than just a bloated episode of Raw.

WWE will freak out and there will be a rematch at Night of champions between Lesnar and Cena.

It wouldn't be much or a Night of Champions without the top belt being defended.

They've already announced that the Night of Champions main event will be Cena v Lesnar. It was announced on Main Event today.

This was definitely the best show of the year so far IMO, better than mania.

Lesnar defending against Cena at NOC is fine and I have no problem with the belt being defended sporadically between now and wrestlemania.

Roman Reigns is probably the man to defeat him at mania, he is a believable opponent. I don’t know who Lesnar will face at survivor series and Royal Rumble. Maybe Jericho at one of them? Bray Wyatt would make an interesting opponent, the man who enjoys pain..
