Brocks Rumored WM 35 Opponent

[twan83]

Regarding recent WWE creative changes, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the current plan is for WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar to face WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35. This was not stated but it's likely that Rollins will drop the Intercontinental Title before WrestleMania, perhaps to Dean Ambrose in their match at the December 16 WWE TLC pay-per-view.


Lesnar is not currently scheduled to work TLC but his next major show will be the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Lesnar is scheduled to face Braun Strowmanat the Royal Rumble. Strowman is undergoing elbow surgery soon but the feeling is that he will be good to go by January.

The Rollins vs. Lesnar feud is scheduled to play off Roman Reigns in some fashion but we don't have specifics yet. We noted before that current plans call for Reigns' leukemia battle to be brought up in the storylines going forward.

Rollins and Lesnar squared off once before at Battleground 2015 when Rollins was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Lesnar won the match via disqualification after The Undertaker made a surprise appearance and attacked Lesnar. During an interview last year with Delaware 105.9's Rob Petree on Eagle 977, Rollins talked about possibly facing Lesnar again.

"If it were up to me, it would be tomorrow, ya know? But you got to wait for those title shots," Rollins said. "Our champion currently is Brock Lesnar on Raw - our Universal Champion - and he is a force to be reckoned win. He is also somebody who chooses to defend his title and fight on his own time. So you really gotta be kind of lucky to land those title shots

Rollins cool but I’d rather see a rematch with DB on the grandest stage..

 

[Jmare007]

Double Talk just said fukk it. LMAO at "the current plan is" being followed by "this was not stated" and "we don't have specifics yet".

It's basically, "Rollins is the only opponent that makes sense for Brock right now, who knows how they'll get there" and if he ends up facing someone else....well, plans changed

 

[CJ]

Seth definitely deserves it. Been Raw's top workhorse ever since that gauntlet match, before they cooled him off. Should have been in the ME scene instantly after that.

Still think AJ should get that next W on Brock, but this will do.

Brock's sell of the Curb Stomp is too. Match should be fire.

Another glorified squash match that people will pretend to like. Can't wait.

Brock going to lose sooner rather than later with his ufc fight coming up

 

[Dreamzeedream]

So braun will lose again

 

[CM_Burns]

Thatd be cool. I was so hype for their first match after the Rumble triple threat with Cena and their interaction on Raw after Seth won the belt.

Then the match was more of a storyline advancer than a match. These two with 20-25 minutes could put on something great.

 

[Leonard Washington]

They are Rybacking Braun if this is true

If it stops Seth doing the Superplex/Falcon Arrow, I'm all for it.

I don't know, their 2015 match was fine. Seth works better as a third wheel in a Triple Threat match as he can do his crazy spots to live things up.

Yeah, I hear you. My issue with Seth, as good as he is, was that his matches always seemed a little too.... choreographed? On some your turn/my turn shyt. Lacked the realism/fight of a D-Bry or AJ match.

I think he's gotten a little better there. So if it's not Brock vs AJ or D-Bry part 2 (just thought of a triple threat also with these 3 ).. then Seth will do.

 

[TRIPLE M]

Should be Lashley

Brock vs Jinder for the lucrative South Asian market

Seriously, I just looked at that RAW roster and there isn't anyone who can talk there. Your best actors on that roster are Goldust, Angle, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Elias and...Dean Ambrose?
