Lesnar v Reigns and it mentioned Lesnar defeating Cena at SS.
I can't imagine that's utterly finalised yet - more like Yahoo is making an educated guess.
Yeah, I...I don't understand why that would bend you outta shape? There's no way Yahoo has inside information.

is crazy. Sometimes he changes his mind on the fly. No way this is for sure yet.
I could see Rollins having a falling out with the authority and turning face and cashing in on Brock. Not soon but maybe a few months from now. I'm loving the Ambrose/Rollins feud. The storytelling has just been great.

I've read that Vince wants Rock/Brock at Mania and HHH wants Reigns/Brock, and they are fighting over it.

WrestleMania rumours this far out are almost always completely off. I don't think Rock's going to be easily available, and it's unlikely they'll go with two part-timers as their main event. But they're going to need to do a lot of work with Reigns to get him ready to be the one to beat Brock.

Reigns isnt anywhere near ready, I'm not convinced he's main event material yet. He has yet to have a good singles match.

I could see that.
They only have 1-2 more big paydays with Rock so I'd prefer Brock v Rock. I think Reigns has the potential to be really good but not yet.

Rock/Brock would be a terrible match.

I don't disagree with that. Vincent doesn't care if the matches are good I don't think. He wants to make money and Brock v Rock would do just that. If he cared more about match quality Punk and Bryan would have main evented a Mania.
That being said Brock v Rock at Summerslam in 2002 was really good. No way they would duplicate that now.

The promising young guys from WrestleMania haven't really come to fruition. They built Reigns as best they could (with his Survivor Series and Rumble performances), but he's stalled. Bray needs a shake up (a new member of the Wyatt Family, or a face turn? Bo Dallas is his real-life brother, and with slight tweaking, his character would fit quite well in the family). Cesaro has been shunted off into the midcard. Bryan is out. The only ones making good are Rollins and Ambrose - and the real test for them is when they're inevitably split and move on to separate singles feuds.
And if they keep the belt on Brock till WrestleMania, that leaves them with a real dilemma in terms of his opponent. If they go with Rock, they're essentially giving up on making new stars, especially after they managed to finally pull the trigger with Bryan. If Bryan is fit for 'Mania, nobody's going to buy him beating Brock.

They ruined Wyatt by having Cena go over him in that feud. Some of the worst booking I've seen in a while. Wyatt needed that win and his character and momentum have suffered greatly since, his feud with Jericho has been a complete dud.

Rock and Brock are both guys, who at this stage of their careers, need to be in the ring with someone who can call the match and carry them. Putting them together would be a disaster. Both of their best matches since returning have been with Punk, who could carry the match. I'd only do Rock/Lesnar if it wasn't the main event. I just hate when a show like Wrestlemania closes with a bad match.

Brock/Rock has been confidently predicted for 'Mania since Lesnar came back, and it still hasn't happened. You'd have to hope that the Bryan fiasco has made the WWE open its eyes to long term booking - Cena surely only has a year or two full-time left and needs to settle into the new talent building portion of his career. They'll need somebody to take his place.
I think Batista might be next to get fed to Brock. Reigns/Bryan/Ambrose/Cena could all be in the running to take on Brock at 'Mania.

I don't know about ruined Wyatt but I agree he should have gone over and his character has suffered. Which is a shame because I really like Wyatt.

Finished watching the show from last night. Orton/Reigns had a really well done finish and build to the finish, but it was a complete snoozefest until then. Lesnar/Cena was so fucking awesome, I'm actually pretty surprised that Cena allowed that match to go down like that. It will probably just lead to Cena winning next month because he NEVER GIVES UP, but it was still worth getting to see that annihilation. As for the rest of the show, the opening match was pretty good, pumped to see Ziggler finally get something. Paige keeps getting better and better in the ring(not to mention that shes a total smokeshow,) and her and AJ continue to put on better matches than Rusev and whoever he's facing could. Ambrose/Rollins was very good as expected, hopefully it leads to a real classic match down the road.
