I was actually kind of pumped for Lesnar/Reigns at WM after last weeks snowed in Raw. Though initially I thought Bryan/Brock was the best match to headline WM, the band aid booking seems cheap to me.

Although the way you put that, it sounds as if Bryan isnt as over as he once was, which isnt even remotely true... but aside from that, it's spot on.
It seems like they're trying to change gears after incorrectly assuming force-feeding the fans Reigns was going to get over like gangbusters as go "this was our plan the entire time!" like the corrective measure they took with Bryan last year. They could have played up Bryan's claim of never losing the title since he got back from his injuries, instead of making it an afterthought that seems more shoehorned into making the Reigns backlash go away.
Honestly, I hope the endgame is a fatal 4 way. That way, even if Roman ultimately goes over (at first...), Lesnar being built to be nigh - unbeatable getting knocked off his throne by 3 people makes him still a badass, gives Bryan the opportunity to lose without looking like a chump, for Reigns to be semi-legitimized, and Seth to cash in after the match he just had and a sneak attack on a celebrating champ to get his Edge-like MITB cash in opportunity/mania moment.
That, or i would still like to see the possibility of a "match within a match" where Seth brings his own ref, cashes in while Brock is busy with another opponent, and gets the pinfall on the champ with his own ref to win the title, making it both memorable and controversial in a spectacularly heelish manner.
I guess what i'm saying is I would like to see Rollins walk out of Wrestlemania as champion. You'd have two faces to chase him in Bryan and Reigns, and with that time, they can make RR more credible making up for the time lost from last year's rocket push.
Also, Orton needs to factor in so ehow, but I already just did more fantasy booking than I intended to.
