When Brock Lesnar won the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match and earned an opportunity to face the Universal Champion or the WWE Champion for the title, many expected it to be Seth Rollins.

But, there was also the possibility of WWE swerving and having Lesnar cash-in his contract on Kingston, who has been a babyface who is very over with the WWE Universe.

WWE have missed an opportunity by making Lesnar cash-in his contract against Rollins. Firstly, fans have already seen Rollins defeat Lesnar, while the feud has also happened earlier some four years ago.

Secondly, Kingston hasn't had too many good feuds and his title reign could be considered a little underwhelming, which could have been remedied with Lesnar facing him. Finally, with SmackDown moving to Fox in a few months and rumours suggesting that Fox wants Lesnar on SmackDown, this would have been the easiest and best way to get Lesnar on the blue brand.
