7 Ups And 5 Downs From WWE Roadblock

5. Suplex City Returns

Putting aside the Bray Wyatt foolishness, Brock Lesnar once again delivered a hellacious beating that felt more like a special attraction than a match.

Lesnar absorbed multiple superkicks and a discus clothesline from Luke Harper, only to issue seven German suplexes and a vicious F-5 to win the supposed handicap match. It was exactly the kind of beating that fans have come to know and love on these WWE Network special events. Brock did the same thing to Kofi Kingston at Beast in the East and to Big Show at Madison Square Garden.

Sure, none of this seemingly had any consequence for WrestleMania (even with Bray walking out of the match), but it was an entertaining bout. From that perspective, it was a modest success.
