Brock Lesnar shocked the entire wrestling community by making a return at WWE Money In The Bank last Sunday. The Beast Incarnate not only appeared for the first time since WrestleMania 35, but he also won the Money In The Bank briefcase. This victory has guaranteed the 2-time Universal Champion a world title shot anytime, anywhere and at any place.
Mr. Money In The Bank teased cashing in his briefcase on the previous episode of RAW but he did not do so. It is being speculated that he will cash-in his briefcase at WWE Super Showdown on 7th June.
With the FOX deal on the horizon, Brock Lesnar may return to SmackDown Live with the WWE Championship but given how popular Kofi Kingston has become over the last few months, the chances of him losing the title to Lesnar are very low.
On the other hand, Rollins had a classic match with AJ Styles last Sunday where he retained the Universal Championship. The probability that Lesnar wins the Universal title is very high because RAW is WWE's flagship show.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
In case, Lesnar wins the Universal Championship once again, here are the 3 things that could happen after his title victory -
#3 RAW's ratings sink once again
Gone are those days when RAW used to have an average of 3 million viewers week in and week out. Nowadays, the red brand hardly crosses the 2.5 million mark, with the show's third hour witnessing a considerable drop in the viewership every week.
A lot of fans think that the internet is the reason behind the show's decreasing viewership while many think it is the poor quality content which is declining the show's popularity. If we take the second option into consideration, the WWE Universe literally hated the Universal Championship reign of Brock Lesnar.
It was not like he was poor inside the ring but he never defended his titles on weekly episodes. He even skipped the 'B' pay-per-views which left the writers with no major storylines to book.

Thus, if Lesnar wins the title once again, the ratings will continue the downward trend.
#2 Another SummerSlam main event for Brock Lesnar
The one thing which is from common between the SummerSlam main events from 2014 to 2018 is the name, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar has been WWE's trump card for this pay-per-view since 2014.
He fought with John Cena in the main event of SummerSlam 2014, against Undertaker in 2015, Randy Orton in 2016, Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns in 2017 before he lost his Universal title to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam last year.
Lesnar is most likely to cash-in his briefcase before the biggest party of summer and if he captures the Universal Championship, he will once again headline SummerSlam.

WWE can book a rematch between Seth Rollins and Lesnar for the title but the WWE Universe would be happier if they also involve the Phenomenal AJ Styles in the mix.
#1 AJ Styles will dethrone Brock Lesnar this time
Seth Rollins did not win the Universal Championship clean at WrestleMania 35. After all, he hit Lesnar with a low blow before executing the stomps. Thus, WWE should not do a simple angle where Rollins would finally slay the Beast by defeating him in a clean manner. Instead, they can spice up things by adding AJ Styles to the title picture.

The feud between AJ and Rollins is far from over. It is just that WWE wants to shock the fans with a big heel turn of either of the two superstars. WWE can have a triple threat match between AJ Styles, Rollins and Lesnar, where Styles will win the title after Rollins would decimate Lesnar with a stomp.
Just like the way he stole the United States Championship here...
This move will add a completely new dimension to the Seth Rollins-AJ Styles rivalry and the fans will be in for a real treat at the Hell in A Cell and Clash of Champions pay-per-views.
If WWE books everything correctly, they will live up to their promise of giving the fans what they want. But, the fans need to wait for the right moment as well. Every good thing takes time and the same happens in WWE as well.
