Once Ambrose is cast aside, can Nikki vs. Bliss be the next SD world title feud?

Also, why in the hell is Orton-Lesnar going on last? Unless there's some massive storyline coming, that's a bad message to send to both the fans and locker room.

 

You can argue a lot of things about Brock and how he is handled in the WWE as "sending a bad message to the fans and locker room"

 

He is the biggest star in the company right now (or #2 behind Cena) and is costing the company millions. So they are definitely going to treat him like a main eventer

Well yes, that’s my point, I suppose. Dude screws up colossally on a very public level, company divorces itself of any responsibility via nonsense technicality of their own invention, then keeps him as the main event.

 

What do they gain from it? The cache he had after his UFC win is now less than zero. They’re paying him the money either way: putting him in the main event doesn’t improve their investment. Let’s even say that most fans watching think Orton-Lesnar is a bigger match than either of the title matches: that’s a bad precedent, and one they should actively book against. They did the same thing last year with Brock-Taker, and it was a mess from which they achieved nothing. In part it's because Vince doesn't have faith in any of the four title match guys, but that too speaks volumes.

I have this fun theory no one wants to listen to that Finn is the sacrificial lamb to explain the ratings due to the brand split, new TV coming back, and football starting, thus protecting Rollins.

So in other words, a political hit?

 

It's more of a ratings famine.
