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.

#1-norm-fan 08-07-2014 01:47 AM

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?

Yeah I think so. Either that or 19.99 on a per monthly basis from what I understand.

Sepholio 08-07-2014 02:28 AM

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

#1-norm-fan 08-07-2014 02:41 AM

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

I don't see this happening, personally. Not at Summerslam, in the main event.

SlickyTrickyDamon 08-07-2014 02:51 AM

Unless it was all a set up for Plan B.

Nope cena conquers all

Sepholio 08-07-2014 02:59 AM

wow STD read my mind.

#1-norm-fan 08-07-2014 03:09 AM

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."

Sepholio 08-07-2014 03:17 AM

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

Sepholio 08-07-2014 03:19 AM

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.

#1-norm-fan 08-07-2014 03:22 AM

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.

XL 08-07-2014 04:24 AM

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

Mr. Pierre 08-07-2014 07:17 AM

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

Big Vic 08-07-2014 07:58 AM

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.

FourFifty 08-07-2014 08:16 AM

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.

It would be cool to see Lesnar with the strap again, but I really dislike the idea of a "part time champion".
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.

<font color=goldenrod>I don't believe you have to pay $60 in one shot. It's optional. If you sign up for the 6 month commitment you can pay $60 at once or just stick with the usual $10 per month over 6 months. Either way you spend $60 total. The one-time payment is really just for people who want to get it over with.

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.</font>

Big Vic 08-07-2014 11:18 AM

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

Nicky Fives 08-07-2014 11:26 AM

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

Big Vic 08-07-2014 11:27 AM

They will hotshot reigns.

Cena or Bryan.

DaveBrawl 08-07-2014 02:18 PM

Sting, so he can break Undertaker's streak by proxy.

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.

When does that start? i.e. when do I need to make sure I have $60 in my account for it lol

Emperor Smeat 08-07-2014 04:16 PM

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.

Reigns. Baring a sudden injury, Lesnar losing the title before Mania would be a big mistake.

As long as it stays at 9.99 its cool, I'm just wondering because I normally have just enough for my monthly fees (Netflix, WWE, the bank.. Ect ) and if I end up putting 60 dollars in the bank for what I assumed they want to do and it will just be the usual $9.99 a month I would end up spending that $50 on something else

Yeah, even if Bryan gets healthy he's just... not the guy. I don't know who the guy is at this point. Cena-Rock was just so far above any main events WWE could put on with their full time roster it's ridiculous. Cena is the only guy who could make a Lesnar title match seem like a huge deal. As much as certain people would hate it, Cena winning the title back from Lesnar at WrestleMania might be the best option. They just haven't done a good enough job of finding Cena's successor and going all in on him and that's the kind of guy who would be needed to make a WrestleMania match against Lesnar for the title a big enough deal.

#1-norm-fan 08-08-2014 04:46 AM

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!?"
