3 reasons Brock Lesnar should retain his title at Royal Rumble and 2 why he shouldn't

Royal Rumble 2019 is going to be WWE's first pay-per-view of the year. This is a big PPV and we could expect some great things to happen.

Last year, the company promised a change that will happen in the upcoming weeks. They have also been suffering a lot in terms of viewership so there's no doubt that things are going to be interesting this year.

Brock Lesnar, the Universal Champion, is going to defend his title against Braun Strowman at the show. It has now become a question whether or not Strowman will become the Universal Champion at the show.

Well, we cannot say anything at the moment but, in this article, we will outline why Lesnar should retain his title at Royal Rumble and why he shouldn't.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Let's dive in.

#3 Why he should retain: Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35

We have seen multiple matches between Braun Strowman and Braun Lesnar, but the fact still remains the same that the latter always dethrones him.

Other the other, Rollins is taunting Lesnar for his part-time schedule from a very long time. It is something we should not ignore since Rollins is nowhere near the Universal Championship picture.

We could expect that the WWE is planning to do another Lesnar vs Rollins but this time for the Universal Championship. To add some more weight to my point, rumours are suggesting that it is indeed true. Rollins is the biggest babyface wrestler on Monday Night Raw, right now and it would be great to see a match between these two wrestlers at Wrestlemania 35.

WWE could plant seeds for this rivalry with Lesnar attacking the former Intercontinental Champion. This is not the best way to start this rivalry but considering the things that happened, this is more likely to happen.

#2 Why he should not retain: Fans want to see Strowman as a champion

Even though Rollins vs Lesnar is a big match, we cannot forget about Strowman. After all, he is one of the few superstars to get a push at a very high level in the WWE.

Not so long ago he was in The Wyatt Family but the company saw something in him and now he has become one of the biggest superstars in the company.

We have seen Lesnar vs Strowman on more than one occasion and now it's time for The Monster Among Men to either win the championship or leave the title picture.

WWE has already extended this rivalry a lot and now there is no reason to do this again. Fans also want Strowman to win the championship and as the WWE promised to listen to them, this could happen as well.

#2 Why he should retain: Royal Rumble might not be the best place for this title change to happen

Royal Rumble is one of the biggest WWE pay-per-views but it is not the biggest. Wrestlemania, the Grandest Stage Of Them All, is the biggest WWE PPV that is just a few months away to happen.

Even if Strowman wins the Universal Title at the Royal Rumble then it may not benefit him a lot. Especially considering the fact that the company is in a shortage of big names.

WrestleMania, on the other hand, is the biggest event of the WWE and whoever wins at this event gets a lot more exposure. Lesnar is one of the biggest superstars in the WWE and if Strowman defeats him at Mania, it would make his career.

However, the fans may not like see Lesnar defeating Strowman again but there's still an option. Instead of losing the match clean, Strowman could defeat Lesnar via disqualification.

#1 Why he should not retain: He is a part-timer

Even though Wrestlemania is just a few months away to happen, there is still a lot of time left for it. Lesnar is a part-timer and there's no reason why the fans don't like him as a champion. He has not defended his championship as a "real" champion and it's definitely making the fans go angry.

Still, he is champion and not for just a few weeks but for over 562 days (at the time of writing). Part-time wrestlers are definitely a problem for the WWE and it should be solved as soon as possible.

Strowman vs Lesnar is going to happen at Royal Rumble and it is the only chance for the WWE to take the belt away from him before Wrestlemania. As we all know he only works on big pay-per-views.

So maybe Strowman is going to defeat Brock Lesnar.

#1 Why he should retain: The Next Big Thing

Lesnar is no longer "The Next Big Thing" in the WWE. There are many superstars in the locker room who deserves to win the championship.

Drew McIntyre is one of the biggest heel superstars (and probably The Next Big Thing) in the WWE who should defeat Lesnar at the Grandest Stage Of Them All.

He has already done a lot of big things in the WWE and also has defeated Kurt Angle on Raw. We can see how much of a push he is currently getting in the WWE.

It wouldn't be shocking if he faces Lesnar at WrestleMania and defeats him. He has impressed Vince with his work and we all know how much push McMahon gives to his favourite wrestler. He is really talented and deserves to do this.

Do you think McIntyre will face Lesnar at WrestleMania? Or Strowman will defeat him at the Royal Rumble?
