With No DB for even longer amount of time, does this open things up for BROCK LESNARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR? I'm waiting for him to win the belts to ebay his auto from Series 4 mma. Have it uploaded and drafted literally just waiting for the moment.

I think his injury opens the door to Wyatt and Reigns more than Lesnar. Brock is just going to be a short term fix whereas the other 2 will be the future. I see DB getting the depush that guys like Ziggler and the like got where they are forever stuck in purgatory while other new guys Wyatt, Reigns, etc get the chance he would have gotten.

WWE has signed a new Japanese wrestler that goes by Kenta.

During WWE's July 12 event in Osaka, the promotion officially announced the signing of Kenta during an in-ring segment with Hulk Hogan. Kenta will relocate to Orlando to resume training at the Performance Center, while also working for WWE's developmental territory NXT.

KENTA is a phenomenal wrestler...but I don't see them doing much with him due to his size. A KENTA-Daniel Bryan match/feud would be amazing (in the ring anyway)

WWE is all about short term fixes though, Cena have another belt for about 2-4 months while we figure something new out, DB get's hurt they panic and give it back to John Cena. If they were going to give reigns or Wyatt a push why not the latter match they both were in?

I hope this guy get's a better chance than Yoshi Tatsu. Always nice to guys come over from the far east.

Lesnar would have to negotiate his clause because he only has to make so many appreances.It will be the same as last year a month and a half feud of lesnar/cena with cena winning at summerslam.You heard it here first and seen it about a thousand times

I think Vince went nuts when he lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the WWE stock and he wasn't going to put the belt on relative unknowns so they went back to their security blanket in John Cena to stop the bleeding. Plus at the time I don't think anybody knew DB was this hurt. I mean he could easily never wrestle again anytime soon.

[frizzzlecake]

I think everything happens for a reason. No way they keep reminding us that the streak was ended by lesnar and No way they end the streak to Lesnar and just have him get AA'd seven times at Summerslam. If DB was the champion I could see them having Lesnar lose like a David vs. Goliath thing and really push DB. but Cena is a 15 now? time champion he doesn't need a win over Lesnar.

What would be really out of the box is if Reigns turns on Cena at Summerslam, Lesnar get's the belt and the fans get an awesome rivalry of Reigns and Cena. Then it's found out Reigns was hired by Paul Heyman (not the first time), and NHO is started. New Heyman Order.

[ajcorleone]

I am willing to make a friendly guess(since we can't bet) that Cena will beat Lesnar at SUmmerslam because WWE is too predictable.

If I counted correctly that makes 14 participants in the IC Battle Royal now.
