At least Cena didn't bleed, piss or puke

[Mustang Sally]

But it was still a disappointing main event. I figured the company was dying to give Brock the world title but hoped that Cena would defend it with a noble effort. Brock was so dominating that I was thinking Cena might turn the tables in the end....because, what's the sense of John Cena being controlled like that? WWE Creative had better have something great in mind, in view of this development.

Still, all the down time in the match left me cold; Brock spent so much time standing and gloating when he could have been applying more punishment that the whole thing became tedious after about 10 minutes.

Okay, so it's now all about the game plan with Brock as champion. Is he actually going to be around more than before......or is Paul Heyman going to have to do triple duty to keep Brock in our minds and make us forget that he's still just a 3-appearance/year mercenary?

At any rate, I wouldn't be looking forward to a world title defense at next month's PPV.

Disappointed in this one.

 

[V Dogg]

Well, the outcome I wanted (and I'm sure many of the IWC wanted) has happened. Finally, the WWE makes the right booking decision and puts the straps on Lesnar.

 

[Sedated]

Disappointed?

The match didn't need that much down time, I'll give you that.

But beyond that? Only a Cena mark could be disappointed with that out come. WWE booked them selves into a corner with Lesnar ending the streak. Lesnar needed to win the belt now, and he needed to do it in a convincing fashion. Both of those goals were accomplished tonight.

You ask what the point is? You really don't understand the point that Lesnar ended the streak and now Lesnar decimated Cena? Lesnar is their biggest draw and this will likely end in a huge match between Reigns and Lesnar at some point.

How are you not getting this?

 

[hatehabsforever]

I'm not overly concerned about the outcome, but I do think that Brock Lesnar looked too dominant in the matchup. Because frankly, after such total annihilation of someone of Cena's stature, I think it will be fairly implausible to think that he could ever be beaten by someone such as a returning Daniel Bryan. After all, you can only stretch kayfabe so far.

The result of this match didn't really surprise me all that much. And it should be interesting to see where they go from here. Does he appear more often on television now that he is the champ (which I doubt)? Does he defend against Cena at Night of Champions, and at all other subsequent PPV's as long as he is the top dog? Does he hold the title all the way to WM31? Or will he revert the scene back to the old days, where the champ isn't always around, and seeing the champ on TV is a big deal? And who in the current WWE could be seen as a plausible threat to stop the beast incarnate? Because frankly, I don't see anyone.

Who knows, maybe Cena suffered enough head trauma by being on the receiving end of about 20 German duplexes that he's no longer himself, spurring the ever anticipated heel turn?

 

[No Count Pup]

This was more shocking than Lesnar vs. Undertaker.

The streak ending was dramatic. But seeing Cena decimated? The beating was so thorough and the victory so convincing, I don't think fans can see Cena the same way.

Lesnar beating Taker changed the WrestleMania landscape. Lesnar's win over Cena changed the WWE landscape.

 

[Bookerkingston]

I cringed so many times, I swear I thought sooner or later he was gonna dump Cena right on his neck and break it.

 

[Creepy Old Man]

I sense Cena changing. His era of dominance is ending.

Agreed.

The payoff to this will be seen provided Brock is going keep the title until Mania.

As for Cena, I hope he too can have a character tweak after the way he was decimated tonight. That can only help the show be even better.

I think this is the other point of this though.

Cena's stock has been fading for a loooong time now. He's been in upper mid card feuds the majority of the time for the last few years, this latest title run he was doing nothing but keeping the belts warm and cozy for Lesnar. Most people knew this, if you didn't know this? You should have. WWE have been to the point where there's nothing else to be done with Cena as champion for a LONG time... and then would make him champion anyway.

Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Daniel Bryan, Bray Wyatt..WWE is finally starting to show signs of having a roster and fresh stars. Cena is either going to continue to be relegated to upper mid card feuds (Cena vs Cessaro, Cena vs Rusev, things like that) or finally change his character up.

In his current gimmick Cena will NEVER be the -face- of the company again. He might win the title for a couple months, he might feud for the belt, but he will never again be the face...basically how Randy Orton has been booked the majority of his career.

Roman Reigns will be the new face. Daniel Bryan, Wyatt, and (hopefully) Cesaro will be his supporting cast.

*edit*

It's ironic almost; WWE is finally using booking that makes sense..and this is whats surprising people

*edit x2*

Somehow I almost forgot about Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose... they'll both be playing big roles in WWE as well.

 

[The Holy One]

As an admitted "Cena mark", I guess, I wasn't disappointed with the way the match went. I was more shocked than anything much like almost every one else was whose name isn't Paul Heyman or Brock Lesnar. I look forward to Cena returning with this loss taking his character on a different route (not a heel turn, anything but that).

 

[The Butcher]

Hopefully WWE realized that while the Lil' Jimmies can convince mom and dad to get them a t-shirt when the big top comes to town, that whole other demographic they've ignored is the only one that's going to shell out for a wrestling Netflix. Frankly this was kinda cathartic for me. After the bell rang, I saw the Jedi ghosts of Rey Mysterio's WWE title reign, The Nexus, Hall of Pain Mark Henry, and heel R-Truth smiling and nodding at ringside. Far from disappointed, and be it Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, or Kevin Steen that beats Lesnar, I'll suspend my disbelief and just be glad it's not Cena or Orton. Please God don't let it be Cena or Orton.

 

[SinCityBlitz]

I loved the main event. It is a great way to get Brock over as a monster more and also gives the guy who beats him a MAJOR rub. Now if he drops it to Cena again I will change my mind but this is a chance for them to really get one of the young guys over.

The big question I have is what happens to Rollins? I don't see Rollins cashing in and beating Brock.

$10 says we hear a "Blood Urine Vomit" chant tomorrow night on Raw.

My Fantasy Scenario:

Brock defeats his challenger at NoC. Defends at Survivor Series/TLC. Defends at Royal Rumble.

Faces Roman Reigns at WM31, and smashes Reigns but loses narrowly.

Seth Rollins cashes in at WM31 itself to pin the battered Roman Reigns or he cashes in on the RAW post-Mania.

Cheers.

 

[Arcadia]

As much as I wanted Brock to win, which was a lot, I just wish Cena had a bit more fight left in him towards the end. The final count was, what, 16 suplexes? That just seems a little.. Much. Do we have any word if Cena has any major injuries yet? If it's bad enough, he might not recover in time for NOC.

Either way I just hope he comes back a different Cena than who he left as.

I would definitely be down with something like that. You can get both guys over with one match. This is something that they need to do. I just don't want them to waste this opportunity.

 

[Kodo Sawaki]

Well to me would be kind of weak of Brock if he would lost to Cena twice. Even that first defeat looked weak from Brock because that year Cena almost lost every PPV possible but beated Brock at Extreme Rules. But that was year when Brock was just returning and they didnt planed anything that big like giving Championship belt to him. Now after he ended "The Streak" its kinda logical to book him this strong. One thing is for certain, I am interested where they are going with this. Is Cena even going to get rematch or just maybe leave? Is Cena gona overcome the odds again and beat Brock somehow? Is the new chalenger coming so he can take the rub from the guy who ended "The Streak" and was so dominant over companys No1 guy? If Cena won we wouldnt get that so its kinda nice that WWE has gone little different this time. If nothing else at least we are getting something interesting.

 

[L@RISANO]

Also, Brock Lesnar's current contract is expected to last until WM31. So, I feel that the WWE will milk his current push until then, or at least it is only logical that such a direction is taken.

http://fansided.com/2014/01/30/brock-lesnar-re-signs-wwe-wrestlemania-31/#!bFpTSS

So My Fantasy becoming reality would be brilliant as it would help get over Reigns and Rollins, whilst Brock could well be leaving the company by then based on his current contract.

 

[Merkin353]

I loved every second of the main event. Lesnar turning the first half of the match into an I Quit match was fun. They set it up like Cena was going to make a comeback & it never happened. Pulling the rug out from underneath us again. I hope the WWE can keep up the booking of Lesnar but I doubt we can be shocked for a 3rd time.

& to all those who thought it was boring. Of course it was boring. Taker V Lesnar was boring. That's the point. Slow & steady wins the race & why would a man that works 25 days a year for millions of dollars do more than he has too. From his real life to his persona it just makes sense for him to do a few powerful moves & punches. In comparison, this reminds me of Seattle V Denver superbowl earlier this year. If you say you're a fan of the Seahawks than you know that game was amazing. If you're a fan of football than you probably thought it was boring. Those of us who like Lesnar (Or hate Cena, it's really the same thing here) thought the match was amazing. Those who just wanted to see a wrestling match, probably thought it was boring...

Eh, to me having a submission like the Yes lock evens the playing field. Bryan can get his ass kicked, and slap that hold on out of nowhere and win.....and it wouldn't feel wrong.

That's the beauty of a technically strong wrestler with submission holds.....they can beat a stronger guy.

 

[LBGetBack]

To me, I'm glad they are finally booking Brock like this.

Him coming in and losing his first match to Cena was ridiculous. And then losing a match to HHH(he won the feud but still)....c'mon.

With Brock's stature both from his first WWE run and his UFC run.....he should be dominating! He should basically never lose, so that the one time he does it's huge news. He's got credibility as a legit badass with real wrestling and fighting skills, they're paying him a ton of money, and he's a huge name...he should be champ and he should be champ for a long freakin time! I'm all onboard!

And I couldn't care less if he never shows up on Raw and Heyman just goes out there and runs his mouth in place of Brock all the time! All the better. Mix it up a little. This is something different for once! No more cookie cutter! Just enjoy it while it lasts!

As Nikki turned heel .. Don't u see Cena can also do the same. It would be awesome to see cena turn heel and make some faction say Chain Gang like when Hogan was in NWO.

After the performance Reigns put on tonight, I don't see him winning the title even at Mania. It's pretty clear that Orton carried that whole match, and I can't see Lesnar doing that on the grand stage that is Wrestlemania.

Reigns needs a lot more experience under his belt before he meets Lesnar. And that leaves basically no one to challenge Lesnar if Reigns is the next big thing. The next few months will be interesting to say the least on what they do with both the titles and Reigns's push.

 

[kadroan]

I enjoyed the match. It lived up to the hype and I loved how they started the match with a F5 to set the tone.

Honestly, I think Brock's title reign is a quick fix to get subscribers to renew, just like how The Rock's title reign in 2013 was just for the WWE to try to beat the WM28 record.

It wouldn't surprise me if the beating brings out a different monster in Cena and they replicate their match from Extreme Rules 2012 but Brock destroys him after the match and Rollins cashes in.
