Introducing... 'This Week in Pro Wrestling' - Brock Lesnar's collision course, Roman Reigns' last laugh, RK-Bro's stiff competition and more
I’m going to be trying something new this time with a preview into the top storylines in the world of professional wrestling. Let’s first take a look into what’s going on this week in the WWE.
Brock Lesnar’s collission course might be set
The main storyline is Brock Lesnar on a potential collision course with the Head of the Table Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. Before we get there though, Brock Lesnar takes on the All Mighty Bobby Lashley at the Royal Rumble. This is a match Lashley has been chasing his entire career, both in MMA and in the WWE, now he finally gets his chance. Even I’ll admit, this is a match worthy of main eventing Mania, but to kick off the road to Mania, should be an interesting one. The only issue, we are not reaping the benefits of a MVP/Paul Heyman promo to build the match. WE DESERVE IT!
Roman Reigns set to have the last laugh?
Roman Reigns ended Smackdown being laughed at by Seth Freakin’ Rollins. Does this mean Adam Pearce picked Rollins for Roman at the Royal Rumble? The A show, Smackdown has been carrying the company this past year, and I believe we can trust where they are going with this particular challenger for the Universal Championship. The fans win if it is indeed the Visionary is next to challenge the Head of the Table.
RK-Bro’s championship run is getting intense
How are RK-Bro going to respond defending their titles against the Alpha Academy? Are we seeing the demise of the loveable odd-couple? HEY RAAANDY, please don’t ruin this for us by turning on our bro, Riddle. Did you not see what he was able to do with MSK last week against Imperium on NXT. Just give us a few more months of RK-Bro before you do what you do as the Viper.
Everyone loves a Becky
Lastly for WWE, who is up next for Big Time Becks a.k.a. Becky Lynch? Does Liv Morgan get a third shot in a row? Or the EST of WWE in Bianca Belair. Doudrop may be the surprise to get such a big opportunity. I just don’t know if she has the star power of the other two just yet. If you want my opinion, I think Belair gets the W tonight to drive her story from Summerslam and the loss to Becky. We all love Liv as the feel good story, but Belair has to be the favorite going into the triple threat tonight.
But, what about what is going on currently in AEW?
Holy sh*t, the Bryan Danielson/Adam Page match was incredible. With Kenny Omega still sidelined, who steps up to go after the Hang man next? Page showed he could hang with two of the best performers in the world and have the clout to come out still as champ. Consider me super impressed, now where do we go from there.
The MAIN story currently is sitting with Maxwell Jacob Friedman, MJF and the nostalgic CM Punk. The promos have been nothing but nuclear these last few weeks, with MJF getting the best of CM Punk. MJF is proving to be the top heel in all of professional wrestling if you hear some of his interviews outside AEW like on Busted Open Radio. He is very much the heel we deserve. He is the type of heel that generates such heat, it’s like Roddy Piper. He throws bombs on the mic. When will Punk get his hands on MJF? Punk has to go through Wardlow this week.
The Undisputed Era has reunited under a new banner in AEW. I must say, it’s pretty dope to see as they KILLED it over on NXT. Adam Cole is just, great. I know I wanted to see him take on AJ Styles before he left but hey, just be happy we got to see some great matches during that amazing run in NXT. The feud brewing with the Young Bucks and Omega should be entertaining as hell to see. And when he gets back, we could see Omega/Cole (BABAY). Fingers crossed.
Let’s see how this week pans out. If you want to hit me up with your thoughts for this week in pro wrestling or have thoughts you want to share with me, hit me up on twitter: Zero2Hero or on IG: Rproctor23.
