April 3, 20178 yr comment_5795457 I'm more than happy to see Brock & Roman do it again. Very curious to see how its framed and put together differently from 31 if we do indeed get there. The original was a classic so why not?
April 3, 20178 yr Author comment_5795467 If indeed Taker doesn't come back for a beforehand-advertised retirement, I wonder what to do with Cena. Here's a proposal: The Authority vs. Cena & Nikki.
April 3, 20178 yr comment_5795489 Bizarre that people are shitting on the idea of Lesnar vs Reigns when they had the last great Wrestlemania match to date, one of the best the company has ever done AND didn't have a proper finish so there's clearly storyline reasons to renew the rivalry.

Could Brock have had the same level of match with anyone else? I think so.

Could Brock have had the same level of match with anyone else? I think so. He hasn't though. Except for the Cena Extreme Rules match, that was his best WWE match imo. Maybe just maybe Reigns and Cena are actually good.
April 3, 20178 yr comment_5795532 I am all for the idea of Reigns vs Brock next year. Keeping Brock busy for his limited engagements wont be a problem. He can defend against Rollins, Owens, Balor, Joe, and even Cesaro or Zayn if they really wanted to push it and have fun matches really highlight him and build him (back) up a bit over the course of the year. I'd honestly have him go over Reigns once this year too (either at the rumble or Survivor Series) to build the bad blood and remind everyone what kind of beating these two can put on each other. The trick is keeping Reigns busy for that amount of time. I'd like him to full embrace his grey area position and feud with many of those guys listed before. Other than that it is impossible to tell what we get next year. If they do Goldberg again i am not even sure who he faces other than Cena or HHH. Neither is that compelling to me, though I would assume Cena could make it good. I really hope Styles is in a big title match next year. I don't think it will happen, but I'd love to see Dragon back in the ring for a proper send off.

Could Brock have had the same level of match with anyone else? I think so. He hasn't though. Except for the Cena Extreme Rules match, that was his best WWE match imo. Maybe just maybe Reigns and Cena are actually good. His 3 way with Rollins and Punk was really good as was his Punk match. The Taker stuff was good. He hasn't had many other guys as opponents. No one's getting a great one out of HHH, the Goldberg series was very short though they did the best they could with it and Orton's Orton.
April 5, 20178 yr comment_5795935 Still pumped from this last week, so booked up a hotel for next year, there from the 4th to the 10th so miss Smackdown but hopefully catch loads from Wednesday to Monday....
April 6, 20178 yr comment_5795955 I am thinking about booking up my hotel next month. I definitely plan on going next year. I was at 30 and the whole weekend was an absolute blast.
April 14, 20178 yr Author comment_5797051 Observer: It was noted to us that moving Reigns, which was evidently still under discussion of late, would have also required moving both Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar, since the companys key summer storylines revolved around Strowman working on top against Reigns, leading to Lesnar, and keeping alive Reigns vs. Lesnar as the top program with the idea of keeping them apart as long as possible, with the idea being WrestleMania.
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805101 So the scuttlebutt is that Reigns vs Lesnar is being moved up to SummerSlam and Reigns vs Cena may take its place at Mania. To a lesser extent I have also seen rumors that they were going to hold off Styles vs Nak for mania and now may move that up. None of that is particularly surprising, but if we get Reigns vs Cena at SS, what do we get from Brock at mania....? vs Joe (blowoff to a long term feud)? vs AJ? vs Nak? vs Balor? vs Braun ? vs Rollins? vs Cass? vs Bray?
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805102 Brock has to face Braun at WM. I just don't see the appeal in anyone else except maybe Joe if their match goes well. I would do Lesnar/Reigns at SS and have Braun win the rumble and beat Brock at mania.
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805122 Reigns vs Cena at Mania feels like a true epic main event. I totally want to see Reigns vs Lesnar again, but they should probably get that done before Mania. They could also bill Reigns vs Cena as Cena going for #17 and the record
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805125 Reigns vs Cena for the title (esp for #17) sounds awesome. As much as Brock/Reigns II will be great, I am no sure there is a bigger main event they could do. If they do it right they will get the crowd face-melting hot for this. Brock vs Braun sounds good, but Brock vs AJ or Joe (again, if the first one goes well and they slow build it) would be preferable to me. I am imagining they are thinking more about Braun though.... maybe even Cass if they really do love him as much as the rumors indicate, but I really hope that isn't in the cards for 'mania.
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805130 Yeah I would prefer Cena/Reigns at mania next year (nothing against Lesnar/Reigns). At this point unless they build up Nak or Braun, etc more it's the last big fresh money match WWE has left
June 26, 20178 yr comment_5805133 Still think Joe wins the title at great balls, with interference from Braun. Setting up Brock vs Braun for Summerslam. Brock wins it back or wins the rumble, to set up wrestlemaina's Brock vs Reigns.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_5805207 Reigns vs. Cena would also be the first time in years that Cena would receive a full blown face reaction.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_5805216 I loved reigns Lesnar 1 it was a perfect storm of a buildup both on screen and behind the scenes with Brock resigning a few days before mania and the whole royal rumble reaction and bryan match at fastlane comming after the punk "make roman look strong" comments. The sense of a huge match was all over that match and i do not think it will be possible to create that again for reigns lesnar 2. That is not to say that i am not looking forwards to it, it should be great but i am not sure if it could be as great as the first time due to the surrounding curcumstances. As for Cena reigns have they wrestled each other in singles yet and if so was it pre sheild break up as i am not sure if they have. I can just imagine cena cutting promos around the idea of reigns being his replacement and Cena just saying that reigns aint replacing shit, stuff like that. I am getting goosebumps thinking about it. if they move reigns lesnar 2 forwards to summerslam then when does lesnar strowman happen? they love the idea of that match and so do i, rumble maybe? Cena reigns has to happen at a maina there is no other stage for that matchup but if it is 34 or 35 is the intersting one depending on cenas commitments in other places.
June 27, 20178 yr comment_5805233 also Reigns going in as champion and facing Cena enables them to avoid Roman having to win the Rumble or another # 1 contender match at the Feb PPV. It would make things a lot easier on them creatively
June 28, 20178 yr comment_5805276 Reigns vs. Cena would also be the first time in years that Cena would receive a full blown face reaction. Would going up against Cena and Cena going for the record BREAKING title reign push some fans to Roman though? I am not really sure. I think they could wind up with a split and very passionate crowd.
June 29, 20178 yr comment_5805451 Meltz says that Roman v Brock has been moved up to Summerslam. Thinks they may do Cena v Reigns at mania
June 29, 20178 yr comment_5805453 Hopefully that means Stroman/Brock at Mania because that match better damn well happen at some point.
