Braun Strowman has lost a lot of momentum with this decision
Look, I get why Brock Lesnar became Universal Champion again. The rumour mills indicate that he will carry the belt to UFC 230. It's a PR exercise through and through and one that can pay dividends for WWE in the long run.

But at the same time, I think Braun Strowman has lost far too much momentum to be taken seriously as a threat again, is what I fear. WWE had the chance to create a brand new star in Strowman on numerous occasions and they've squandered it away, time and time again. He has never looked this weak, and no amount of overturned trailers will repair the damage that's been done to the man, I fear.
How long will Lesnar hold the championship, going forward? That is a question we'll only be able to answer, once RAW concludes.
