I know the answer to this, but what's the point of doing the "this guy sucks and he has no chance against Brock" narrative if the match is going to be him sucking and having no chance against Brock?

I think the idea is to make it sort of a double bluff, make the outcome so obvious that you start to think "okay, there has to be a surprise coming".

That might be part of it but i think part of it is also brock decided today that he didnt want to take a move from a little guy and told vince that its gonna be a squash

I think the point is to get people to dislike Lesnar so that when someone does beat him they get cheered for finally beating him and ending his lovely championship reign.

Hence why i said "decided today" i mean it may have been booked like that, its just as possible that brock said "im jetlagged gently caress you"

Why cant the rules of a cage match be that you pin the other guy? I know it'd make it more similar to hell in a cell but meh.

Nah. They always knew this was gonna be a squash. Just wanted to get Brock on the card and make him look good without working.

Not everyone can be The Undertaker and just show up out of nowhere to do a choke slam and win the Afro Crag.

Yes and yes, when she won the Smackdown women's title they put out shirts commemorating her as the first women's grand slam champ. She's literally won everything there is for a woman to win in WWE/NXT today except the Royal Rumble

Conflicted feelings. So many booked in matches, but 0 wins and even had the only title change of the night.
