Brock by miles. I can't believe Roman is winning this poll. Brock phones it in every time he's there. The absolute state of his performances is embarrassing. Roman is winning because Brock isn't there every week doing the same old shit for years on end making sure that the entire momentum of the show comes to a dead stop, and then cuts off literally every other member of the roster off at the knees. That's all Roman. At least Roman is actually there every week, putting on good matches and delivering good promos. He doesn't spam one move and beat everyone within minutes cause he's too lazy to have an actual real match. When you think "Brock Lesnar in the Elimination Chamber", you think "Man that sounds good." - Wrong. He will just come in at the end, do his little F5 and Bury everyone in the match in the space of about 2 minutes. But I'm supposed to believe Roman is a bigger problem. Brock Lesnar has been the biggest problem in the company since Suplex City became a thing. The company do nothing but bend over backwards for him and the worst thing is, he doesn't give a shit about the business. He's just there to put in the least amount of effort possible while making more money than anyone. No wonder ratings are at an all time low. The company are too busy relying on these lazy part timers like him, Goldberg and Ronda to bother making any credible new stars. They could've had something big with Keith Lee and they pissed it all away. He should have been the one to dethrone Roman. |

brock has at least had a character refresh in the last 12 months to make him a bit more interesting, roman has been more or less the same in the last 12 months I guess it's the old school fan in me but I grew up with wrestlers' having the same character and heel/face allegiance for years on end. I mean look at Bret Hart - from 1991 to 1996 it was the same face character. Roman beingthe same character for a couple of years doesn't bother me much. Current Brock is hilarious. Roman had a lot of personality stripped from him with the heel turn and has had more removed to turn him very bland, even old school wrestlers had more personality on show than he's shown for a while. |

Roman's at 538 days and people seem to think he's gonna have a vice grip on the title for another year (give or take)?  Yikes. |

Easily Brock. I'm really digging Roman's title reign. He's just killing it right now. It's gotta be the best title run in quite some time.

When I can skip the first 10-15 minutes of most SD’s because it’s just Roman NEEDING to come to the ring as slowly as possible and WWE REFUSES to just speed it up a bit. And he usually just cuts the same boring “I am the Tribal Chief, I am the Head of the Table Acknowledge Me” whatever promo week after week. It makes Smackdown a chore to sit through most weeks.
Nothing would give me more joy than to have another wrestler just go “you’ve been prattling on about the same thing to two years, shut the Hell up already.”

Neither, both are as entertaining as they’ve ever been. Don’t need Brock as a champ though.

The least they could do with Roman is make him take a L, or two
Or three
Or four.
Cena, Rock, and Austin took losses as champs. Roman’s not that special.

Especially since he's the heel... heels are supposed to make the faces look good... it's like their one real job... and NO ONE comes out of a feud with Roman looking good. |

Roman.
Face Brock is fresh. I even like that he recently talked about the anxiety that he deals with in the ring. It explains everything about why he lives the way he does. He doesn't hate people more than they make him anxious.

It also showed Roman losing control.
Of course, with Seth losing in the Elimination Chamber and Roman acting like nothing happened, it looks as though that storyline is done.

I'll say Roman. It's not "go away" heat with me, but I feel that he's been doing the same thing every week for over a year now and it's just gotten boring to me. The matches are still good, yes, but you know he's just going to win in the end so it's hard for me to pay full attention and I think the last time I even kinda enjoyed one of his promos was back in August. Brock's matches mostly suck and I'm tired of him holding the title, but I still think the current babyface shtick is gold; it's probably the most I've ever enjoyed him. And he doesn't take 15 minutes to get to the ring.

At least Brock has a different look and vibe right now, but having him mow through the entire EC doesn't help anything.
Reigns is hard right now because they've booked everyone else but Brock so poorly. No one is a real threat to him. It's like watching the best team in the NFL play scout teams every week.
My answer ends up being Reigns, but not so much because of him- more because the Reigns champion saga is predictable and pretty empty right now.

I'm less tired of Brock, but I wasn't a huge fan of how the EC was booked.
If people are really unhappy now, wait until Roman beats Brock at Mania and they're spinning their wheels until Hollywood. I genuinely have no idea what they'll do with Roman after Mania except maybe Drew? Could see that at SummerSlam, I guess. But he's run through everyone now.

Definitely Brock. His "part-timer final boss that has the title but never actually appears on the shows" character was played out 5 years ago. And, I'm sorry, but "the same character except now he's a cool good guy antihero, but he's still going to have the same match every time he wrestles" is not a character refresh, in my opinion.
If I never saw another Brock Lesnar match again, it would be too soon, and I can honestly say his interminable presence as WWE's "final boss" is, more than any other reason, why my WWE fandom has waned so much over the last decade.
