Roman Reigns complains about Brock Lesnar no-showing again

#1 Brock Lesnar appears via satellite

Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal Title at WrestleMania

There’s no way they actually have Brock in the arena next week. WWE doesn’t seem to care about advertising something that they know isn’t going to happen, so they’re going to do it again. It would make sense for Lesnar to appear live with Roman suspended and thus not in the arena, but I think to really try to get people angry at Brock, they should have him pull the old “live via satellite” that Cena used to call out The Rock for doing so often.

Vince gave his word that Brock would be on RAW. I don’t recall the exact wording, but he didn’t say that Brock would be in the arena or in the ring, just that he would be on RAW. That technically counts.

I’m not sure what Roman would do in this situation. Will his suspension stand for next week’s show or was it only for this week? I would keep him off of RAW so that he has some more ammunition to throw at Brock on the following week’s show, in which Brock again doesn’t show up, leaving them to meet face-to-face only 6 days before WrestleMania. If this is the story they’re telling, it’s the best way to tell it.

It isn’t going to get the fans behind Roman and against Brock, but that’s the story they’re going for and there’s no way to stop it.
