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

#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.

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.
