Uce, I hope that this all true.

And all of those are his best recent matches. They've really killed his momentum with these nonstop squashes. Why should we give a fuck if he's just going to easily steamroll every single person on the roster?
I like the Roman vs Rusev feud. But I did want to see a match.

That headbutt sounded terrible when he hit it.

After SD would probably be best tbh, if it's going to happen

I was thinking SD but tomorrow may get some action in here for the Raw after Summerslam.
I feel like NXT shows matter.
Even though it's obvious why Asuka and Nakamura won, you still partially wanted those matches to go the other way. With Bayley, you wanted her to stay in NXT just a while longer. With Nakamura/Joe, the loser was guaranteed to go to the main roster.

Give Kane the win
well that shouldn't be a surprise, I mean isn't that the motto of Wrestlemania?

Data, do you think Joe should beat Brock? Or do you think it'd be the wrong move?
I still think that they're saving this for Roman
Maybe at Summerslam '17 or only at Mania 18', Reigns will finally get his clean win against Brock in a 1vs1 match
Joe v. Rusev

Joe/Brock would be a fucking amazing match if they'd give it 20 minutes. Problem is I don't think they want anyone to go that long with Lesnar unless it's Reigns.
I think Joe would need a title run first or something similar. Or they would need a month or two of Joe just running roughshot through the whole promotion. Brock's been built up to the strongest kayfabe entity in the WWE so Joe would have to get that Matanza level push and I don't know if they'd do that. The issue is that Brock is a heel. And Joe needs to be a heel. With the right booking, I could see see AJ or Joe beating Brock. Roman beating him already proves that seals been broken, but I don't know how you book it while keeping both heels unless it was like a freakshow match between Joe and Brock.
People joke, but I honestly wouldn't mind an improved Braun getting his vengeance at this point.
Alternatively, I wish Cena ACTUALLY had his worst year ever and suffered defeat after defeat to major Smackdown guys. Started to come off as his time being over and him being too old for this. And suddenly have him throw the gauntlet back down at Brock. Rocky/Drago style. Showed that magic for one last time.

We have no idea how they would book him. If I had said a month ago that I thought Balor would be world champ in a month by beating Roman and Seth clean, you would have thought I was living in fantasy land.
Hes fat. And samoan. You know exactly how they would book him.
Balor is ripped and has a Jeff Hardy merch type quality with the demon thing, of course they would push him to the moon.

Sounds about right. I disagree on Strowman, but I can see why you'd think that.
AJ's an interesting case. I think he and Brock could work really well together, but I don't know if they'd give him that Lesnar win. He really doesn't need it. He's made already, whereas they could make Joe instantly by giving him that win.
"Owens is fat, he won't get a push!"
*beats Cena in his first match*
The thing is, giving Joe that win would feel forced. He'd need to be made already before he can get that win.

I think he'd need to be made to a degree, but I think the Lesnar win is a "make a star into a superstar" type win like they were going for with Roman. I think AJ is already past that point, but Joe is a new start so they can build him up and then give it to him.
Not as much as Kronik or Naito
I think this win over Cena is exactly a "make a star into a superstar" win. Lets see if they follow it up.

Rusev is my favorite out of the 3. So Rusev

Although, I'm disappointed you didn't mention Slater as someone who could beat Brock. Have him surround the ring with all of his kids as they swarm Brock and Slater rolls him up.
I might need to gif that amazing rollup in the women's championship match tonight.
He's got a bit of that Kirk Angel and Jericho stank on him, too funny too often. It gets you stuck at that level more often than not. Rock and Austin were also hilarious but only occasionally.

I think the problem with Joe is his age more than anything. He's in god mode right now, but what guarantee do they have that he'll be around long enough to really generate them revenue off of a win against Brock? AJ has the same problem.
Roman makes sense. Maybe that really tall Eastern European amateur wrestler they signed a year or two ago will be ready before Brock decides to peace out. Otherwise, their options are limited.
Edit: I think Rusev is someone you could build back up, honestly, but it would require a concerted effort that I guarantee WWE don't want to make.

Big Cass is a goof. I honestly doubt Vince is ever going to seriously pull the trigger on him for the main event.
Edit: Big E is awesome, but Brock would dwarf him. Cesaro could certainly be credible against Brock, but he has the personality and drawing power of a cup of Swiss Miss.
