Somewhat lost in how crappy tonight's RAW was is the fact that Lesnar/Cena is now Lesnar/Cena/Rollins. What do you see happening as a result of this change, and what do you think this means for Mania?

I still think the only reason why Rollins is in there is so Cena doesn't have to get pinned again.

Cena pins Rollins, Lesnar lays him out, then Rollins cashes in. I can't see it going down any other way.
Either way, at least now the match'll actually be good. Wasn't seeing any chance it would be as it was, because the Extreme Rules and SummerSlam stories have been done already, the Night of Champions spin on the same idea was awful, and Lesnar doesn't exactly have a great track record with back-and-forth matches since coming back.

I think they just plugged Rollins in this match because the original plan was Rollins vs. Orton, and Orton's deviated septum prevented this match from happening.
Sure, they could have put Rollins in the Rumble, but does anyone buy him winning the thing when he has the briefcase?

Rollins pretty much has two chances to win the belt that night unless he saves it for Mania.

It would make the most sense to use the Triple Threat angle to get the belt off Brock while still keeping his "unbeatable monster" aura all shiny for a Reigns job at 'Mania. So, in short, I have no idea why Rollins was added

Wait, I thought Rollins being in the match was his cash in.

Rollins is there because they don't want Cena to get pinned again, but I don't see how that makes Cena look better than the last two times he got outright demolished by Lesnar.

This makes things very interesting. I really have no idea how it could go down. I just feel this is the time to have a shocking ending, rather than an anticlimactic clean one. Even with the skeevy PPV endings from last year, leave the finality for Wrestlemania.

Let's bask and reflect on what a reign that was. This would actually be the second time this has happened to John. Cheap booking at it's finest. And before someone responds about Flair getting a mere one day with the belt, at least the sun rose and set once before they took the belt off him. |

I really don't want Rollins to be champion in the next few months. I just have a fear he'd get completely lost in the shuffle.

If Lesnar retains he faces Reigns or Bryan at Mania.
If Cena wins, all I can think of is a title match against Reigns (But I think it is way too soon to blow this match)
For Rollins I'm struggling to see a Mania Main event. Maybe a Shield Triple threat title match, but I really don't see this happening.
Therefore, Lesnar is walking out Champion at the Rumble as he has more viable opponent options at Wrestlemania.

Like I said in the Raw thread I want Rollins to win the title in the three way, win the rumble itself, wrestle himself in the main event of Wrestlemania and then do a run in after the match and cash in his MITB contract on himself as well. #SethForBusiness

Rollins wins, then puts the title into the briefcase, causing the arena (and WWE Universe) to collapse in on itself.

Rollins. Then Vince or some other newly appointed face authority figure forces him to forfeit the briefcase.

I'm wondering about them maybe doing Rollins / Bryan for the title as sort of a throwing a bone to people but doing it midway through the Mania card, with a non-title Reigns / Lesnar and Sting / Triple H as the actual hyped matches. |

Eh, that's fine. The fans want Bryan to get a shot at the title he never lost. WWE wants to push Reigns. This way Bryan gets his title match, a "new" talent walks into Mania as champ, and WWE's golden boy still gets a high profile match without giving him a championship run he's far from ready for. |

Still think Lesnar walks out with it. For 1, I don't see them wasting Cena's record tying 16th world championship with a five second cash in run. For 2, Lesnar makes more sense for a heel champion marquee match going into Wrestlemania. Wait, I thought Rollins being in the match was his cash in. No, it was a present from the Authority. Rollins. Then Vince or some other newly appointed face authority figure forces him to forfeit the briefcase. Didn't someone have the title and briefcase at some point? |
