WWE Raw: 5 things Vince McMahon could be planning for Brock Lesnar next week
WrestleMania is less than two weeks away, but the visual extravaganza is looking a little colorless. Two of the biggest WWE Superstars – Batista and Brock Lesnar – were absent in this week’s Raw. Although WWE had already announced Lesnar’s return for next week, Batista’s status is still unknown.
Since the Royal Rumble match, WWE has decreased focus on the rivalry between The Architect and The Beast. Both are one of the biggest names in the wrestling industry, but still, the crowd isn't charged up for their match. But, as per WWE, one week is enough to excite the fans about this upcoming bout.
Next week’s Raw is also going to be the go-home show for WrestleMania, which alone makes us believe that something significant is going to happen.
This week, Paul Heyman and Rollins got into a war of words which didn’t serve any sort of build-up to the rivalry. Since there is only a single episode of Raw remaining before WrestleMania, the creative team has to do all the build-up work in just one day. In this article, we are going to look at five big things Vince McMahon may have planned for The Beast next week.
#5 Paul Heyman lectures Seth Rollins more
You are probably tired of hearing Paul Heyman again and again. Yes, I agree that he is a consummate talker and a manager, but by no means should this rivalry should be limited to just mouthing.
Rollins is the 2019 Royal Rumble match winner, and he and Lesnar are going to slug it out for the Universal Championship. However, due to the women’s main event match at WrestleMania, fans are not talking much about this feud.
Well, we should also credit that fact to Brock Lesnar for rarely showing up on Raw, but he's not the only one at fault. WWE also needs to pay attention to other things and act accordingly.
A Paul Heyman promo is worth listening, but even the professional talker cannot carry this rivalry alone. WWE have one last chance to promote this rivalry, and I believe that things need to get on a physical level. Unfortunately, Heyman might just end up lecturing Rollins like this week.
