#4 Why is Brock getting the Super Cena treatment?
Brock Lesnar Vs. Samoa Joe is a dream match, whichever wrestling promotion they are working for. Quite rightly, this has been one of the most intriguing rivalries of the new era, and the two men have delivered sufficiently. Joe is the kind of heel we don't see much of anymore in WWE; the self-proclaimed destroyer fears nobody and doesn't run away from any fight put in front of him.
The match last night started off with a lot of promise and soon descended into a typical Brock Lesnar brawl, which is still a welcome breath of fresh air considering how similar everyone's fighting style is these days. The ending, however, left many people scratching their heads. This was no typical ending to a Brock Lesnar feud; it was actually more like something we would expect from Hulk Hogan in the ‘80s or Cena in the ‘00s.

Joe had the upper hand for the majority of the match, looking like a true heel and making Lesnar the de facto babyface. It was right that Joe was made to look strong, but considering this is the first time we have seen Lesnar in the ring since his match with Goldberg at Wrestlemania, it was strange to see him in such a weak position yet again. The Beast has gone from unbeatable to very very vulnerable in the space of one calendar year.
This was perhaps the perfect opportunity to have a non-finish, Whether both men could have counted each other out or incapacitated themselves to the point where they could not continue, it really felt like we didn’t need a winner here at all. The fact that Brock gave Joe an F5 so suddenly to win the match took a lot of the air from the arena, and we are now left with a confused picture of what happens next.
Really, these two should continue to feud until Summerslam. Joe clearly did enough last night to show that he is capable of beating Lesnar, and the fans are still into this as a rivalry. Summerslam needs that big-time attraction match, and these two could be the men to deliver it.
