The poll was open for twenty-four hours and closed this afternoon. The question I asked was 'Who's Going To Win At SummerSlam?' and I gave the four potential winners as the choices.
The winner, if you will, was Brock Lesnar. He received forty percent of the votes. However, Roman Reigns was very close with thirty-eight percent.
Going in, I had a feeling that Samoa Joe would have been the option that finished in second-place. I thought this because he was the name that was backed when Paddy Power's market was first installed on Thursday evening.
As of the time of writing, Paddy Power's betting market has Reigns and Joe tied in second. The voters evidently think that Reigns has a better a chance than Joe, but I disagree.
I've stated numerous times over the past few weeks that I believe Brock Lesnar will retain the title. If there was a plan for him to drop the strap on August 20th, I think the company would have put him in a singles match against Roman Reigns because the end result has been for Reigns to slay The Beast in order to become Universal Champion.
If there has been a discussion of Lesnar losing the fatal 4-way match, in my mind, the obvious winner should be Samoa Joe.
Joe has wins over Roman Reigns so - if there is a plan other than Lesnar, and my instinct is telling me there isn't - Joe has to be the second favourite because it would allow for Roman Reigns to chase a different heel for the big win whenever or wherever that might be.
It was interesting to gauge how the fans (not all are bettors) are calling this. Had I cast a vote, I would have been with the majority.
Time permitting, there might be more poll result posts in the near future.
The good question is "who the winner will pin?"
ReplyDeleteIf its Reings, thats mean Lesnar should take fall.
If its Joe its Lesnar or Braun, which i dont see hapening
Most obvious its Lesnar is getting win by pinfall over Joe
If it's going to be Reigns .vs. Lesnar at Mania, Reigns being pinned by Lesnar would work at this point.
