Stephanie > HHH when it comes to building heat as the top heel. She's great on the mic and better than most of the Divas in the ring.

HHH should have given Lesnar this title instead:

..and now the table is set for Cena to overcome the odds again for that 16th title reign.

So now that there it only one world title belt will the last 15 years or whatever it its be looked at as similar to the steroid era in baseball (It's always the steroid era in wrestling)? I mean will guys like Cena and Orton have *next to their accomplishments like Bonds or McGuire?

Cena kinda has to pull a Rocky Balboa and at least return to put up an actual fight.  This setup is ridiculous, if you ask me.  Cena has been booked as an untouchable Super Hero over the last several years, with the WWE determined to show that he is head-and-shoulders better than everyone else.  Now we have Doomsday beating the crap out of Superman; where the hell does that leave the rest of the roster?  Those guys that couldn't beat Cena, how can we believe they have a chance against Lesnar?

That leaves us with very few options in terms of valid title contenders: A) guys who have beaten Cena without overt cheating, which is a very short list, B) new guys who don't have a history against Cena, and C) Cena comes back with renewed hustle, respect, and loyalty power.

With option A, I can only think of Daniel Bryan and CM Punk.  We know how that stands for the moment.  Option B, only Reigns seems to have a chance, as Ambrose is gone for now.  As for Option C, I certainly wouldn't rule it out.

That leaves us with Bryan, Reigns, and Cena as the only real threats to Lesnar, with Ambrose being a very, very slight possibility down the line.  They might not let Bryan beat Lesnar because of his size, though I do think Bryan could drag a compelling match out of Lesnar.  Reigns needed Orton to pull him to a decent match at Summerslam, so a match against MMA-style Lesnar would be horrible.  He's still most likely The Guy, however.  I could also very much see Cena ultimately slaying The Beast, as well, which would actually be good writing--unfortunately, it would also validate my idea that Vince wants Cena to be a new age Hulk Hogan.  I fear this might all be a setup for another Andre the Giant at the Silverdome moment.  Then he really would be Superman.

Meanwhile, Rollins and Ambrose tear the house down on RAW when they're not saddled with a stupid Lumberjack stip.  These guys would have been awesome in the Attitude Era.  They basically proved THEY are the guys that the WWE needs to get people excited.  They were put in the main event and absolutely delivered.  Personally, if it were me, I'd put Cena and Lesnar on a boat with Big Show and send them off to sea without a paddle, just so I could move guys like Rollins, Ambrose,  and Cesaro up the card.

Lesnar destroying Cena was glorious. The best thing to happen in the WWE for at least a Year.

Eat Sleep Suplex Repeat.

So now we just wait for Cena's Rocky 3 montage with Hulk Hogan in the place of Apollo Creed.

You know what, Carl?  I think that you have predicted it.  It's going to be Rocky III and of course his next title win will be Rocky IV.  Does the WWE have anyone on the roster that fits the Ivan Drago and Ludmilla mold?  Hmmm.  Drago could end Hogan's attempt at a comeback.  If that actually happens I wouldn't be surprised.  The WWE is so generic.

Oh, and about Roman Reigns...  I honestly am starting to think that he's the worst wrestler on the roster.  He makes Ryback look like Bret Hart.

Also, I agree that Stephanie is the best thing going on the show currently.

D Bry is nowhere near returning and Punk isnt going to be back for a long time.

Were gonna get Cena/ Lesnar again for at least one more PPV and if they let Brock keep the title that will be followed by someone like Reigns or Orton. Wouldnt surprise me to see them go for another Big Show feud too now that Mark Henry is gonna be feuding with Rusev.

Wouldnt be surprised to see a Batista return at some point too.

Ha, it all makes perfect sense!

Steph is perfect. Its like she is Vince reborn.

After watching Smackdown I take this back.  Roman Reigns actually makes A J Lee look like Dean Malenko.

So it finally sunk in that Petey Williams retired. The hell happened to everyone in the X-Division? Like, seriously. They were some of the best wrestling entertainers (I personally think mat based wrestling is real wrestling vs the craziness they had in the X-DIvision) and now they're going to be forgotten. It makes me sad.
