No main roster greatness
By Scott Keith on 19 September 2019
You can argue that from a sheer talent perspective, the main roster WWE is as great as its ever been. But that coincides with a distinct lack of main roster MOTYC matches. Most MOTYC under WWE umbrella are NXT or NXTUK. Why is this? Is it the booking sucking drama out of great matches, overexposure of talent? I mean it’s almost October and I’m thinking Kofi/Bryan is probably the main roster MOTY. Asuka/Becky from the Rumble, Seth/Brock?
What’s missing?
Overexposure is absolutely a factor, because guys like Rollins are on TV every week doing matches and there's no specialness left for PPV. I'm not saying everyone needs to be Brock Lesnar, but there's a happy medium. Also, yes, booking is definitely a factor. Although I'd probably go with Brock-Seth from Summerslam as the main roster match of the year so far.
