RIPPA Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 10 hours ago, just drew said: I read that there was a plan to bring him back w Harper, but Harper needed surgery on a nagging injury. Damn shame what they’ve done to an innovative promo like Wyatt while Rollins drones on in his nasally grating voice about absolutely nothing... Harper already had his surgery and is coming back with Rowan Rowan just got cleared. Harper is supposedly close (including one site saying he already got cleared) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehabilitated Rick Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 10 hours ago, just drew said: If Rollins does win, I could see him working Bryan at Mania. There doesn’t seem to be a natural opponent for Bryan at wrestle mania. Raw could get their challenger at elimination chamber. McIntyre, Strowman, Ambrose, are all guys who could come out of the chamber to challenge Balor. McIntyre or Ambrose would give Balor a natural heel matchup. Same with Rollins/Bryan. Then Strowman and Lesnar can kick the shit out of each other without the title. Selfishly after watching Jeff Hardy's tribute show last month I'd totally be behind a Jeff Hardy/Bryan match on a big show. Randy seems to be a face again so there's another option. The AJ feud could be stretched to a potential blow off match there. Rollins/Lesnar is the big match on the Raw side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm surprised it's only $13. For something like that at an arena concession stand I'd expect double that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I hope it's a 4 way for the title at Mania - Lesnar, Rollins, Balor and Strowman, not necessarily because I want to see that match, but because I don't want to see the alternative 2 singles matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesnaer tried to German Braun, but Braun counters with a go-behind. Rollins tries to interfere, get tied up by Braun in front of Lesnar. Balor tries to interfere, gets tied up by Braun in front of Rollins, FIRST EVER THREE VICTIM GERMAN! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 A multi-man match leaves open the option for somebody to win without pinning Brock, and that should not happen. Brock needs to be beaten or the victory will ring hollow and the threat of him coming back to claim he was never beaten is still there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Which is exactly what they'll do. Either because they still want Reigns to beat him, or because you can get Braun to beat him clean either at the PPV after or at Summerslam instead.

Lesnar's best matches the last 3 or so years were singles matches against AJ and Bryan. Lesnar works best when he isn't working this suplex city bs in the first place or has guys who can work around it for something more interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Cena/Rollins and the Joe/Reigns/Braun war. If your options are Bálor, Rollins, or Braun, his best bet is a multi-man where guys can cycle in and out and no one takes too many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
