10 Ways WWE Can Make Network-Aired House Shows More Special
2. Big Draws Doing Bigger Things
How were Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins on the same WWE program -- a program built around Brock Lesnar's return -- and there was no interaction between Rollins and the man with whom he has a significant history, Brock Lesnar. If there's a money match in WWE, it's Lesnar versus the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins. If anything, there needed to be an in-ring moment where Lesnar confronted Rollins and said, "after I get done with 'taker, I want MY belt back." In fact, it should've been the secret ulterior motive of the whole broadcast. In all reality, every time Lesnar returns, there should be some mention to the fact that Brock Lesnar could at any point harm Seth Rollins and get back his championship. It's very clear that WWE's top draw is Brock Lesnar. However, the less Lesnar behaves in a manner consistent with being the company's #1 guy, the more WWE actually shoots themselves in the foot by creating a company where their talent creatively feel like they're not doing the thing that they should actually be trying to do.
