@Mastermind I would assume it was decided pretty soon after Wrestlemania. Long in advance.

@Gator I haven't heard anything about him and Sting. I'm under the impression Sting will only come in and do one match, with Taker, if Taker is healthy enough for it. Where have you heard he will face Brock? I think that'd be a horrible idea since he'd have to lose, Brock looks strong enough already. The Rock is the name I've been hearing. Triple H wants Reigns to stop him, Vince wants The Rock.

Personally, I would have Brock decimate The Rock at the Rumble, making him look totally unstoppable, and really setting the gauntlet for whoever has to face him. I'd also have him miss a few PPV's deliberately, but I doubt they'd do that.

As for Brock/Cena looking sloppy and Cena not performing well, I don't agree with that. My ONLY problem with the match was the fact Cena simply has not learned how to sell in 15 years. Attempted comebacks are fine and a good part of match psychology, but every Cena comeback he came back at 100%. Doing that completely no-sells everything that came before. If he learned to pace himself a little his matches would improve tenfold.
