3 reasons WWE need to let Brock Lesnar go after WrestleMania 35

#2 The reign of terror

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.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
