Just won 1 thousand dollars thanks to him. I had a bet with my coworker with Brock holding a belt during another WM season and I got my result. <3

Very predictable pay-per-view but the matches were mostly good, I'm surprised that they gave so much time to Becky and Liv while the latter is still very green and had to be carried through the whole thing.
Very happy Lesnar got the belt.

The ref in the Becky/Liv match needs to be removed from main roster matches for a good length of time. Those counts were horrendous and confused everyone in the arena. The rest of the nights officiating was so smooth. She's just so...awkward and out of position.

Fun PPV given the change they had to make. Genuinely curious as to how they navigate the road to Mania now with Brock as champion - maybe he vacates it to go for Roman, maybe he gets stripped by Pearce, or maybe they go title for title at Mania :shrug:

My first impressions from that was they switched the Mania plans and we're getting Bobby / Brock instead. Had Bobby putting Brock through the barricade, spearing him in the ring and then putting him in the hurt lock but I don't remember any offense Brock had in on Bobby. After the match there was a lot of camera shots going between Bobby and Brock too indicating something.

Maybe i'm looking too much into it but that shit stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

Not too much looking into it, Dale. I'm thinking the same.
WWE is sometimes very obvious and maybe they thought "We don't know how hard this will hit Roman, so let's pull this one forward". Could also be just a bridging one for a Lashley vs. Lesnar Rumble main event.

I'm all of Lashley vs Brock if that is what they are building towards, was so good to get a small taste of it last night. It's definitely Mania worthy. It makes sense as well because Bob has been trying to fight his way back towards the WWE Title. Only difference is he's going to have to try go through Brock and not Big E now.
