5 things WWE got right this week (Jun 10-11)

#5 Bought us time before Lesnar cashes in

Paul Heyman grants us a stay of execution

Brock Lesnar has loomed ominously over WWE's main event scene for the last five years. His Money in the Bank win was transparently a short-sighted attempt to build excitement for a single Saudi Arabia show, sacrificing the opportunity to create a new star.

I don't think I'm alone in saying I don't want to see Lesnar anywhere near a world championship anytime soon. My irritation at WWE constantly announcing he was going to cash-in and not delivering was far outweighed by my relief that he was not holding a title hostage once again.

Short of WWE having Lesnar lose the contract to someone else, it is inevitable that he will once again be world champion. However, this week, Paul Heyman gave us a glimmer of hope that, in the short term, we are safe from that reality.

By announcing that Lesnar will now cash-in as a surprise Heyman bought us some time, likely at least until Summerslam. Brock Lesnar rarely gets out of bed for anything less prestigious than a 'big 5' show, unless Saudi money is involved.

WIth the next Saudi show not till the end of the year that leaves Summerslam as the next likely cash-in opportunity, with WWE wanting the big moment saved for a big stage.

This means we have about 2 months before we once again hold our breath and hope WWE doesn't pull the trigger on another 18 month Lesnar reign. Now we must savor the time we have left and enjoy seeing the world championships on our TV screens, because they may not be around much longer.
