Lesnar/Rollins Gets Spoiled

Cena/Owens was not the only match at Battleground to end in a manner that many fans did not like. Brock Lesnar was destroying Seth Rollins and closing in on the title. And then The Undertaker came back. The match suddenly did not seem important anymore. Taker/Lesnar is more important than anything else heading into Summerslam.

One possible issue was how the WWE would pull this off without making The Undertaker look like a heel. He waited over a year for revenge? He's mad he lost cleanly? He's going to help Seth Rollins, a heel, retain the title? It all sounds like the making of a heel turn. Of course, The Undertaker is a legend and won't get booed easily these days. Regardless, it might matter to some wrestling fans that spend hours contemplating this stuff. The Undertaker showed up on Raw to say his piece. It seems he was fine with the loss, but annoyed with how Brock/Heyman kept bringing it up. I think you can buy that. The WWE could have done a better job building up to that, but it is a reason for Taker to want to face Lesnar again.

But what if they had Lesnar win the title from Rollins, THEN Taker came out to ruin his moment? That sets the match up at Summerslam to be for the title. Would it be nice for The Undertaker to get one last title run before he retires? It would not have to last long. Just have Sheamus cash in the night after or have Taker drop it at Night of Champions. Thing is, Taker/Lesnar does not need the title for it to be the main event of Summerslam. Think back to when The Undertaker and Edge faced each other at Summerslam 2008. No title on the line. But it was still a bigger match than Triple H vs. The Great Khali for the World Championship. The WWE can build a stacked card by having this be a non-title match and having another match that is for the WWE Championship.

How about the guy who is still holding the WWE Championship? So much for all that talk about whether the coal will turn into a diamond. If that was still relevant, Seth Rollins definitely failed. He was an afterthought at the end of the night on Sunday. He does not look good. And it seems the WWE is running with that.

Enter John Cena. He put himself over at the expense of Seth Rollins. While the top Champion is getting cheap wins, a midcard Champion is stealing the show. Seth Rollins vs. John Cena would be great for Summerslam. It really seems like they are stacking this Summerslam to be Wrestlemania-like.
