🎧 Listen to the full episode on Fightful Wrestling Podcast
Brock Lesnar vs. Obafemi
We're going to talk about Brock and Obafemi is now the direction that they're going.
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk
Before Mania, after Mania, do whatever you want to him. But a WrestleMania weekend, Punk belongs to Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns' part-time status
Roman Reigns in 2018 when Brock was really the first of his kind doing this part-timer thing... Roman was the guy saying we got to get the belt off of this guy, we got to give the opportunities back to the guys that are here. And now he's telling you, I don't need to do that.
Obafemi's push
If you're not putting Oba over at WrestleMania, what are we doing? You can't have Oba go to WrestleMania and lose, especially with where the company is right now with the age problem this company has.
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk segment quality
I feel like this is comfortably the worst segment they've had since Royal Rumble. No physicality, just the same catchphrases, the same cookie-cutter stuff.
WrestleMania booking
I think by the end of Mania, I think we're firmly going to see CM Punk as the heel, as the bad guy. I think he might just cheat to win and retain that title.
Gunther's absence
It is very strange that [Gunther] has not been on TV for two weeks in a row.
Seth Rollins' WrestleMania opponent
It still seems unclear if they know if Bron [Breaker] is going to be back. We still don't really know who Seth's opponent is going to be.
Finn Balor's storyline
It does kind of feel like that's where they were going. I made the comparison... that this is probably going to be their way of giving [Finn Balor] a 'here, damn' Triple A Mega Championship, which really feels like him winning the NBA Cup and not winning the actual championship.
Bayley and Lyra storyline
I think that this is going to end with Lyra turning on Bayley the night after WrestleMania.
