#3 The match quality wasn't going to be extraordinary

It's been a while since Brock Lesnar has really gone 50-50 with his opponents, truth be told. He had a great match with Finn Balor but there's almost always a formula to Brock Lesnar matches.

Which does not mean that Brock Lesnar matches are necessarily bad, but once you've seen one match, you've pretty much seen them all. It is like an AC/DC album or Motorhead album, which is solid, familiar and at the same time, entertaining in its own right.

It would be a disservice to the other matches in the card to have a match of this nature go on last when the other men and women would be putting in their all to put together a back and forth contest. The match eventually turned out to be what it was, a squash contest that turned around with a low blow.

Nobody's giving this match five stars.
