3 reasons why Brock Lesnar should move to SmackDown Live

Brock Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman is always sure to remind us of all the monikers his client has. Whenever Lesnar graces a WWE ring, Heyman takes the microphone and introduces his client as The Beast and The Conqueror. Lesnar is otherwise known as the 'Beast Incarnate' and was also touted as The Next Big Thing during his initial run with WWE.

No matter what one thinks of Lesnar, he is one of the most celebrated and decorated athletes in the history of WWE. Ever since his return in 2012, Lesnar has been booked as a monster and a terrifying individual who isn't to be taken lightly at any cost.

At WrestleMania 30, Lesnar defeated The Undertaker to end the latter's undefeated streak at the event. Four months later at SummerSlam 2014, Lesnar decimated John Cena in a one-sided encounter to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

More recently in 2017, Lesnar clinched the Universal Championship after beating Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 and would proceed to have a lengthy championship reign that lasted for nearly 17 months. He would go onto win the Universal Championship twice again.

The Conqueror has challenged all the top Superstars through the entire roster and this could be the right time for him to move to SmackDown Live through the rumored WWE Draft.

Here are three reasons why Brock Lesnar should move to SmackDown Live.

#3 It would help freshen up the main-event scene on both brands

Lesnar is always in the main-evemt scene.

In the post-WrestleMania season, viewership for both weekly flagship shows, i.e RAW and SmackDown Live has been extremely low, which has prompted WWE to bring back the likes of Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker. However, the main reason for the low ratings could be the lack of excitement on the main-event scene.

The main-event scene on RAW in the post-Mania season has centered around Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Baron Corbin and Becky Lynch. On SmackDown Live, it has primarily centered around Kofi Kingston and his WWE Championship challengers.

Whenever Lesnar shows or whereever he goes, he enters the main-event scene as he is one of the leading Superstars. Therefore, Lesnar moving to SmackDown Live will allow for fresh storylines on SmackDown Live's main-event scene, while providing the opportunity for younger stars such as Ricochet to enter the main-event scene on RAW.

#2 The possibilities for intriguing storylines on SmackDown Live

Could these two square off in the near future?

Unlike Monday Night RAW, There are countless opportunities for Brock Lesnar that are readily available on SmackDown Live that would provide a fresh platform for Lesnar to establish dominance.

As most might remember, Lesnar left Randy Orton in a pool of blood at SummerSlam 2016. There's a high probability that Orton hasn't forgotten, the wounds he suffered from his battle with Lesnar at SummerSlam 2016 were agonizingly painful and 'The Viper' would love to exact revenge on Lesnar. Yet another Superstar, Aleister Black, would make for an interesting opponent for Lesnar.

In recent years, Lesnar has displayed the ability to work gruelling matches with opponents of much smaller size like Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Daniel Bryan, and AJ Styles. Hence, Buddy Murphy, Chad Gable, and Ali could bring the best out of Lesnar in a WWE ring. Although it has happened numerous times, a match with Roman Reigns would be fun to watch as well.

Lesnar has always been hungry for championships. Thus, he would love to challenge Kofi Kingston for his WWE Championship.

#1 Lesnar could be the face of the brand

Brock Lesnar could go on to represent SmackDown Live

WWE has often been criticized for using part-timers like Brock Lesnar too much and prioritizing them over full-time talent. However, the reason WWE puts Lesnar in high-profile matches is that the former has proven to be a credible draw. The Beast has a tremendous fan-following from his time in MMA and UFC. Vince McMahon has granted Lesnar special and exclusive privileges as Lesnar has proven to boost ratings.

SmackDown Live is moving to Fox and this is a huge landmark in the Blue Brand's history. However, SmackDown Live needs to maintain healthy and decent ratings if it is to have an extended deal with Fox. Lesnar is one WWE can always rely on to move the needle, as he did on his time on RAW.

Building SmackDown Live around Lesnar may not be the best option, but it's not the worst either. If WWE uses Lesnar wisely, he could be a valuable asset and a priceless commodity to SmackDown Live. Lesnar could put over younger talent and make them look like huge stars.
