Brock wouldn’t be tampered with because a major angle with WrestleMania implications was apparently planned. It was reported earlier in the week that WWE did everything in their power to make sure the original main event of Roman vs. On the SmackDown side of things, well, it gets interesting.
I’d probably say Big E gets a rematch at the Rumble, Lashley wins the Rumble, and they hit the ground running from there. And there’s nothing to stop WWE from doing so.
Brock and Bobby is a dream match many have clamored for since Lashley returned to WWE, and there’s no better opportunity to do it. So where does Brock go from here? Well, judging on a brief post match stare down between Brock and Bobby, I think that’s your WrestleMania WWE Title Match right there. Underwhelming as it was, I don’t believe his loss was a referendum on his ability, but Brock is Brock. It’s rough, and it sucks, but the bottom line is Brock is at that point in his career where he’s just going to get those kinds of impromptu title runs, especially in WrestleMania season. Then Roman tests positive and he’s told Brock will be in his match and taking his title. This morning, he’s probably thinking he’ll be going into the Rumble as the WWE Champion. Big E (C), Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley – WWE Championship (Fatal Five Way)įirst, a word on Big E. Match was very well done, and aside from a few awkward moments (including the finish where it looked like Becky was trying to use the ropes but was too far away), I liked it. Would have made for a nice surprise though. I’m confident Liv is going to hold that title one day, perhaps within the next few months, but this is where WWE puts there reliable aces on the table, and while Liv will get there, it’s still Becky’s time. She never had that moment where I thought it was over.Įven when she was going for her rope-assisted finisher, it looked heavily choreographed into a reversal. I also felt as though Liv never really was going to actually win during the match. They definitely weren’t taking the title off of Becky at this stage in the WWE season. This was another well worked match between these two as Liv continues to grow as a singles star.
It’s not bad, and maybe if it were a title match or something it would feel more impactful.īecky Lynch (C) def. It’s sequences like that which doesn’t really advance the match and just serves to fill time. Miz goes back outside, tries to hit SCF on the announce table onto the table and Edge reverses it into a front face side slam before resting a little longer. Edge for some reason lies on his belly on the announce table. But I also thought there were a tad too many rest holds and spots that weren’t needed just to pad time.įor example, there was a sequence where Miz smashes Edge’s brain into the announce table. Match was fundamentally sound and well-worked, if not a tad slowly paced. Maybe this match is shorter if Roman/Brock is still on, but even so, this didn’t need the length of time it did to get to the somewhat predictable conclusion of Beth Phoenix evening the odds for his husband.ĭon’t get me wrong. That’s encouraging to know, but not always necessary. Its not always a bad thing, because he’s had some bangers, but sometimes I feel as though he has long matches just for the sake of us knowing he’s fully healthy and can still go for long periods.
