As Heyman said himself Brock Lesnar is box office.\

While WWE call Brock Lesnar a "beast", "conquerer" and "freak of nature", wrestling fans call the Universal Champion "lazy", "boring" and "a part-timing part-timer", and from the clear difference of opinion between the fans and the WWE, there has to be something done about Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is visibly at the end of his WWE run, as his desire to return to the UFC is increasing, while his desire to fight any wrestler in the WWE is at an all-time low. However, Paul Heyman recently said in his work-shoot Facebook post, Brock Lesnar does not want to fight any random star but a star that is on his level of strength, power, and most importantly drawing power level.

Moreover, Raw has not had that one thing for the entirety of 2018, 'drawing power,' and imagine if the headlines of an article read: Brock Lesnar defends his Universal Championship in the main event of Raw, the wrestling community would literally explode. As Lesnar is a pay-per-view fighter, but here WWE can utilize him in possibly his last match on TV to boost ticket sales, live attendance records, and viewership numbers. Raw has big stars such as Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor, but none are more intriguing than Lesnar himself, and WWE should use him to give Raw the boost it needs this year.

#25 Make Braun Strowman the Universal Champion

Strowman is 'the man' now.

When Braun Strowman fell short of winning the Universal Championship at No Mercy, fans were utterly shocked, as Strowman was one of the few WWE homegrown talents that got super over with the wrestling fanbase. However, whoever decided to deny "the monster among men" his chance at the gold at that point should have reassessed their booking strategy as his career has not seen him reach that pure level of badassery ever since. And WWE should thank their lucky stars as Mr. Money in the Bank is still over with fans. Therefore, if WWE needs to do one thing to improve Raw this year, it is to make Strowman World Champion.

Balor's reign was cut short, Owens reign was handled poorly, Goldberg's run with the belt was underwhelming, and Lesnar was absent for most of his title reign, but Strowman would change that notion and elevate the Universal Title to new heights. One of the best things about this decision is the amount of A-grade feuds Strowman could have with Raw's top stars, as he could take on a gusty Seth Rollins, battle a lunatic in Dean Ambrose and rekindle an old rivalry with Roman Reigns. Strowman is the future of Raw right now, and WWE could make the flagship show one hundred times better if he sits atop the mountain.
