The only positive is that Cena won't get a title match out of this....
Great job, WWE. Having not one, but TWO part-timers hold your main belts.

Between the biggest (WWE) and the second biggest (AEW) wrestling companies in America, the youngest world champion is 42 year old Brock Lesnar.
Shit’s wild.
Not stoked about Big Bill winning the belt in the least, but the Fiend probably should have never been in the world title picture to begin with. It doesn’t fit with the character at all, and his custom belt was an abomination.
Can’t say I’m super enthusiastic about either of Smackdown’s top two Mania matches at this point.

Eric Bischoff came back. Paul Heyman is here. Goldberg is Champion. Lesnar is Champion. Orton is killing legends. Undertaker is beating up your heel of the month club. Cena's gonna be doing some upper mid-card stuff.
Oh shit. We're one Bra and Panties Match away from going full 2003.
If we don't get a Here Comes The Pain remaster, I'm gonna sue.

Mania this year is a bit meh compared to last year when we had the Becky and Kofi story Feels like a year off for LA next year

Just think, they still won't pull the trigger on Braun Strowman.

Putting him in the title picture in his second match was stupid... especially as the fiend gimmick is the type of gimmick that sells itself and doesn't really need a title. And certainly not one that it's around like all the time. The problem, people were treating the gimmick as the next best thing and with Seth stinking up the joint, he was the logical conclusion to put the title on He doesn't need long title reigns either plus with the way the match ended, Goldberg hit him with like 10 spears in a row which he kicked out and then a jackhammer and got back up 30 seconds later People were losing their minds too when he first went after Seth. WWE was actually giving fans something they were wanting.

I’m sure I’ll get excited as Mania gets closer because that’s just how things happen for me, but like... there’s nothing I’m looking forward to yet.

If we don’t get Bayley vs Dana Brooke in a bra and panties match the whole thing wasn’t worth it.

Yea, in this case WWE gave the fans what they wanted with Bray getting the title when he really didn't need it He is still going to get a marquee match and he lost nothing in losing to Bill

I don't think age is the issue really, it's more that Goldberg is the exact same guy he was 23 years ago and Brock has been doing the same thing for 5+ years now as well. Jericho works every single week (and in multiple countries) while changing shit up regularly, at least. Also, the Roman/Fiend story wrote itself by Roman basically being Bray's greatest rivalry for years and he could have been the guy to rip his mask off which would have shaken Fiend off then beaten him. Would have been better than this.

Yea, day of i'll be hype but compared to last year when I went i'm just more in meh mode right now The card just looks incomplete tho it looks like we are getting a heavy "old timer" type of card Predicted matchups this far: Brock vs Drew Taker vs AJ Goldberg vs Roman Edge vs Randy Orton

lol, this is so typical of current WWE. They had an act that was hot and over as hell, had no idea what to do with him, put him in a position he was never meant for, and then brought in an old part-timer to clean up the mess. The Fiend should only ever have been a special attraction type character that did what he wanted—world titles should never have been on his agenda. Practically everyone on these boards thought the world title match versus Seth was far too early and shouldn't happen and hey, we've all been proven right.

Makes sense. How do you stop an indestructible monster? You throw Goldberg into it. So Goldberg vs Roman? Or Cena? Crazy talk here ,but you build up an young talent that has The Fiends number

Despite some excitement, Lot of people here were looking ahead when Fiend won the title and saying it was a bad idea.

I saw pictures I'm kinda sad they didn't make Goldberg pose with the fiend belt. On the plus side the ugly ass fiend belt is gone already. Would've looked a lot like this.

If Goldberg is nothing more than the placeholder for the title until Roman defeats him at Mania then I don't see the big deal. I look forward to this match moreso than a Roman-Bray match.
If Bray gets Cena at Mania and especially defeats Cena a Mania then nothing is lost on Bray's part and he isn't ruined at all.
