This Lesnar / Rollins thing is dying a death.

[Deleted]

I get that they're kind of boxed into a corner on it (albeit it's one of their own creation) but night one aside we've been doing nothing but an endless cycle of...

- Heyman talks about how awesome Brock is.
- Heyman reminds you that Seth got his ass kicked.
- Seth goes, "But I'm gonna win tho."

It's just completely lifeless and making this match feel like it couldn't possibly be less important. Reigns / Triple H had more fire behind it and half of that was Reigns on the shelf getting a nose job.

Yeah, this build has been ass. One of the worst builds to a Mania world title match I can remember in a long while.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

You'd think they would at least play up that Rollins was the one who ended Lesnar's title reign, and that he might be able to outsmart Lesnar again.

But that would make Seth look competent in this feud, so that's out the window.

I think that's the whole reason Ambrose is coming into play here. Last week Ambrose said Rollins needs to slay the beast. This week McIntyre tries to get at Rollins and Ambrose steps up to him. Ambrose then asks where Rollins was. It all sounds like a setup to have Lesnar take Ambrose out to give this Rollins/Lesnar feud an extra umph that it doesn't have right now.

That video they did was dope. The one with Paul’s promo and showing clips. That was cool. Everything else is eh about this. The promo packaging crew are carrying like 90% of this feud.

[The Heartbreak TWERK]

Just beat Brock and send him to do literally anything but be in a title feud. Please.

I'm done with this dude.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

This is why Becky needs to close Mania, this is absolute ass, and Brock simply doesn't garner any interest anymore

[schma]

The thing is, this is exactly what I expected from the build. Every Brock build is the same. Paul Heyman occasionally shows up to deliver the same promo he's been doing for years almost word for word. Whoever is facing Brock talks about how they will be the one to finally take him down (apparently Goldberg didn't count). Potentially they mention how Brock is never there. Possibly once during the build Brock will show up and bounce around while Paul repeats his promo just to spice things up. At this rate we'd almost be better of with them just announcing his opponents a week or two before the match since it would give them enough time to build the match as much as they do now.

Ok, so, you pay Brock a gazillion dollars. Fine, whatever.

But isn't it then f***ing reasonable to ask him to speak or wrestle or to DO SOMETHING!?

He bounces in place. Heymans talks. Every. Single. Time. Occasionally he hits a few F5's.

Vince is his bitch. Motherf***er is blessed.

Rollins is so absurdly flaccid as a character rn that I can't even say I want him to beat Lesnar. Like, I want Lesnar gone as much as anyone, but at the hands of this dork? f*** that

[DZ: WF Legacy]

Didn't they do a thing last year where Baron Corbin took Braun's MitB and kept it for safe keeping after he had to relinquish it? Baron Corbin is going to recreate the heist of the century come Wrestlemania!

The sad thing is that it is exactly a year to the date that Rollins caught on fire thanks to the Gauntlet match (that JUST elevated Kofi Kingston to main event status), but as they should be sealing the deal on crowning him as Raw's next big babyface, they have completely doused him with ice water instead because they don't know how to make him a threat to Brock Lesnar.

I can't wait for the title tug of war for the last Raw before Mania.

I don't buy into Seth. Like, he's impressive and one of those guys with a ton of stamina, which is cool and all, but he's just got this quality to him that makes me think, "This is the guy who will unplug your controller because you're kicking his ass". He's just got this weaselly, pissy vibe.

He used Create a Finisher to give himself a move where he kicks you in the crotch 40 times to bring you down to red, and still loses.

It does not help that this is the 4th time they have done this exact same build

[Deleted]

They had a decent main event with Beast vs. Demon. But Seth is one of the favorites soo... it’s his turn?

I wish they wouldn’t accounce the mainevent so quickly.

Becky should have with Ronda. Everything has made sense with the woman’s match.

Seth announcing just felt like a cheap rating pop. It would have been better for him to play mindgames with both Bryan and Brock for a few weeks even if the outcome was predictable. Seth is injuried so him hanging out on smackdown watching the elimination chamber build would have made that match seem slightly more important.

Instead a couple F5s and Seth and Brock both go missing for a month.

I almost wonder after the Braun/Paul interaction if they're considering inserting him to liven things up. If any title build needed a third person it's this one.

How many multiman matches would that be between Braun and Lesnar.

Braun is damaged goods at this moment. He’s been protected but has been Lesnars bitch for the past two years.

My guess is it's a precaution in case Seth's back isn't better by Mania. Which is also pretty much the exact scenario Braun was in last year, being kept on the backburner in case they needed to add him to Reigns / Lesnar.

Oh I agree.  I'm not saying it's a good thing necessarily.  I just wouldn't be surprised if that was what they were doing.  People were worried Ronda couldn't hold up her end of her feud but Brock is non-existent in his.  Asuka hasn't even been on tv since she won the title (or did she make a cameo.  I don't think she did).  Hell the women's tag titles have had more of a build and they were just awarded last night.
