The Cena and Brock/Braun bait and switches were frankly disgusting by WWE. I can see pulling this stuff on TV especially if it furthers a story or draws heat on another character…but this stuff furthered NOTHING and was for the second biggest PPV of the year.

Disgraceful.

I’m glad you both brought this up but I don’t think its getting near enough hate as it deserves. At this point I could see WWE showcasing 3 weeks of Stone Cold vs Goldberg for WM35 only to change the match to Corbin vs Roode. Enjoy your non-refundable tickets. And even if they are refundable you might already be locked into to things like time off work, plane tickets, hotel accomodations, plans with friends or family locally, kids who are expecting to go, etc.

Bait and switch at this level with these high profile names and the main title…completely unacceptable.

I thought Lana did a great heartfelt promo after the rumble. I hope they are going to use it for a storyline.
