>>16995439I wonder when we are going to see a squash match of this type ever again, at this point, Brock had just ended the streak a few months ago at WM, and Cena's days as the full time top guy was finally running its course as he was starting to transition to his acting career, he wasn't even supposed to be the champion anymore, he was just the guy they needed to stick the belt to until SS because Bryan got injured
So we got Brock Lesnar who has already been long established as one of the toughest mfs ever, both in and out of kayfabe, he is probably the most powerfully booked wrestler ever since Hogan in the 80's, and someone like Cena, who no longer needs nor was interested in being the face of the company anymore, agreed to make Brock super strong.
One interesting factoid is that Roman Reigns was originally supposed to be booked to win over Lesnar at WM31, but the Rollins cash in was decided literally at the day of the event
