Fantasy Booking Triple H's FIRST WWE WrestleMania

2. What Does Brock Lesnar Do?

This is very interesting because it's difficult to book Brock Lesnar outside of the title picture.

The second chapter of his WWE career worked so well (when Lesnar wasn't booked as a meta taunt) because, further legitimised by an incredible UFC run, he only existed as a prizefighter. The dispassionate killing machine only gave a sh*t about money, and the most efficient means of making money was gunning for the belt. He added a realistic sporting dimension to a wacky, bullsh*t product.

The thing is, his jolly farming psycho babyface character doesn't really lend itself to a grudge programme either. He laughs things off and only really f*cks people up for sport, not because he really feels passionately and gives a sh*t. He doesn't show that which is crucial to tell a story beyond the title picture: emotion.

So what does he do when he can't possibly work Roman Reigns?

Surely?

He has marvellous chemistry with Sami Zayn. What if they work a programme premised on the idea that Zayn, the hilarious coward, finally gets obliterated? Only for Zayn to rediscover something within himself and slowly turn throughout a match that evolves into the incredible David Vs. Goliath Lesnar special?

Leave the emoting to Sami, and then push him as a babyface in a development that really should have happened on the main roster by now.
