>>9337439he beat lesnar with a nutshot behind the ref's back and it made him look cheap when the past year-plus had been spent building Seth as the marathon man workhorse of Raw
then brock won mitb a month later and started playing head games with seth
the problem with seth's reign was:
Becky and kofi also won at mania so all the top champs were babyfaces who got over in the chase
"Power duos" work better as a heel: Sasha/Bayley or HHH/Austin - its just not relatable to audiences have two babyfaces be portrayed as winners in athletics and romantics
practically it wasn't booked as a "power couple" but "becky and her boyfriend" the week to week focus was still on Becky so Seth looked like an also-ran
