Brock Lesnar And Paul Heyman Return

Daniel Bryan may not be in the title chase, but someone who made his return on Raw this week is. Brock Lensar returned with Paul Heyman and expressed his interest in facing whomever wins the title match between Randy Orton and John Cena. That is great. That is definitely a big way to create hype.

Where does this leave the title match between Orton and Cena? It was a dry match. It still is pretty much a dry match. But having Lesnar hovering around makes things more interesting. But does this decide the winner? Brock Lesnar is a heel, so it pretty much makes sense that John Cena, the face in the title match, would win. But such a short title reign for Orton? You would be left wondering why they didn't even bother just booking Cena to win in the first place. Besides the issue of who is heel and who is face, which potential match has the most hype to it? Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship? Or Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship? Which is the WWE likely to go with? I would rather see Orton face Lesnar just for the sake of doing something different, since Cena already faced Brock when he came back in recent years. But a match with Cena probably would have more hype to it.

There is only one negative thing to all this. This is yet another example of the WWE relying on a star they made a decade ago to deliver for them now. If Sheamus was the guy that came back on Raw this week and challenged the winner of Cena vs. Orton, would that have made a big impact? Nope. They used The Rock chasing after the title to create hype. Now they are doing it with Lesnar. Will Shawn Michaels or Steve Austin be doing this in a few years? Or will the WWE do a better job of creating stars with the current roster?
