On WWE doing Roman Reigns vs John Cena at No Mercy and what that means about Reigns possible WrestleMania match with Brock Lesnar:

EB: They are making a commitment early, now, to start really building Roman Reigns. Granted, this is not new, they have tried to do this in the past. If you look at the variable right now John Cena is on his way kind of, I don’t want to say out the door, John Cena will probably be around as long as he chooses. Which will be a long, long time. I think he’s on the downward arc of his career in terms of activity and as a performer. Which suggests to me that they are probably going to do a pretty good job of building up Roman Reigns. I have always said that I like the Roman Reigns character. I think we have only seen the tip of the iceberg with Roman Reigns. If they are really making the decision now to build him up for Brock Lesnar I think that potentially could be very good television.
