With lots of speculation of the Summerslam main event going around due to a promo being released by "mistake" I want to clear up why it won't be such a bad thing if that intended match is for the title.
Now on the assumption that the two superstars in the main event are the ones implied then we can expect to see John Cena and Brock Lesnar going at it again. It's unclear at this time whether this match will be for the WWE title or not but I want to look into what will happen if it is.
Brock needs to win. FACT. This helps to continue the fact he is unstoppable and helps to make sure the defeat of the streak stays valued. If anyone beats Brock within one year of him beating the streak it will completely devalue it. If Brock wins the title it should not be deemed as a bad thing and I'm more than happy for him to have a lengthy title reign.
If Brock hold the title its safe to say we won't see him on TV every single week. THIS IS A GOOD THING. This means the WWE will have a mainevent champion that isn't over saturated. The current WWE title picture seems to revolve around the champ having a match every single week and they don't need that. They also have the perfect reasoning as to why Brock should stay off TV. "Taker shows once a year and I defeated him. Why should I be any different?" This also means that we don't get too many of Brocks dates used up at once.
By the champ not being on tv you can have it made clear that he will only fight the best of the best at PPVs. This would put all the attention on finding a great number one contender and this would give wrestling a sense of competition as well as story. Also, this gives WWE the option to start pushing younger guys into the main event picture without the worry of them being overly exposed straight away. This could also be seen as a great chance to create main event storylines that didn't revolve around the wwe title in some way. When was the last time two main event stars really feuded for a long time just because it was personal?
Another good reason for your champ not being on tv is that it makes him look special. Imagine Brock Lesnar has Heyman as his advocate and you have Cesaro fighting on behalf of Lesnar. This would be a great way of making it seem like Lesnar has power and could even lead to Cesaro/Lesnar for after Wrestlemania. Brock not being on tv would also give the midcard a chance to thrive. If there was no WWE title on RAW or Smackdown you could have the IC title be the one in the main event or even the US title when they decide to fix it up. NOTE - WWE Should be doing this now but given the fact they are about as useful as a cock flavoured lolly pop we can assume they would only really focus on it if this did happen.
Now I know a lot of you are saying "WHAT ABOUT RATINGS? WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY GUYS?" They will be the guys giving it everything on RAW so they can show why they should be number one contender. They are the ones out there every single week giving the ratings anyway so belt or no belt that wont change.
Providing the WWE stuck with the rematch clause they could have each person face Lesnar twice. So if Lesnar wins the title at Summerslam that would leave 6 ppvs up until Mania. This could give WWE the opportunity to have Cena face him at Summerslam and NOC. Bryan (if he is back) to face him at HIAC and Survivor Series, Randy Orton face him at TLC and Rumble. A month of build going through Elimination Chamber for Reigns to face him at Wrestlemania.
Provided Lesnar has at least 15 dates on his contract he can do every PPV and the full build up to Wrestlemania. And there is no denying that whoever beats Lesnar at Mania is going to look great and get a huge push. Enter Roman Reigns.
So what do you think? Still feel that the WWE champ should be on TV every single week or are you ok with Lesnar being a "part timer" and holding the title? Let us know by leaving a comment or getting in touch on twitter at @LevellerLOW
