Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns Feud Only Makes Brock Lesnar Look Stronger

It's the 2015 Royal Rumble (subscription required) and the announce team is slobbering over their headsets upon seeing Brock Lesnar.
"Oh man."
"Wow."
"That's scary."
Lesnar walks to the ring with purpose. He is being cheered by the same zealous fanbase that may have rioted had he broken the Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak in their building.
But almost one year later, Lesnar is over like God.It's simple consistency that elevated the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to such status. The formula's on his t-shirt.Lesnar is a model of simplicity down to his moveset. He spent an entire match suplexing John Cena and was regarded as a wrestling Mozart throughout. Everybody is committed to his role as WWE's premier conqueror. No smoke or mirrors needed.
WWE opted to punt simplicity in getting Roman Reigns to WrestleMania 31. There's now a chance that Daniel Bryan will either join or replace him in the main event.Reigns and Bryan are currently battling each other in an ambiguous game of one-upmanship. Both are playing the babyface, but in different shades. Bryan is the older, wiser fan favorite who plans tooutwrestle Reigns.Reigns is the young upstart looking to overpower Bryan both physically and figuratively.

The Fastlane main event between Bryan and Reigns is clearly a response to the downpour of Twitter rage following Bryan's Royal Rumble elimination.
Instead of placating angered fans, however, WWE is only confusing them.Who do they cheer for? Is Reigns the bad guy because the Reality Era is turning on him? Because he speared Daniel Bryan last week on Raw?
Is Bryan playing the heel? Bryan was eliminated from the Royal Rumble clean. Not only is he getting another shot, he's rubbing it in like he did in 2012.Such questions eventually lead to apathy, as fans are forced to consider so many unnecessary factors. There is much less to consider with Lesnar. Despite being paired with sinister manager Paul Heyman, he just beats people up in a straightforward fashion.
Fans are growing to appreciate him on the merits of performance, simple as it sounds. He is every bit the attraction WWE wanted him to be upon signing him in 2012. His aura is enhanced by seeming simply unstoppable.The ongoing peeing contest between Bryan and Reigns is only distancing their own fans. Neither is fighting a good fight. Both are out for their own agendas and are resorting to every gamesmanship cliche at their disposal.
During Reigns' match against Kane, Bryan served as a guest commentator and distracted Reigns with "Yes!" chants.Reigns followed up by giving away merchandise ringside during Bryan's match. Both matches ended as one would expect for such an overcomplicated feud: one count-out, one disqualification.
Since returning to WWE, none ofLesnar's matches have ended in disqualification. Such contrasts between Lesnar and WWE's top two babyfaces make Lesnar—not Reigns or Bryan—seem like the true hero.
