The Paul Heyman promo segment before last night's Main Event on RAW was brilliantly improvised after he did something similar last week on the Fast Lane-fallout RAW show.
However, I made a point in another thread saying that regardless of what happens between Reigns and Heyman, the Main Event build absolutely Needed a Brock Lesnar appearance to give it some much needed hype, after all, "It takes 2 to Tango".
Last night, many praised Heyman for the promo he did, but I couldn't help but feel empty at the end of it, regardless of its obvious quality.
At the end of the day, the Main Event is between two guys who are not Mic Wizards by any stretch of the imagination, and are much more at home brawling and standing face to face in a more "legit" style, and unfortunately the Main Event sorely lacks that important aspect of the 2 going at it physically.

, there is a grading system for each storyline's progress(All storylines start at an "E" Grade), and I'd say that since Fast Lane, this Main Event build involving the two Main Guys in Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns with Paul Heyman as a support character, is being propped up at a meagre "D+" Rating at this point, and I'll have to say, that even though I was amongst those supporting a Brock-Roman match-up, I can't really see this ending any higher than a "B+"(which would only happen if they manage a 5* match).
