They're doing the match again because Braun isn't the guy, but he's been presented as a big enough star that they think that people might still want to see the match. Maybe they're even right. They're wasting Braun here so they can keep their other contenders for the Rumble. It'll keep people guessing as to whether Rollins or McIntyre will win. Being honest neither of them feel like ideal winners either: it's too soon for Drew and too late for Seth. But they're both better options than Braun after he's already been beaten by Brock more than once.
I couldn't be less interested in Braun vs Lesnar, being honest, but I kinda think they've made the right decision in keeping their other singles stars for the Rumble match. That's the match that sells the show anyway, so they should be doing what they can to make it as strong as possible. If Braun was in the match, he'd weigh it down. They'd have to keep him strong but I don't think people would believe he had a shot of winning, not to mention the action would be less exciting.
