Brock Lesnar is going to win at Summerslam and it's because of the WWE Network.
Gut feeling. Lesnar only works a set number of dates. Lesnar goes over at Summerslam. Heyman comes out on Raw saying "my client doesn't wrestle on free T.V. You want to see Brock, you're going to have to pay to see him. Lesnar only wrestles on PPV, Heyman spends time on Raw promoting his matches and the WWE uses it to push to Network.
I guaran fucking tee this happens. |

Probably. I can't see Lesnar not winning regardless but once he does, he'll be a PPV only attraction like he has been. Just more blatant. Whether Heyman flat out says it or not.

Speaking of which, for those of us keeping WWE Network are we paying 60 bucks (in one shot now) with the new cycle or what?

I dunno, I can see Lesnar going nuts and getting DQ'd by using a chair or something on Cena.

I really can't see them going with a non-finish like that in the main event of SummerSlam.

Good God. Giving Seth Rollins the title at the end of SummerSlam would basically be WWE saying "You don't have to keep the network. No worries."

Maybe. But I'd rather see Rollins/Cena at Night of Champions than Lesnar/Cena again, wouldn't you?

Then again, Seth doesn't have to go over in his cash-in. He could always lose. Imagine Lesnar getting DQ'd for destroying Cena, Rollins comes out to cash-in and loses. The look on HHH's face would be priceless.

No. Lesnar-Cena brings a rare "big fight" feel even in a rubber match. Rollins-Cena brings a "Raw main event that I may or may not fall asleep to and definitely shouldn't be paying money to see" feel.

Would they consider using the "Streak Heat" to give Cena a further rub?

Would be great to see Lesnar/Cena go to HIAC with Lesnar beating Cena a third straight time. Might be the only time the "multiple HIACs" format works if we also get the blowoff of Ambrose/Rollins there too

Has to win, it'd be utterly stupid to have him beat the streak and then lose his next match to someone who doesn't need it.

If Lesnar could work full time until Mania I would love to see him beat Cena, cycle through 2-3 feuds, and then drop the title to Roman at Mania.

I've got a feeling he's gonna keep it til Mania and drop it then anyway. Not sure to who. Reigns is probably the leading candidate but I've got a feeling he's gonna keep losing steam and they're gonna second guess it.

The champion should be an active member of the roster. On TV every week (or at least every other week), in matches on a semi-regular basis (even if Teddy Long makes them tag matches), and needs to be able to be the face of the company where ever the company goes. |

Month-to-month is $20. Makes sense really. Will squeeze an extra $10 out of people who don't want to lock in to a commitment and are just getting the Network for the Rumble or WM. |

Lesnar will hold the belt to NOC, in hopes of people subscribing to the network after the initial 6 month time is over.

If Lesnar does win, how does he lose it? If he has beaten The Streak and "Superman" Cena, who is big enough to take him out? I don't see anyone being able to take it from him one-on-one, so he may have to hold it until Elimination Chamber or lost it at another PPV in a multi-man clusterfuck

Bryan should not be the one to take down Lesnar. He will be (if Punk doesn't end up coming back, anyways), but he shouldn't be. But I imagine he will return and they will use a win over Lesnar for the title to slingshot him back to the top where he was and where the fans want him. The only good out of this will be watching Lesnar and Heyman flip out about losing to the goatboy.
Reigns is an outside shot imo, I know this is WWE and he is super over, but he is too green in the ring right now for it. Wyatt may have a shot at it in a few months as well, as an interim feud, but I don't think he will win it either. Wyatt will be the one to take it from Bryan eventually, I think. |

Agree about Lesnar winning but think the WWE would still have done something huge for SummerSlam regardless if Lesnar was there or not. Cena keeping the title wouldn't have been it if their goal is to entice new people into the Network and keeping the existing ones.

I mean... Johnny Curtis is the guy but they've got a lot of work to do in 7 months. Assuming someone had the balls to watch him job to Diego this Monday night and finally turn around, smack Vince in the face and say "ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED!?"
