The sea of fans roared in unison as Brock F5'ed John Cena in the middle of the ring. Fans were expecting the Brock Lesnar of the Ruthless Aggression Era to wow them again.

Brock had different plans though.

He had become a megastar outside the WWE, winning the UFC Championship and the NJPW Championship on several occasions. Lesnar wasn't expecting to be treated like any other wrestler in the locker room.

Let's take a look at why Brock's return has run its course and why WWE needs to get rid of him after Mania.

#3 Brock doesn't care about the business

WWE incorporated Brock's attitude into a storyline

There was a time when Brock Lesnar was the next big thing in the WWE. The company made him into the biggest star of the early 21st century, and he capitalized on this popularity after he left the business.

When he returned back to the WWE, Brock made it clear he was there to make money. He threw the WWE Universal title on McMahon after Mania last year, a visual that's said to be part of the storyline. The story didn't go anywhere, and people still suspect that it was as real as it could get.

Brock's attitude was played into TV when he was shown reading a magazine and disinterested with coming out to the fans. Brock doesn't mingle much with other wrestlers and keeps to himself, which is completely okay, but he went a tad bit too far at SummerSlam 2016.

The main event of Lesnar vs Orton had to be stopped after Brock left Orton a bloody mess in the middle of the ring. Although this was pre-planned, Brock didn't pull any punches and did his best to hurt Orton as much as he could.

It was rumored that Lesnar didn't like the jab Orton took at him on an episode of SmackDown before the PPV, claiming that The Beast took steroids for his latest match in UFC. This eventually turned out to be true.

#2 The reign of terror

The reign of terror has gone too far

Brock Lesnar's contract gives him special perks that no other wrestler gets.

He appears rarely on WWE TV and hasn't wrestled on Raw since 2002. His appearances include major PPVs like WrestleMania, Survivor Series, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble. He occasionally wrestles on B-level PPVs too.

This absence has led to the Universal title turning into a joke, and it's a travesty that the WWE Universe rarely gets to see the top championship on a weekly basis. Brock's championship reign is now famously called "the reign of terror".

The fans being sick and tired of this reign is the understatement of the year, and it's expected that Rollins will finally dethrone Lesnar from the top spot and begin a title reign that would return the lost prestige of the championship.

But the fans shouldn't hold their breaths on it, as WWE has been known to change long-term decisions at the last moment. Roman Reigns was slated to defeat Lesnar at WrestleMania 34, but the plans were changed at the last moment.

#1 Ratings are only going downhill

Brock as champion doesn't move the rating meter up

The biggest reason why WWE should get rid of Lesnar is that the ratings are still at an all-time low.

Last year, the ratings reached a record low and a desperate WWE tried to shake things up by calling NXT names onto the main roster and firing the bland general manager, Baron Corbin. This didn't help matters much, and it's clear that Brock being WWE's top champion isn't doing the company any favors. Things could get worse after Mania is done with.

WWE should focus on building up top stars who can go on to main-event future WrestleManias. There are a bunch of guys down in NXT who are destined to achieve in-ring greatness, only if the higher-ups go out of their way to promote these stars in a proper manner, and not put their eggs in one basket, like how they did with Lesnar and Reigns.
