Probably means Brock is showing up after the fatal four way to beat him down.

Cena's off 2 Raws in the build towards Summerslam, tomorrow and 2 weeks from tomorrow. Tomorrow's reasoning will likely be because he had the poo poo kicked out of him in a Fatal Fourway, only to get by a Brock beatdown the week after, leading up to the ME at Summerslam.

I think my favorite part of that was afterwards Brock was limping, and then when the pain went away he basically laughed at everyone, as though he knew we all thought he injured himself in his first match back and was just mocking the entire industry.

Just noticed that almost all my WWE MOTYCs at this point are gimmick matches and decided to look this up: assuming they don't go with a gimmick for Cena vs. Brock it will be WWE's first non-gimmicked PPV main event singles match in 9 freakin' months.

I'm willing to bet that that non-gimmicked main event had to have been a barnburner, removing all the bells and whistles. Just getting down to brass tacks of two people fighting. One for the ages. Ah, for fun, let's just see what it was...

Survivor Series 2013 - Randy Orton vs. Big Show

Oh. Oh dear.

EDIT: This also forced me to look at last year's Battleground card. What a mess. ADR vs. RVD for the WHC. I'm struggling to even remember ANYTHING about that feud. The awful no contest in the main event. The only bright spot was the Rhodes Brothers versus the Shield.

Why is Sting v Undertaker such a dream match for a lot of people? Is it because sting was a bit gothy once?

We already had Flair v. 'Taker. At this point, Sting is the biggest name from WCW who could do a 'Taker fight. Then we just have to convince Vince to consume TNA and book Samoa Joe v. 'Taker for WM32.

AUGH MY STOMACH

Seeing Sting face Undertaker at WM doesn't really appeal to me because I've had no exposure to Sting other than in TNA. I totally understand why other people might wanna see it, but I'd much rather see a different match if it's gonna be Undertaker's last one.

Hopefully Battleground is surprisingly good, or at least bad enough that the GDT is funny.

It's two major superstars that have never faced off even though both have been around for decades. It would be a pretty big deal.

MassRafTer posted:

This would be me, but serious. I think putting the title on Brock and then having him disappear for another four to seven months is a really dumb idea. As much as I can't stand Cena, giving the belt to a guy who doesn't even show up on TV for months at time seems really loving stupid.

Plus, Brock bores the poo poo out of me.

In all seriousness I'd be a lot more likely to drop the WWE Network in favor of FightPass if that happens (which it won't). Haven't really been enjoying WWE programming lately and Brock as champ is the one thing I'm looking forward to. Would not pay :10bux: to watch Battleground if they did PPVs separately.

I'm a bit late to this party, but yeah, this is my expectation. Ambrose beats Rollins earlier in the night, preventing him from coming out to cash on a weakened Cena, so the Authority pulls the trigger on their nuclear option and out comes Plan C(lient Brock Lesnar, who defeated the Undertaker's streak at Wrestlemania XXX.)

I'm actually liking a lot of the interlocking storylines like Dean Ambrose feuding with Seth so he's also against Hunter and is aligned with old enemy John Cena despite them all being in separate feuds. Reminds me of the best period of Wrestling, that period between Vince Russo leaving and Stephanie McMahon taking over. Hope it leaks down to the midcard.

Yeah, I also prefer when the storylines interact with each other rather than living in a vacuum. It's weird when no one is at all interested in anything else happening in the fed.
