The title is not mentioned......

Kinda odd how "Conqueror Of The Streak" or something along those lines isn't mentioned with the rest of Brock's accolades either. I know they showed clips of him F-5ing the Undertaker while calling him "The Most Dominant Athlete Ever", but still, you'd think they throw a heading of it up on the screen anyway.

I'd prefer if this match wasn't for the championship personally, but it almost certainly will be.

I actually think Lesnar should win every match he has from now on cleanly until it comes time for him to job again. I feel that's the way it should have been since he returned to WWE two years ago (and for the most part, that's the way it has been.) The way I see it, Heyman shenanigans should only come into play if it's just him taking a quick cheap shot whenever the opportunity presents itself, not because he's interfering at a crucial moment when it looks like Lesnar might be on the verge of defeat. His interference against The Rock at Summerslam 2002 is a fine example of this. He did get one or two cheap shots in on The Rock, but neither happened right when Rock was about to taste victory. To that end, it still felt like Brock picked up a clean win that night.
Lesnar is a juggernaut. WWE has a golden opportunity to create an unbeatable monster. Lesnar will not fail. He's sound in the ring and he's got the ideal manager for him. Lesnar and Heyman may be the most appropriate manager/client duo I've ever seen. Lesnar needs what Heyman has and Heyman needs what Heyman has. Without the other, each will be underutilized.

The best way to put over Reigns is through Lesnar. If Brock agrees to work more dates, this would create an ideal scenario and an opportunity to present Brock as the greatest big man in the sport's history.

This is brilliant. Cena looks epic there as the 15-time world champ while Lesnar looks like an absolute beast, with the MMA stuff backing up his claims. Too bad there is no Streak mention though. ME for SS is pretty much confirmed now, but how do WWE let that get out?

Hope there is no stipulation. They already had an extreme rules match a couple of years ago. Maybe have a gimmick match in the rematch at NoC, the next month.

A stip would be over doing it. Lesnar isn't so limited he can't work without a stip.
Ultimately, the match should be great with Lesnar coming out on top.
Though the Authority will come out, in the end, to see Lesnar defeat Cena, they won't get involved.
Being that Lesnar is 'Plan C', they'll do what it takes to keep the title on him for as long as possible.

I'm down on this for sure. Should be decent, and will be overshadowed by at least 1-2 matches before it. Decent main event, no complaints, but it's just a solid match considering Reigns and Wyatt should both be in pretty high profile matches not long before it.

Interesting take. I'm assuming Jericho and Wyatt will be facing off.
Reigns and HHH should be facing off but they may hold that baby off. That leaves Reigns v Orton.

I can't see either of those two matches overshadowing Cena/Lesnar, but I can't dawg you out for having an opinion.

This is gonna be awesome!

I can read the excitement in your voice, and that's awesome. It's SO great to see people excited again! :yay:

I'm more unsure about this than I was before MITB (partially because I feel like the biggest hypocrite on earth for wanting to see Lesnar) and with the youth movement one of those guys should be spotlighted here (They'll get their big matches, too) and there could be better matches for the long-term... but dammit am I intrigued by this. With it mainly being the IWC subscribed to the Network, Cena beating Brock again will be a Network disaster, Brock winning the belt seems unlikely, so... how is this match going to finish?

Also it's amazing that the guy who broke the fucking Streak feels like the underdog in this match. LOL

If I'm fantasy booking this, Reigns would be winning the belt at Battleground. because Reigns vs Triple H can use the title a hell of a lot more than this does. Brock can just beat Cena's ass and ride off into the sunset before a shocking Rumble appearance or something.

I wouldn't crown Reigns champion until Wrestlemania, but if I were to take a chance and put the strap on him now, I'd save it for Summerslam. We're probably getting Reigns vs Orton at Summerslam anyway as a way to build to Reigns vs Triple H (which they're considering saving till NOC as a way of enticing people to renew their subscriptions to the Network), so as boring as another Orton title reign would be (even a short one), I'd have Orton become champion again tonight only to drop it to Reigns next month. I'd want as many eyes as possible to see Reign's first championship win, and Summerslam is the biggest event for it to happen other than WM (especially with the massive hype that Brock/Cena will receive, which should draw more people to subscribe to the Network just to witness it.)

Of course there's a good argument about giving it to him at Battleground instead. It would come as more of a shock because no one really expects a title change to happen tonight unless it involves Rollins cashing in, and no one really expects that either. The other argument being that tonight's show would actually go off the air with Reigns standing tall as champion as the final image, whereas Summerslam will end with Brock vs Cena, title or no title.

This never said it was for the WWE Title, and with Cena missing the RAWs after Battleground, I can see a new champ.

Explain your logic behind thinking that? More likely that Cena will just get F5'd after he wins tonight imo.

Who says he'll be missing Raws after Battleground? As of now, he's only scheduled to miss tomorrow night.

As much as I would prefer for Cena vs Lesnar to be non-title, this whole talk about "Plan A, Plan B, Plan C" is in reference to The Authority trying to get the title off of Cena and onto one of their appointed superstars (Orton or Rollins), so if Plan C is their way of bringing Lesnar back, it will almost certainly be for the championship.
