goc Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I would be down for seeing Brock in a MITB match if not just for seeing him smash multiple people at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchistxx Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It doesn't really make sense in the context of the storyline though - Brock already has a rematch clause for the strap. Suppose the incentive for Money In The Bank is that he could cash in whenever he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russellmania Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It makes sense because it allows Brock to bypass all the red tape from the authority preventing him from using his rematch clause. If they can somehow spin it that Heyman found a loophole to get him into the MITB match then it gives him a more direct route to the title than his rematch clause.

Grimmas Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It something the WWE wouldn't consider, but would a Reigns and Ambrose tag title run work right now? Let them run through Show/Kane, New Day and Ascencion to get a title shot. Give them long workrate matches with Cesaro/Kidd, Usos and Lucha Dragons so Reigns can get some smark cred and Ambrose can have focus and win matches again. Feud them with Sheamus/Barrett and Wyatt/Harper. Hell, just call them the Shield again. Then they can drop the titles to an upcoming team like Balor/Itami and be the final 2 in the Rumble, with Reigns winning. Reigns stays away from the world title picture for 10 months and a rematch with Brock or Rollins is completely fresh. That would be freaking awesome, with the BIG IF being they treated it as a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 The best way to get Reigns over now is to turn him heel and have him cut promos on the fans for turning their backs on him and being just a cocky prick which he can easily do.

Bierschwale Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Will be interested to see if Harper can get Ambrose back on track. I think that non-retrieval singles TLC is one of the dumbest gimmick matches that they can book, though. It's just so inorganic because it demands the most obvious spots. If they weren't doing... whatever with Reigns, I don't know, I am buying into them putting a hit out on him at this point, I'd say that running Ambrose/Reigns/Ryback-Harper/Show/Anyone But Kane isn't a bad idea. If we're working under the idea that he needs, more than anything, GOOD MATCHES where he goes over, you might as well go for broke and repeat TLC 2012 & Extreme Rules/Payback from last year.

Loss Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I do think there is potential in an angle where Ambrose volunteers himself to team with Brock against those two because no one knows them better and then the obvious happens.

WashingtonFB Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I wouldn't turn Reigns yet though. They can get more mileage out of him as a babyface provided they book him in matches with great workers. I would have held off on Sheamus/Bryan and brought a heel Sheamus back to work with Reigns for the next two months. If they really do put him in a PPV match with Big Show or Kane then I would seriously have to consider the political hit theory. I mean, Hunter was able to avoid a Big Show match on PPV last year when Big Show actually had momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steenalized Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 To go with the idea of Brock in MITB, my thought was that he wouldn't even be in the match, but would show up, destroy everyone, take the contract, and leave. Only he gets a title shot since he has a rematch clause and the physical briefcase. Sends the point that he's not to be messed with. Downsides are that it probably makes your MITB contestants look like crap and you burn a Brock appearance on an unbilled showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmmnx Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Kevin Owens would be a great opponent for Reigns. It would be pretty cool if they could do some angle where HHH gets his most dangerous NXT guy to try and keep Reigns from getting to Rollins.

You could have it both ways regarding the issue of having him billed or not. Have Heyman announce on a RAW leading up to the PPV that he has managed to get his suspension lifted and that he intends to make an appearance at the PPV. But he doesn't have to say what the nature of that appearance will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bierschwale Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It'd be a pretty incredible way to personally shit on the upper mid-card guys who would be in that match, who could range from Ambrose, Barrett, Bryan, Harper, Orton, Reigns, Rusev, Sheamus, Wyatt, Ziggler... "Yeah, we put you in the title match of the PPV where the winner gets a title shot that you get to carry around in physical form and use to get yourself over, and we're going to need you to spend 10-15 minutes or so taking insane bumps, and it's all just the setup for an angle to get the part-timer who's already the most over guy in the company even more over."

Parties Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 On a barely related note, I just bought a ticket to Summerslam, which is making me that much more hopeful/curious about the booking through August. Fingers crossed on getting to see Brock slam dunk someone through a table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul is screaming "Brock, no!" throughout and then he takes the briefcase. This also gives WWE the chance to write one of their wacky storylines about lawyers as they try to wrest the contract from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 with Kane presumably turning babyface does anyone think that he will be the placeholder challenger for Rollins over the Spring/Summer PPVs until the inevitable Rollins/Reigns/Lesnar match at Summerslam? I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that was the plan. Wyatt will either be feuding with Reigns or Orton (has to be one of these two he's referring to in the promos) My initial guess is Orton and Wyatt costs him the match against Rollins at the PPV when he seemingly has the title won. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to be programmed with Reigns although him causing Roman to lose to Big Show would be a disaster (mob hit?) So either Orton or Reigns is going to be directionless coming out of ER unless they continue with their current programs (yuck) a Cena/Bryan unification match seems logical for Summerslam but again the gut tells me Vince still wants his long term Bryan/Sheamus program so Cena gets stuck with Show or Kane (if he doesn't turn). Or they reverse it with Bryan/Show and Cena/Sheamus. Same shit basically so yeah I'm not exactly psyched about the next 4 months of programming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bierschwale Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 This is why the "The Authority's on vacation!" episodes are so dumb. Why the hell is Kane making these dipshit moves like trying to "punish" Rollins with a match that night? (And against Neville, who shouldn't yet be considered a real threat to beat Rollins. And why is a week-on-the-main roster face getting that kind of chance from a heel GM? God, that match made no sense.) Also, I think that Lesnar-Rollins works best for MITB. I think that I'll have a stroke if they run an actual Lesnar-Reigns-Rollins triple threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
