2. Rollins’ Promo Not Clicking

Wait, so Brock Lesnar is a Seth Rollins wannabe?

What?

We’ve heard some clunkers of lines before, but this one fell completely flat. During Miz TV, Rollins talked about how people would love to be Brock, but rather than being a Lesnar wannabe, Seth felt like the opposite was true. And with that, the promo fell apart.

Thankfully, Paul Heyman saved it from going completely off the rails by verbally sparring with Rollins, leading to Seth chasing him off, but this was just a head-scratcher of a promo. And when you consider that Lesnar might only be around one more time before SummerSlam, it’s up to Rollins to carry this feud (with Paul E. to help). If this was his best shot, then they need to get back to the drawing board, stat.

Sorry, no buys for this promo.
