There won't be one.
It's just such a waste on Roman. I still have a strong feeling Brock retains. But, if he doesn't then this company really is only about having "the look".
Maybe Rock betrays Roman costing him the match. Rock vs Roman Wrestlemania 2016. Heh?

It has been known for a while he's taking dates until the end of April.
The thing is, part-timers are almost always over when they return. Look at a guy like Rhyno. When he left, no one gave a shit about him. He returns and people go nuts. Returning guys get a big reaction, and that reaction can be capitalized on. So the idea of part-timers can and will always exist.

Sorry brah, but that's somehow even less of a possibility than Undertaker interfering in the main event

I think if Brock re-signs on Monday night like WWE wants him to, he'll retain. I just don't see him re-signing before Mania.
Honestly, as much as I don't care about Reigns it's hard to fault WWE on their plan to put him over. It's pretty flawless.
Even if the middle of the story was bad the start and ending point of this push is pretty great. Shame the main guy in the story is someone I don't care.

I'm determined to make a better game than TEW, TEW is far too static with it's data and design. Nothing really grows and influences anything else.

Their plan is about as far from flawless as possible. He got pinned by Big Show, looked like an idiot when he lost to Rollins, played second fiddle to Orton on Raw multiple times, was given awful promos to cut, was pitted against another fan favorite, won the Rumble looking terrible, and on and on. Roman has been done no favors by the way he's been booked.

It also doesn't help that Brock's contract is up after Mania and he probably isn't going to resign, so either Reigns wins, Brock retains but Rollins cashes in MitB immediately after and wins, or they actually let Brock leave the company champion.
Also, your other statement made me realize that they should have tried to find some way to make Rock/Brock 2 happen before this, since Brock almost literally killing Reign's cousin could probably give this feud a lot more weight than what Heyman is having to pull out of his ass to make it seem interesting.
I liked it. I've liked Lashley for almost a year now. Feels weird to say.
As I said, the middle of the story was bad. But the idea of building up Lesnar and then having a new comer beat him at the biggest stage possible is great. Lesnar ending the streak, murdering Cena and then beating both Rollins and Cena makes him an incredible opponent to overcome.
From what I've been reading, Rock vs Brock 2 is the big rumor going around for the next mania. They can still do something to set this up.

Rock/Brock 2 isn't going to happen because Brock's leaving.

Wouldn't be surprised if Rock isn't even at WM this year. He's probably trying to get his Royal Rumble appearance deleted from the collective unconscious.

Re watching Eastbound & Down, pretty damn good. I never did finish the series. Love Will Farrel's Ric Flair character.

Brock leaving is very far from a guarantee.

I started with The two Rock promos, which I think are great..telling The Rock he is going to shit on his chest..and am working my way back.
I love the character, she feels total
embarassment for him.
On today's Botchamania there was a segment with Angle and damn, he was so fast. Seeing him as slow as he is right now sucks. Even if the match has been good so far.
I liked Lashley when he was in WWE. Probably because I was young and didn't know better. Of what I've seen on TNA I'm not sold on him.
I'm saying the general idea was awesome. Had they picked a guy that was already over and built him well enough and they would've made a star.
EDIT: Not only was the idea awesome is something that can't be done again for a long time. Is just a shame they squandered it.

i can't think of any good reason for him to leave unless they try to severely lowball him

Triple H lost at Wrestlemania, and Triple H lost at Backlash. [cit.]
Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'll tune in if I hear good things. 2 good shows don't signal a turnaround.

It'd be hilarious if the reason his return's getting delayed is because WWE wants him to grow back his Beaker hairdoo.

I think Brock leaves for two reasons:
1) WWE is in terrible shape, will not get better, is desperate, and Brock will always be able to get a deal from them.
2) There are a staggering number of easily winnable fights for Brock in the Ultimate. JDS, a non-gormandized Overeem, Roy Nelson, Gabe, Hapa Browne, and Mirko all come to mind.

Well the pick is from March 20 so he won't be returning for a while if they go by that idea. The funny thing is if he is bald he is going to look like Rowan.

I know! I can't wait until the Raw after Mania either!
Eh. That was okay. The RVD MitB clip was funny. Wish they'd done more of those accidental falls and jumps due to land mines.

But the thing is, Brock has been talked up incessantly as the beast and so on, but he's had 3 matches as champion and all of them involved Cena.
So he needs a lot more of this. Putting Roman over now isn't super smart cos a lot of people don't want him right now, and he isn't ready in terms of promos or in ring ability to even carry a match or feud let alone be the centrepiece of the company. It's really kind of crazy they are even trying this now. Brock should get another few months with the belt at least, but if they were smart, all the way to next Mania.

Angle would have been real good in the UFC, especially during that late 90s/early00s period when guys weren't as well rounded. Probably wouldn't hacd wrecked his body either.
I wonder if the crowd would accept a rematch next year where Roman finally slays the beast after getting murdered next Sunday.

Wall Cena and Sena in the same week, I love it MAGGLE.
I also wanted to say that the money in the bank gimmick has become super annoying. The way they keep the case around forever is just super dumb. There are so many opportunities to cash in and yet it never happens. So instead of going for the surprise they seems to keep it around as a get out of jail free card.
