Extending Brock's Title Reign

People are getting tired of his reign.

Why does WWE love Brock Lesnar so much? I mean, the man is taking away millions of dollars from your pockets for a handful of appearances on your programming and, barring a few on-and-off matches, has mostly wrestled boring, bland and monotonous matches for you. For the past 12 months, the man has held one of their world titles and scarcely defended the title in that time period. WWE had the perfect opportunity to take the title off him and put it on Roman at 'Mania, but they completely swerved everyone and had Lesnar retain the title.

This time out, at the Greatest Royal Rumble, it was all but a guarantee that Roman would finally win the title and send Lesnar back to his special attraction status. But WWE once again went for the wrong route and had Lesnar retain in controversial manner. Not only does this keep the Universal title away from Raw for a few more months, it has prolonged the dreary, boring and tedious title reign of Lesnar as well as this rivalry that has seemingly run its course. It was WWEs best opportunity to put the title on Roman, and their one decision is gonna turn a large group of fans against Lesnar in the coming months.
