Just by adding Heyman to someones side, they instantly become a bigger attraction and more entertaining to watch.

The build doesn't even make sense though.

The Authority wants Lesnar to drop the belt, because he's unstoppable and off to UFC? Why are they booking Reigns in handicap matches, and constantly stacking the odds against him?

Rusev/Cena is a mess with heel Cena.

They've killed Orton.

Divas + Tag Team builds are nothing.

Sting and Trips keeps changing.

Undertaker/Wyatt currently feels like nothing.

At least the IC ladder match, has time invested into it, even if it is silly.

Axel, Miz and Mizdow are the only guys with any sort of upward momentum imo

It wouldn't even be that hard to create a quality card with the wrestlers available - there's some good talent it just needs longevity in a storyline and get rid of this authority bollocks.

Could have Wyatt going up against Triple H instead of Sting who could have faced the Undertaker (I know the match would have been poor but the drawing power is superb, it's a dream match). Wyatt could have faced Triple H for control of the company or something - and unleashed a year long of hell on other wrestlers/winning the belt before losing to Undertaker at Summerslam to hand it back to someone more suited. It would put him in a good slot.

We're still yet to see Ambrose vs Rollins vs Reigns on a big stage, and Cena could FINALLY turn heel against someone like Hogan after his match against Rusev.

Then let Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler wrestle for about 2 hours and no-one would complain.

Tricky where to put Lesnar, though.

Bryan vs Lesnar writes itself. David vs Goliath. The champion verse the man who never lost his title. People say Bryan isn't believable but in kayfabe terms he has beat Triple H, Orton and Batista all in one night. I just don't buy Reigns beating Brock atm either. He is not exactly all that strong (in relative terms) nor is he a a particular good wrestler.

It doesn't even matter if Bryan loses and Brock is leaving. Just have Seth cash in or something.

So instead of having a white hot build they have left themselves with a boring as fuck feud that is going to leave the WM main event winner being booed out the building.

Can see why they didn't go with Bryan tbf. He only got back just before the Rumble, and had a neck injury. Not sure he should be allowed to go near Brock.

TBH, it's getting very boring watching the last few RAWs & Smackdowns where the buildup to Wrestlemania looks shittier than ever before. I'm bored watching Heyman shouts his voice off on how Reigns CAN'T, WILL NOT, CANNOT beat his client & beast Lesnar week in week out & Reigns saying the same thing vice versa...the only way for this match to work properly is to have a match where both man beats each other up like hell just like how the HHH vs HBK matches used to be in the past...then have either man win but allow Rollins to cash in is MITB briefcase & emerge as the eventual champ...Brock can then go off to UFC while Reigns can start a potential rivalry with Rollins with Ambrose probably involved too

John Cena needs to lose to Rusev at Wrestlemania or else everything that was build up to it would seem pointless...they cannot have Cena beat Rusev after such a humiliating buildup to the match for Cena...this is the Mania where Cena finally drops out of the Mani Events & let others take his mantle & place...

Sting vs HHH sucks because of the theme...the whole WCW vs WWE theme just looks so bad because there was never anything there to begin with...IMO WWE should have just gone with Sting wanting to stop HHH as the Authority without the WCW vs WWE factor in there...

Wyatt vs Undertaker has a good buildup though with Wyatt delivering some pretty damn good promos....but I agree that it should be a Casket or Buried Alive match where Taker loses & Wyatt comes out of this match scarier & badder than before...have Wyatt take over Taker's mantle as WWE's resident demon from hell & retire Taker from matches for good...

It's probably been the worst RTWM but I'm still pumped for 'mania just because it's Wrestle-fucking-mania but I'm heading into this years 'mania with no expectations of it being a good show, thus I can't be disappointed so it's up to WWE to prove us all wrong and deliver a good show, considering the lack of build up to some matches - bar perhaps Rusev/Cena.

CENAWINSLOL

As much as I'd love to see Cena lose to Rusev at Wrestlemania, I just can't see it happening unfortunately and I fully expect John Cena to leave 'mania with the U.S Title but it doesn't overly bother me because at least he's not in the main event this year. What about that guy with Rusev this week on RAW instead of Lana? Bloody shite accent.

I'm hoping Lana's back to accompany Rusev to ringside against Cena....Oh Lana.

Cena with the US title would elevate it well though. Just because Cena wins doesn't mean he won't be putting Rusev over.

Just be who really hates guys going backwards? Once you have world belts should leave the mid card ones alone.

I agree in an ideal world it wouldn't happen.

But WWE love promoting guys way too early, people like Ziggler/The Miz/Khali have held the world title and they're just not good enough.

Yep, reckon they've got a problem of top guys not being over so promoting new guys to early, then them struggling and not getting over after a couple of months, and pushing new guys.

The way to save the midcard belts isn't Cena and Bryan imo, it's having Neville/Zayn/Owens/Devitt etc feuding over them like they mean something en route to the top belt.

I'd agree with that too.

Daniel Bryan defending the Intercontinental title against all comers shawn micheals style is clearly what they're going for though.

I always thought the intercontinental title was a good title to give to the best worker in the company, though.

That surely has to be Ziggler/Rollins/Bryan

Doubt it, I doubt WWE's creative team (ha!) will give a fuck about the US Title though, even if/when Cena wins at 'mania.

TBH, John Cena's WWE career is the fault of Vince & the WWE Creative team...in John Cena they have build up an image of a man who at all cost & in no matter what situation or circumstances will not bend over to the dark or bad side...always a face & always the hero...back then it was very popular with the WWE Universe so much so that people wanted to see Cena as the WWE Champ...look at the past 10 years, has anybody won or gotten more championship victories or opportunities than Cena? No. Remember when Mysterio beat The Miz to win the title after CM Punk had absconded with it after beating Cena? How did Mysterio held it for? Barely a day & he had lost it to Cena...the thing is the way Cena has been build up by WWE is now haunting & hurting him. The teenagers & adults no longer adore him & don't want him to win or to be in the Main Event picture...they even sing "John Cena Sucks" to the tune of his music...& here's the problem, despite all this WWE can't just do anything to change the Cena image & brand...its difficult...

Like in any sport, when one person or team is dominant for a long period of time, it becomes boring. That is what happened to Cena. I've nothing against him and i'm sure most WWE fans can respect him for what hes done, but his time is up at the top should be over. As Eugene Lee said, the WWE ruined him.

Rey Mysterio killed a guy in the ring over the weekend

Was a freak injury though. He dropkicked his opponent onto the ropes to set up a 619. But apparently the dropkick caused cervical spine trauma and he later died of cardiac arrest.

The dropkick didn't kill him, nor did Mysterio. The guy landed on his neck on the ropes rather than on his arms.

What's mad is that he missed the initial setup, hence the need for the dropkick. Insane how little things like that can change everything. Guys jump off 20ft ladders with little to no problem, guy does the simplest of setups and dies

Just been catching up on Mondays RAW, the 5 v 5 tag team and Rollins and JJ vs Orton were completely pointless.

Since I haven't watched much in the last couple years, since when is only two people allowed in the ring at once and why?

Same. I expected him to go back to UFC and prove hes the real deal again after he got destroyed by Velasquez.
