If he’s only contracted to appear a minimum of two times a month, it could definitely make the buildup to a match at SummerSlam huge between those two. Lesnar vs. Cena at SummerSlam is the right move. |

They've already booked Rock over Cena. Lesnar's already beaten Rock. It'd be both redundant and backwards at the same time. People want to see Brock Lesnar eat Cena's head. It isn't the big match. It's the obligatory match. I am still beyond confused at how people consider Cena to be "the man" right now, when they are clearly shitting all over him because it's what the fans want. There isn't anywhere else to go with the guy. I think people should pull their heads out of their asses and realize just where John Cena is right now. |

Brock vs. The Undertaker is the "big match," imo. Cena is a stepping stone for Lesnar. I really think Cena needs some time off. It would be smart for both him and the WWE.
Originally I wanted Brock to go over The Rock and then lose to Cena. But it doesn't make sense anymore, not with the way they've played this thing out, and not as it becomes more and more clear that Cena is just roadkill at this point. |

I should have probably noted the time of that post. No offense, don't think your head is in your ass. I just think my head is in everyone else's ass but John Cena's.

Its gonna have to be match where loser doesn't look bad when losing, so it probably wont be a Last Man standing, I quit, Ironman, etc. I am guessing a tables match, First blood, or Cage (someone climbs out). That way the person losing doesn't look too weak.

MMA Rules would be stupid and insulting to the WWE fans and John Cena would look like shit. First Blood is the way to go since Cena can get busted open in a way that makes Brock look like a beast and Cena doesn't look weak (especially if they keep fighting and Cena is a bloody mess trying to whoop Lesnar's ass after the match).

Dont think we will see any intentional blood. A straight wrestling match will do just fine. Brock should and likey will win. My question is will they book him as an equal to Cena or will Brock destroy him in 10 to 12 minutes. Im thinking Lesnar needs to look absolutely unstoppable here.

Excellent idea, James. Brock definately needs to come off as a monster.
And for those suggesting MMA rules or styled match...i distincly recall the not so positive reviews on the board when Angle and Samoa Joe tried. Adding certain elements to the match inspired by MMA will always work in the right context, but an "MMA style" match wont, imo. |

What appeal is there to an "MMA Rules Match"? MMA Rules won't attract MMA fans as much as insult them and it won't help attract wrestling fans because they watch wrestling and not MMA.

Within two weeks, this feud is way better than Cena and Rock was. They actually have them physically involved instead of making jokes about each other, and everyone was holding them back.

"That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar. And he split. Just like I'm splitting, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is, I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship!"

A problem with the match is, quite frankly, it probably won't be good. The Chicago crowd will help it because of its hatred for Cena, but the quality isn't going to be where it needs to be for Lesnar's first match back.
Adding a stipulation would hide the limitations that Lesnar has in the ring, as well as give him a forum to show the crowd how dangerous he can be. |

I’ve been running different scenarios through my mind ever since this match was announced on RAW. Brock Lesnar should win.
What could John Cena gain from this? Losing to The Rock and then the former UFC Heavyweight Champion back to back doesn’t mean he’s being buried, because he’s not, so Lesnar should go over, otherwise the audience who don’t know Lesnar will think he’s easy to beat. The thing to do is have Lesnar beat Cena, leading him to question his identity as the greatest in the company. This crisis would eventually lead to Cena desperately trying to beat anyone he could; in his state, midcarders like Dolph Ziggler would trump him, leading him to go to town on a guy like Kofi Kingston, murdering him in the ring just to get a win, then snapping when the crowd turns on him for it. He doesn’t lose credibility. He just loses…it. It’s booking 101. Have the match as a Cage Match. Both guys brawl more, and both get close counts. Cena gets some momentum, and just as he goes to FU Lesnar, it gets countered. Lesnar picks him up and hits an F5 for the three-count. |

No need to make Brock's first match back a gimmick match. He should just beat Cena and beat the fuck out of him, clean. Cena can lose, but he shiuldnt just spiral downward that quick. Losing streaks dont work. Losing to Brock and having Cena begin to doubt himself is a great direction for him, but he shouldnt be jobbed outright. I do not forsee a heel turn. There has been zero evidence that would lead anyone to believe beyond self created speculations that a heel turn for Cena is anywhere down the line.

This is a gimmick match pay-per-view. Personally, I would've waited until SummerSlam for the match.

Steele's idea (dunno if it was this thread or another one) was the best. Have Lesnar destroy Cena, don't even make it close or anything close to being a match. Just an ass kicking. Have Cena take time off, come back around July to build a rematch for Summerslam.

I read something in the RAW Predictions thread that made me think:
Someone suggested that Brock Lesnar "injure" Cena before Extreme Rules. That way, with a kayfabe injury, Brock killing Cena looks completely brutal, but it also gives Cena an "excuse" to get completely dominated. The only thing I would change is perhaps that it's not Lesnar that hurts Cena. Right now, the WWE has a massive boner for Dean Ambrose, seemingly. Well, they should. The kid is young, can work and can fucking talk. He has a unique character that he presents so well, too. Triple H himself has reportedly said that he won't call up Dean Ambrose to the main roster until there's a storyline waiting for him. How about on RAW Cena is cutting a promo about how he's carried this company on his back for seven years while Brock tried his hand at everything else, and now Brock wants to come in and take it all back when it suits him; when all of a sudden, Dean Ambrose hits the ring from the crowd and takes out Cena's knee with a crowbar, or something? As Ambrose is hastily leaving the scene of the crime, he finds a camera and says "Is that the kind of stuff you want, Mick Foley?" It gives Cena an injury heading into his match with Brock, and it debuts Ambrose in a big way and brings his tensions with Mick Foley onto television. |

The only problem i have with Noids idea is that you know Cena will a get a match with Ambrose and ruin any momentum he'd gained by that point. Id maybe just have Brock attack Cena before the match starts,as he's making his entrance just come out with a chair and pummel him for 5 mins before the bells rung. They can put over how Cena still wants his match with Lesnar even after the cheap attack but, like Steele suggested, hes just brutalised to the point where the match is stopped.

I’m worried Lesnar vs. Cena is being given away early in a similar fashion to how Goldberg vs. Rock was given away at Backlash 2003. Lesnar vs. Cena should’ve been saved for SummerSlam, where it can rake in a lot more buys, let Lesnar get into shape by then.
Maybe this leads to a match between Lesnar and Punk at SummerSlam for the WWE Championship. Lesnar would be the man to end Punk’s reign for Johnny. Also, it would be ten years to that event that Lesnar won his first WWE Championship from Rock at SummerSlam 2002. Last edited by Mr. C; 04-24-2012 at 09:40 PM. |

If the $5million figure being thrown about is accurate then why would they waste the money being spent on a guy whose signed a contract for ONE year by holding off for him 'to get into shape'? He's a proven draw and post wrestlemania buy rates usually need a boost so why not make use of a guy youre blowing a fortune on rather than wasting his few matches on wrestling jobbers.

They have to do SOMETHING at Extreme Rules to soften the fall off after WrestleMania which stood to be way worse of a falloff than typical after Cena-Rock. So in that way, they did need to have a bigger than usual match and Cena-Lesnar was pretty much the best option. |
