Seth Rollins may have pulled off a great win over Dean Ambrose at WWE Money in the Bank ladder match, but it looks like "The Face of WWE" will not have much to celebrate.
Rumors doing rounds last week hinted Brock Lesnar's return to Monday Night RAW at Cleveland and "The Beast" did exactly that as he returned to WWE during RAW. The WWE Universe as well as wrestling fans across the globe were well aware that it was only a matter of time before Lesnar would show up in a WWE ring again. As anticipated "The Beast Incarnate" made his return to WWE during Monday Night RAW, on June 15.
After what happened at Money in the Bank, the hype was expected to be on Seth Rollins successfully defending his title against former teammate Dean Ambrose, but this time without any help from The Authority, Kane or J&J Security, Inquisitr noted.
However all the focus was on one wrestler who was making his return after over two months - Brock Lesnar.
After Lesnar lost his World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31, Rollins denied him an opportunity to win back the belt and that was enough to enrage "The Beast."
Lesnar attacked the RAW announce crew and even a helpless cameraman.
Stephanie McMahon indefinitely suspended Lesnar for his actions, but actually it was a smart move on the company's part to write him off television as it not oly explained why Lesnar couldn't appear on a full-time basis but it also allowed WWE to simultaneously build him up as more of a face for when he came back.
No doubt, Lesnar will get his revenge on Rollins and The Authority sooner or later, according to Bleacher Report.
Basically, the entire world title picture has been on a hold pattern until Lesnar was all set to make his return. Putting him in title contention directly is a clear indication that there isn't another feud Lesnar could have right now that would provide him with the same kind of main event-level prestige.
Lesnar has already beaten Tripe H, John Cena, and broke The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is probably shooting another movie, and CM Punk is not planning to return to WWE anytime soon.
It hardly makes sense to put the biggest price in WWE on either Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose only to drop it to Lesnar this summer. Holding the title for such a short time would do more harm than good to an emerging star like "The Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose or his former Shield teammate Roman Reigns.
That being said, allowing Lesnar to take the World Heavyweight Championship from Rollins would wrap up that story arc allowing a new challenger like Roman Reigns to rise.
However, with Sheamus winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, things might change a bit as he is a major wild card in this whole situation. Sheamus can cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at any time.
Probably Sheamus too may capitalize on a weakened Lesbianar just like Rollins captured the World Heavyweight Championship.
This could be the much needed change as far as Sheamus is concerned as he has hardly done anything since returning in March. Moreover, he can be a great worker when he is on top of his game.
