It does though. Lesnar still has this mystique about him. People will tune into ppv's to see Lesnar kill people because he can do it in so many ways that you want to see how he does it.. We knew Ryback was going to destroy those jobbers when he debuted but people ate it up. We knew Goldberg was going to beat Jerry Flynn 100 times but his segments were the higheest drawing on Nitro. We knew Hogan was going to win every match but he was still selling arenas with the likes of Kamala.

On the other end you build a face to go up against Lesnar down the road by beating established heels like Kane, Orton, people like that. That's when you have him confront Lesnar at the end of a ppv with a face to face confrontation. Lesnar fucking kills him and leaves him nearly dead.

During this whole thing I'd have Rollins tease some cash ins or make some appearences with the briefcase just to add some unpredictability. There's really a wide variety of ways. Rollins could turn face down the line and catch fire with the added stipulations that he has the briefcase.
