I don’t expect too many surprises to come out of Roadblock, much like Fastlane, so I’m just going to give quick match predictions. Triple H will retain his title, the New Day will win and so will Brock Lesnar. Also winning but not leaving with the titles will be Enzo and Cass. Check out my Review article on Saturday night after the event where I will break down the Good, the Bad and the God Awful. Now on to thoughts about this event.
The Brock vs Wyatt match should be fun, hopefully Bray will be treated respectfully and put up a strong showing against Lesnar. Enzo and Cass, I believe, are set to make their main roster debut to feud with The New Day so I don’t expect them to win the titles but I can see them winning by outside interference or a DQ.
It’s good that Ambrose is getting shot at main eventing another special but they need to pull the trigger at some point and give him the title. He has earned it by putting on classics for the last two years with a number of different opponents and has a ridiculous connection with the fans. I’ve been hard on the WWE’s treatment of Ambrose and Reigns and unfortunately I don’t see it changing anytime soon. Ambrose is the guy they will continue to plug in to the main event when it needs a little jolt and Reigns will continue to be the top dog.
I'm confused by the WWE. How did Sheamus and Wade Barrett earn a title shot at Road Block? Wade Barrett hasn't been in the ring for months, with the exception of this last week, and he is leaving the company soon. The only build to this rivalry is the New Day making one liners against the League of Nations on TV and a few Youtube video’s trashing them. Then to add insult to more insult after the New Day’s supposed face turn at Fastlane they have been playing heels again by facing Y2AJ, Lucha Dragons and The Uso’s.
It's almost like the WWE just doesn’t care about their story telling unless it is a main event match. Back when I was younger, people would shell out lots of money to see their favorite tag team or the Intercontinental Champion. I for one was a huge Macho Man fan and could’ve cared less about Hulk Hogan. I was a big fan of Jake Roberts, The Hart Foundation and Rick Rude because they were great in the ring and on the mic. These were midcard acts that held secondary titles and were in engaging feuds with good story telling. There is so much more than just the Main Event and the WWE needs to do a better job showcasing all the titles. If they do fans may not be so upset when guys like Neville, Cody Rhodes, Cesaro, Damian Sandow and so many more don't get bumped to the main event.
