People gotta understand that this is what happens when Brock and Heyman are there on a more frequent basis. They're catchphrase machines built to get merchandise and other people's feuds over. Brock is no longer the conqueror he was a year and a half ago. He's just a monster that's been leveled up pretty well, but is no longer the final boss.
They're a part of the machine again. (as marginal as the step down may be) They've definitely made Brock less of a star and less of a world-beating presence. The assimilation into the rest of the roster has been handled all wrong. You're supposed to bring guys UP to Brock's level; not bring him DOWN to the rest of the people hovering right below the main event.
Compare the triple threat he's about to enter at Fastlane vs. the one he participated in at last year's Royal Rumble: In the FL match he's the third wheel in the brother vs. brother match. At RR he was literally so frightening that the story going into it was whether or not Cena and Rollins could make it out of the building that night. Heyman just comes out and spits the same phrases over and over cause that's what WWE sees in Brock. He's a brand, and Heyman has to sell that brand, so when he's got nothing to do Paul has nothing to say.
I'd love to see Brock and Heyman be put in an inspired program again, but it's not looking likely. This nonsensical thing with the Wyatts just feels like another distraction until they figure out what to do with Brock again.
