What will be done about the issue of not having the champion for house shows?
This is probably a dumb question, but I actually care for the opinions of the educated members of WFigs, so let's hear it.
What are the implications of Lesnar becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion? Does his contract change? Will he be at RAW more often? & more importantly, how will his reign end? There's no logical selection for the man to take the title from him, so what will they do?
Your thoughts.

Yes, he will most likely be at RAW more often, probably with the Authority.

I don't think he will win.
They are pushing Cena as the greatest champion of all time. I truly think Cena will win.

Cena wins!
Lesnar freaks out and destroys Cena!
Rollins cashes in!
New WWE Champion, Seth Rollins!

Lesnar better win.
But yea, he won't do house shows. They'll be main evented by a John Cena match or something similar. Like when they do split house shows and someone doesn't get a World Champion.

Cena will main event one tour, Reigns will main event the other tour. Same as always, except in situations like last weekend where Cena's unavailable and Ziggler main events the B shows.

I think there will be a non-finish leading to a definitive match at Night of Champions.
If Brock wins the title, I think it puts more emphasis on the mid-card titles. I'd love to see the IC title be pushed to the main event level.

Not saying it'll be a bad match, but I'm expecting something along the lines of an odd finish. The reports have been that WWE is more worried about their NoC card because they want it to be enticing enough to make viewers renew until WM31. |

Lesnar beating the Streak needs to be made a bigger deal. Most of the validity goes away if Cena pins him cleanly at SummerSlam.

Is the WWE champion on most of the house cards these days anyways? I mean most of the time the main events I see promoted are/were some combination of Roman Reigns/Randy Orton/Bray Wyatt/John Cena (before he was champ)/Kane/Jericho and guys like Bret/Flair/Triple H at ringside or refereeing in some way. I can't remember the last time I saw the WWE Title being promoted as a title defense on a house show.
Anyways I agree that maybe if Brock did win the title and disappeared for a while that more importance would be bestowed upon the Intercontinental and United States Titles, this may actually be a double blessing in disguise. Brock takes the title from Cena who hasnt had an interesting title reign since his first, and the US and IC belts are treated like something wrestlers want to win again.

It's been done before.
I think it's good in a way because the midcard titles will have more opportunity to shine and, you know, actually sorta mean something.

Cena wins! Lesnar freaks out and destroys Cena! Rollins cashes in! New WWE Champion, Seth Rollins! That would be the worst possible ending to SummerSlam because they'd just turn around and have Rollins lose to Cena at Night of Champions which would pretty much kill him. |

I'd love to see the IC title be pushed to the main event level. There better be a distinct finish. With the way they've been pushing the Network, having a draw in the main event of SummerSlam - the second biggest show of the year - would be a huge slap in the face and would piss off a lot of people. Not to mention it wouldn't help anyone. |

I've been to a lot of house shows and the main event it usually "for the title". |

Oh well then I'm wrong, all the adverts I've seen for shows in the NY area were showing matches like Orton vs. Reigns, Wyatt vs. Cena in lumberjack matches and stuff like that main eventing. That was in June. I guess they also didnt have a champion at that point. I see the error of my ways now. |

All of Cena's house show matches since Money in the Bank have been promoted as title defenses, I think. Before that, it was the Bryan vs Triple H title match they were promoting for MSG before they realised Bryan had a B+ body. |
