3 Explanations for the Universal Championship match being short and unclean

#1 To make Lesnar look strong

Brock Lesnar throws Seth Rollins into the barricades

For some unknown reasons, WWE is still adamant about having Brock Lesnar as the top guy in the company - even though he is barely around RAW or PPVs. And even when he is on RAW, The Beast stands in the ring while his advocate Paul Heyman does the talking.

No one other than Goldberg defeated the Beast Incarnate clean since his defeat against John Cena in 2012. WWE's project Roman Reigns could not slay the Beast clean even though the Big Dog got multiple opportunities to do so. Reigns had to capitalize on a distracted Lesnar to defeat him at SummerSlam 2018. Triple H pinned the Beast at WrestleMania 29 owing to some help from his D-Generation X brother Shawn Michaels.

Brock Lesnar is the ultimate bea in WWE and WWE seems to have no interest in changing the status quo.
