4 Biggest reasons why Rey Mysterio should beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship

The promo Rey Mysterio cut after the Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez feud at Crown Jewel is a proof that Lesnar and Mysterio are going to feud with each other next. The Beast assaulted Mysterio and his son, Dominick, a few weeks ago and this was one of the few reasons why Velasquez made his WWE debut in the first place.

A few between The Master of 619 and The Beast Incarnate will definitely sell out stadiums and WWE will never want to miss this great opportunity. Lesnar is carrying that WWE title ever since he beat Kofi Kingston during SmackDown's debut on FOX Network and could be expected to win a few bouts easily before dropping his title to another Superstar.

While we don't know when this is going to happen, it would be an ideal scenario if Mysterio becomes the one to snatch the championship belt from Lesnar, and here are four strong reasons why this will be a great idea.

#4 Rey Mysterio works full-time in WWE

Unlike Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio has signed a two-year contract with WWE to perform as a full-timer. So far, he has done an incredible job in entertaining fans from all over the world.

The common complaint that the WWE Universe has with Lesnar is that he doesn't defend his title regularly. However, a full-time champion eliminates this issue. By having Rey Mysterio as the WWE Champion, fans will get to see title defenses regularly on RAW and pay-per-views, something they miss whenever a part-timer wins a title.

A full-time champion also ensures that fans will tune in regularly to watch WWE's weekly show and this will only benefit the company. After all, it's a champion's responsibility to keep things fresh whilst entertaining the crowd.

#3 A shocking way to end Brock Lesnar vs Rey Mysterio, without disappointing the fans

WWE had hyped the Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar feud quite a lot and yet, their feud delivered underwhelming results. Lesnar won the bout in a little over two minutes, with Velasquez tapping to the Kimura Lock. Now that The Beast Incarnate will appear on the Red Brand, fans could expect a good rivalry between Mysterio and Lesnar.

It's certain that Mysterio will be working as an underdog in his feud with Lesnar, but is WWE planning to shock the world? As mentioned earlier, Mysterio works full-time for WWE and this is why he is an ideal choice to win the title. Besides, there's another angle to this.

When The Beast and Mysterio will lock horns in the squared circle, fans will expect the champ to win the bout easily. But what if Mysterio does the unthinkable and wins the title? Yes, it's unlikely WWE will allow him to beat Lesnar clean, but he could be asked to used underhand techniques.

Mysterio has never been projected as a heel, and if he does use a different approach to dethrone Lesnar, it will give Mysterio a chance to add a different dimension to his character as a champion and also protect Lesnar.

#2 Rey Mysterio has an out-clause in his contract in WWE

Mysterio made a surprise appearance during the 2018 Men's Royal Rumble match, without signing a contract with WWE. However, later that year, he returned to the company again, and this time after penning down a contract. According to PWInsider, he signed a 2-year long contract with WWE with a clause that allows him to leave the company after 18 months if he wants to - April 2020, assuming he fixed the deal in September 2018.

Mysterio is a big Superstar in WWE, and the company will try their best to retain the masked legend. WrestleMania is a few months away, and Mysterio can opt to leave WWE somewhere around this pay-per-view. However, WWE could keep him in the company for long if they manage to offer a title to Mysterio, or an interesting storyline.

This will allow him to work as a champion in WWE again and will also all but guarantee that Mysterio wouldn't want to leave the company. Survivor Series is going to happen soon and it's unlikely that Mysterio will end up winning the title sooner than WrestleMania 36, since that would be the perfect opportunity to bring about a title win for a well-respected Superstar like Mysterio.

#1 It's been a long time since Mysterio held a World Title

In the past few months, Rey Mysterio has unsuccessfully challenged for the Universal Championship many times. Now, he's going to do the same with WWE Championship, when WWE makes this official. His last World Title reign came back in 2011, when he beat The Miz for the then-vacant WWE Championship, but he lost the title two hours later to John Cena.

Since then, The Master of 619 hasn't won a World Title in WWE. He's on the verge to retire from wrestling, and he teased it some time ago on RAW, and it'll be unfair if WWE doesn't allow him to have another World Title reign.

Undoubtedly, beating Brock Lesnar is a huge feat, but Mysterio has proved time and time again that he is capable of picking up big wins. He has always worked as an underdog and this is what will make his next World Championship win special if he manages to successfully challenge Lesnar for the title.
