Triple H And Seth Rollins To Feud?

[The GOAT]

Sorry, it's 3, thought I read "5."

Well, Brock has a track record at summerslam and we all know he's coming back for that ppv. As far as I know, Brock is 4-1 at summerslam. It seems to be his ppv. Much like hell in a cell is said to be triple h's match.

I just don't see Brock coming back a this ppv to lose. Even if he's cheated, still eating a loss doesn't make sense for him. I do feel that roman will have the belt again... And he will still be the one to beat Brock one on one at mania 32. But, I still see Brock having to defend it against roman again. It would make roman look bigger, too. He has to try and overcome what he couldn't do last year.

This would mean that roman would have to win the rumble again, which may be the case. I do like your idea of Brock winning the rumble and that might happen, but I guess this all depends on where WWE wants to go.

All of that is exactly what has me convinced that Lesnar isn't walking out with the championship. Seth's odds of going up against Brock and surviving with the title still intact look astronomically slim on paper (I'm speaking from a kayfabe perspective here), but whenever the odds are stacked against a heel this high, they usually tend to find a way to slip away victorious at the end regardless.

Examine JBL's WWE Championship reign from 2004-05 as a good reference point. Even though their personalities are different, JBL's character was the same type of conniving, cowardly heel that Rollins is now, and anytime the odds seemed too great against JBL, he always managed to pull out a victory at the end regardless. He's in a Last Ride match against Undertaker where he can't just get himself disqualified like he did at Summerslam, Heidenreich interferes and saves him. He's in a non-elimination fatal-four way match against three guys who hate him, he manages to slip away with the victory anyway. He's trapped inside a Barbed Wire Steel Cage with the Big Show, he manages to just barely sneak by victorious again. The formula of Seth's title reign is pretty similar - he's trapped in a steel cage with Orton, but he retains. He's in a fatal-four way match with three men who despise him (where, like JBL, he doesn't have to take the pinfall to lose the title), he manages to win again. He's up against the likes of Brock Lesnar at the same event where Brock both decimated John Cena last year and made Seth's mentor HHH tap out a couple of years before that, and... well, you know the rest.

I honestly agree with a lot of what you say; however, when it comes to Brock, you can't really compare him to anyone else. It's hard to do so. No matter what story he's in. Because he's truly unpredictable.

Every since he snapped the streak and beat cena in the fashion he did...well, it was truly unexpected and everyone, hardcore fans and not, were thrown for a loop.

This is not to say that we can't reflect on what history has taught us and apply it to Rollins reign... Sure, we can do that. But, now we have Brock... And as history has shown with him... As of late, he's just that damn good and may just dominate not only Seth... But all of the authority as well. I can foresee a triple threat rematch at summerslam... But I also see Brock winning.

- WWE officials are still planning on doing Triple H vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view, according to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio. The idea appears to be to have Rollins turn babyface for the feud.

I have a feeling Rollins will win and sheamus will cash in as triple h helps him. But what about Brock?

That'd be shades of SummerSlam 2013.

For all we know, Bork could end up facing Kevin Owens.

Yes and we also know WWE repeats processes. Not saying I really want this to happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing sheamus step up in a fashion like this.

I read yesterday that the rumored idea is to have Brock defend the championship (after winning it from Seth at Battleground) against Roman Reigns if HHH and Seth Rollins are to wrestle in a match of their own.

I like to keep an open mind, but I'm very skeptical about them seemingly rushing the feud (and Rollins' babyface turn) like this instead of taking the time to build up to everything more organically and having them go at it later down the road instead. I guess the seeds for it have already been planted as of last night - Rollins got the job done on his own and so he tells The Authority tonight on Raw that he wants to get everything done alone from now on, and that means taking on Brock Lesnar by himself without any assistance at Battleground. From there, he loses the title to Brock, HHH and The Authority turn on him afterwards, Brock calls out Roman and wants to give him a title shot since they have unfinished business stemming from Wrestlemania (let's say they ignore Seth's contractual rematch for the belt) and so that's the set-up for both of those matches should they end up going that route.

It's not really a terrible idea or anything, but I'd still rather see something like Rollins vs Brock (or Rollins vs Brock vs Reigns in a triple-threat) and Triple H vs Ambrose at Summerslam instead. Save HHH vs Seth for later.

I'm cool with Bork vs Roman at SS, as well as the rumored Bork vs Seth vs Reigns.

I also want Rollins' face turn to be as organic as possible.
But it wouldn't surprise me if they rushed it, I mean just look at Kidd/Cesaro and The Bella Twins, their face turns were abrupt as hell.

As far as the bolded part goes, can't argue with it. It's a very plausible scenario.
