What if Brock never came back?

[ChitownKnight]

Say he stuck with UFC, what if he never came back to the squared circle? Who would break the streak? Would Cena have turned heel at some point and broke flairs record? Who would be Roman’s biggest rival? Would Mox have left?

[Von Wagner's Brownies]

I think Mox would've left regardless of if Brock came back or not.

I think Cena turning heel would only have ever happened in an alternate dimension at this point, however I think he could've broken Ric's record if Brock hadn't returned. As for Roman? Maybe they would've kept hold of Braun?

This is a good "what if" to noodle on.

So, does Heyman never come back? Does Triple H vs CM Punk happened at Mania 29? Does the Ryback experiment last longer?

Undertaker would have to go back to letting McCool dress him

probably not as the higher ups at wwe had figured out Ryback, his strengths, his weaknesses, his tendency to open his mouth and place both feet into it.

[Push R Truth]

I'm trying to say this without sounding like a broken record, but probably "more Roman winning, earlier and more often"

[Deleted]

Roman ends the streak probably at WM32 which increases the negative crowd reactions with even casual/non smarky fans furious at him and his heel turn is accelerated.

Batista wins the title at WM30 or wins it off Bryan soon after and hangs around for longer. Perhaps WM31 is Sting v Taker and the title match is Batista v Roman v HHH with Rollins cashing in.

That's my Happy Place.

[David-Arquette was in WCW 2000]

I reckon they'd have tried to hold on to Cena longer, working a fuller schedule and using him to elevate Reigns.

But the Brock came back the very next day
The Brock came back, they thought he was a goner
But the Brock came back, it just couldn't stay away
Away, away

"Bearcat City, Bitch!" becomes the hottest meme in 2021.

[Mozenrath]

It's such a game changer. It's possible no one beats the Streak and 'Taker just coasts with it for a bit.

No Brock return has major ramifications of Triple H, Cena, and Roman, obviously.

Braun probably gets a harder push, maybe they don't have Bray on the back burner quite as much and get more proactive with him. Goldberg's return and if Jericho gets pushed harder are also hanging questions. Kurt's return and AJ Styles' debut are also open questions.

Moxley likely still leaves due to frustration, but it might not be as heated.

[canceled4truth]

I wonder if Roman turns heel earlier. Braun and Samoa Joe probably have a few more world title wins on their resumes.

I think we also get the famed Shield Triple Threat match as a WrestleMania main event sometime between WM31 and 34

[H-Virus]

There’s a strong possibility that I’d still be watching WWE today.
