As you can see from my post on the live comment page I am really annoyed with the finish to the main event, my main problem isn't the match I thought it was exciting and I was intrigued to see how much offense Cena got in and also how well Brock sold it and then came back himself. My problem is that due to Rollins coming out Cena has the 'the match was won, the STF was locked in Brock was going to tap' card to play, he looks like SuperCena again and Brock does look a liitle weaker because of it (kindda ruins how strong he has been built up this year). My other bug bear is that it was a chance to change Cena's character without turning him heel, but they wasted it. Imagine if Cena actually tapped out or even looked close to it (at least Lesnar teased he might tap, Cena never did). Cena would have to face the fact the 'never give up' and 'hustle loyalty and respect' didn't work for the first time ever. How would he react to that? What would he do instead? It could have made the for great TV. Now we will get week after week of Cena saying he should be champ as match was won he proved that he doesn't need to change to defeat the beast and it will lead to Lesnar Cena at Hell in a Cell, the forth encounter since 2012, almost half Lesnar's matches since his return will have been against Cena, what a waste of Lesnar, everytime they face each other it gets a little less box office. I just think this was a massive opportunity wasted to not only enhance Lesnar's monster personna thus adding more kudos to whoever eventually defeats him, but to also change Cena's stale boring repetative persona. Really tempted to stop watching for a while until creative actually get creative, sorry for the long post.

The WWE have got themselves in a bit of a mess with Lesnar. They built him up as the unstoppable beast - the man who ended the streak, the man who destroyed Cena. The WWE needed a genuine monster and they finally got one in Lesnar.
BUT. Vince believes in Cena. He thinks Cena carries the weight on the WWE on his shoulders and believes he is one of the all time greats. I also think Cena believes this too.
So he brings out past greats to discuss Cena in the ring and on camera and to agree with Vince.
So we have Lesnar as the unstoppable monster and Cena as the hope of the Universe.
The trouble with Cena is that the same old rubbish comes again and again. He loses to someone like Lesnar or the Rock and on the next RAW he addresses the crowd after he has time to collect his thoughts.
Yes he deserved to lose, yes he knows that a part of the crowd are pleased with this, yes he has faced his demons, yes he will come back even stronger, yes he will redeem himself.
Sure enough a superman performance to enhance his image follows.
The same thing happens when he is injured. Cue the montage - clips of surgery, clips of gentle training, clips of harder training usually involving medicine balls, clips of the surgeon saying he cannot believe how quickly he is returning. A triumphant return in the ring soon followed by yet another world championship, usually at the cost of some poor sap who has been carrying the load in Cena's absence or by Cena crashing a promising feud.
Personally, I don't think Lesnar will be at Hell in a Cell but will return at Survivor Series. Will Cena be the number one contender? He has lost his automatic rematch clause so I dare say he will be in a final eliminator with Orton and possibly Rollins and Reigns at Hell in a Cell. I will be rooting for anyone except Cena in this match, but I fear that I will be disappointed and we will have another Cena/Lesnar match.
Please let's have some originality instead.

I hope the run in ending will lead to a deciding Hell in a Cell match between the two, and I hope its as brutal as Summerslam.

I don't want to watch another match with Cena and Lesnar. I fact I don't want to ever watch Cena again. Every time I see him I switch over the tv. i'm shuddering at the thought of rollins having a program with him. You'd think after years and years of putting the STF on without putting any pressure on his foe he would at least do it properly on Lesnar! The guy is a joke
