Wrestlemania XXXIV Preview – Universal Title: Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns
Blink and you should miss it.
Raw World Title: Brock Lesnar(c) vs. Roman Reigns
This should be five minutes long. Really that’s what I see when I look at this. With Lesnar leaving for the UFC all but guaranteed, it makes next to no sense to have him be competitive here. If you want Reigns to be THE GUY (THIS TIME FOR SURE!), the answer is to have him do what no one else could (well save for Goldberg in that still annoying run): beat Lesnar, but do it so fast that it’s all anyone remembers.
So yeah of course Reigns should win here. If nothing else he needs to as I can’t bear the idea of seeing him given this kind of a push for another year. Besides, once he wins the title, WWE can realize that he’s already beaten everyone around and there’s not much of a point in doing this whole thing in the first place. Lesnar isn’t going to care about working a short match so make Reigns look like the giant slayer in the short form rather than the long and do something interesting.
Still don’t get the Goldberg squash at Survivor Series. But I’d be disappointed with a short match honestly, I thought their main event at 31 was fun as hell.
I’m dreading the idea that Lesbar is going to walk around the ring for 10 minutes, tale 1 Superman Punch, and have that be it. This smells a little like XX.
