$20 says this doesn't work Vince...

[The_Unchosen_One]

– The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via WrestlingInc.com) this week had an update on WWE not mentioning Brock Lesnar at all this Monday on Raw. As previously reported, Brock Lesnar made an appearance at UFC 226 last Saturday, challenging new UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. Additionally, Lesnar has re-entered the USADA drug-testing pool in order to become eligible to fight again in the UFC due to his previous failed drug tests in 2016.

According to the Observer report, Vince McMahon personally made the decision not to mention Lesnar on Raw last Monday in order to focus on the build for Extreme Rules this weekend. Also, the report states that McMahon informed those backstage at a production meeting ahead of Raw that Lesnar’s name would not be mentioned during the show, and WWE could start talking about Lesnar again, “When he’s being offered to our audience and we can capitalize on it.”

Additionally, McMahon is said to be “adamant” about creating the idea that Lesnar is turning his back on WWE fans and leaving the organization for the UFC. WWE wants to push the idea that Lesnar is trying to leave without losing the WWE Universal title in the hopes that fans will support Roman Reigns when they possibly face each other again.

Hasn't this storyline push been happening since Mania? No one gave a shyt then, why would it work now?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I love hearing about Vince and his Schemes behind the scenes, that's Hilarious.


....and if it Works?

Hook, Line & Sinker

The other day Dave said that something had happened between Brock and Vince, now he pulls this bullshyt out his ass Someone on IG had an idea to just retire the Fruit Roll-Up and let Brock keep it. Bring back the big gold belt and have that be the Raw title.

This dude just doesn't give up. I swear I never seen such a megapush that backfired in so many ways than one. Even Diesel had breaks during his terrible pushes during the lowest point of the WWE.

[Theolodius_Black]

Let's say for shyts and giggles that I start cheering Roman Vince.

At this point I have no problem with Reigns squashing Brock in a matter of seconds. Everything is in a holding spot right now.

You got Braun and even Seth who is on fire right now, primed and ready to be in the ME scene.

And then Roman......

 

[The Rainmaker]

So he's trying to make Roman the hero who will rescue the Universal title from the hands of "that traitor" while having Lashley calling him on his bullshyt on a worked shoot every week saying he doesn't deserve more opportunities? Sure.

Meltzer is getting clearly worked on a lot of this Reigns stuff and has been for awhile. It gets bought though because it’s what people are already all in on, even to some illogical degrees.

When Brock loses the belt or shows up again, it’s likely going to be to and versus Braun.

 

[Breh Obama]

Does Brock actually even have fans in the normal sense?

 

[AquaCityBoy]

That could work... with literally anybody other than Roman.

Hell, that should be the catalyst for Braun cashing in. You gon get these hands before you go, Brock.

Other than people still trapped in 2003 who have low standards, not really.
