MVP Brock Lesnar

It looks like we’re going to get WWE’s modern-day equivalent of the Irresistible Force meeting the Immovable Object at WrestleMania 39.

Brock Lesnar asked MVP to hype and sell him on the pitched match pitting the Beast against Omos, and he went for it. And frankly, Porter did a hell of a job selling fans on a match they probably didn’t realize they’d want… until they either saw or at least visualized them in a ring together.

MVP pointed out how Lesnar can demolish any man in front of him, but Omos isn’t a man; he’s a giant. And if Brock puts his hands on a giant, that giant will put his hands back on Lesnar. He also put the thought in everyone’s head that there’s no way Brock can suplex or F-5 Omos, which now gives us the big mountain for the Beast to climb and the big pop moment at Mania.

Sure enough, Brock held to his “no suplexes” promise and merely delivered an F-5 to MVP after the manager accidentally and tragically spit Lesnar’s “white lightning” spirit in his face. But the match is on, so get ready for the trainwreck!
