5. Seth Stomps For Retribution

The Brock Lesnar/Seth Rollins “feud” has almost been mailed in, ever since the post-Royal Rumble Raw when Brock hit Seth with six F-5s.

Since then, both men have barely been seen together, with Rollins forced to jaw with advocate Paul Heyman instead. There’s only so much back-and-forth you can do in that situation when there isn’t really any history between the two (at least Roman Reigns had years of battles against Brock) and still be effective.

Also, Rollins won the Rumble, but was immediately humbled by Lesnar. He needed to get some retribution to rebalance the scales. He’s already the underdog in this match and didn’t need to be beaten down once again.

Still, this feud has been lackluster at best, which helps explain why it’s not closing WrestleMania.
