I'm so shocked by this… O wait no I'm not. Everyone and there mother saw this coming.

  did we NOT want this to happen?

  Just because you’re not shocked doesn’t mean they should pull a swerve for the sake of shocking people. Heel attacks face. Face returns from injury, challenges heel. Classic wrestling booking. Sort your grammar out too.

As expected – Trip challenges brock for a match at summerslam…

But – How will WWE book this match?

1. If Trip loses the match, he loses his authority figure + future hall-of-fame caliber wrestler status. But, winning isnt going to add anything to his already stellar career…

2. If Brock loses it will be his second big ppv match loss after return. But, if he wins, this whole storyline goes for a toss. If Brock were a full-time figure Trip can make-up a rivalry or a revenge kind of storyline after his loss to brock at summerslam but that aint gonna happen and to complete the rivalry Trip has to win..

Wow!! this is getting tough

who do you think/want will win? your predictions? Trip or Brock?

  Booking this will be tricky. My best option would be a dusty finish. Someone who could benefit from getting involved, who either Trip or Brock can get involved with after.

  Brock will win because he lost at extreme rules
  - Anand
    
    Trip will look like a fool if he loses the match. He challenges the man who thinks he is above the company to a fight in a good vs bad kind of scenario. If brock were to return full time, then Trip could lose the match and have a rematch for payback after a few weeks of build up.
    
    Since brock isnt going to be wrestling full time I doubt that. Maybe Trip will win to shut brock and heyman up along with their lawsuits.

Will lesner be on raw tonight?hope so
George

Sounds good on paper, but I dislike both men to the point that I don't even care who even wins.
Monty

I think we can expect a dirty finish to keep this going, also is cena done with lesner? After one Match that’s it?

Triple H should really retire and leave the wrestling to guys who need the push, even if they must lose to make lesnar happy a great match could give an up and comer alot of respect from fans. Triple H is way past it and should stick to the behind the scenes stuff from now on. They should do big show v lesnar, their stretcher match was epic.
Sythian

For those newer/younger fans who don’t know Brock all that well, they will really need to put Brock over as dominant so that he comes across as a legit threat. Right now he’s the bully who lost and ran home crying after Cena beat him as far as young fans are concerned.
Tony

The best way they should go with this storyline is by making the match a last man standing match and have it end in a draw that way neither Brock or triple h would look weaker then the other. That's just my opinion and I think it would be great for tv
