4 reasons why Brock Lesnar should win at Survivor Series

Survivor Series 2018
Survivor Series 2018

Recently, Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman at the WWE Crown Jewel. Things were already heated up after his win and fans got a face like thunder.

He recently lost his title against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam and was expected to take a break from the company until his next UFC fight. However, he returned at the WWE Hell In A Cell main event to destroy Strowman and Reigns and adding himself into the title match.

Roman was supposed to retain his title, but his unfortunate illness changed many things.

At Crown Jewel, no one would have thought that Lesnar will win the Universal Championship. Fans were angry during this first title reign and there was a low possibility that WWE will go against the fans and give the title to him.

However, this is a story of past now and at Survivor Series Lesnar is going to face his last year's opponent AJ Styles.

Again, the same question arises that who's going to win this one?

Some may think that AJ Styles should win at Survivor Series as Lesnar won last year but here are four reasons why Lesnar should win this year as well.

#4 His loss could indirectly hurt Braun Strowman

This could happen as well
This could happen as well

Lesnar recently defeated Braun Strowman by giving tons of F5 to him, and one thing to note is the fact that Strowman is one of the most protected wrestlers in the company.

He barely loses any match, and even if he does, then it would be because of disqualification.

Braun Strowman is the conqueror, and he has defeated many big superstars in the company.

Even Roman Reigns had to face him for a total of 4 times to defeat him. Strowman confronted him a couple of times but is yet to beat him.

This is why Lesnar vs. Styles seems to be a one-sided match. Lesnar barely loses against someone, and if he loses against Styles, then it would make things a little confusing.

Even though Corbin attacked Strowman before his match but this doesn't mean that it would cost Strowman the match. He is the powerhouse and if he could not defeat Lesnar but Styles manages to it, then questions will rise on Strowman's potential.

It would indirectly hurt Strowman if Lesnar loses because Styles isn't as big as Strowman. However, this could be improved if someone from Raw would interface in the match and cause the match to Lesnar.

However, this seems unlikely because after Survivor Series, Lesnar will be out from the WWE radar for some months and the would make no sense.

#3 It would hurt his momentum

This will happen for sure
This will happen for sure

A lot of WWE fans are angry with him, but this doesn't mean that he is no longer McMahon's biggest draw.

He still gets more reaction than any other superstar in the company. WWE is portraying him as a superstar who is unbeatable. Even though he lost against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, but that happened because he was distracted by Strowman.

He recently defeated the Monster Among Men; and during the match, Strowman was nowhere close to beating him. He was getting bitten at the hands of Lesnar, and if Styles defeats him at Survivor Series, then it could destroy Lesnar's momentum.

Not only fans will raise the question regarding Strowman's potential, but it will hurt Lesnar's momentum.

This doesn't seem as dangerous as I am saying it is but from the WWE's perspective, this isn't best for business. As I said earlier, if Lesnar loses because of a distraction then it wouldn't seriously hurt his momentum.

#2 Could be beneficial for his next opponent

Think long-term
Think long-term

This may seem like an additional point but wait, there's a lot to explain.

First of all, if we see what's happening with Lesnar, then we will get to know that the company is continuously doing the opposite of what the fans want.

Moreover, as a result, Lesnar is getting a negative reaction.

If we see this as another perspective, then it could make someone's career in the WWE. Whenever, he defeats a fan favorite wrestler or doesn't shows up on Raw, fans boo him.

WWE could use this as a strategy to build someone trendy among the WWE Universe. If he wins against Styles at Survivor Series then again fans him fill the arena with boos.

This could be beneficial for a future star of the company. If McMahon's biggest draw becomes the most hated superstar in the WWE, then anyone who feuds with him will get the best face reaction by the fans. Maybe this is what the company is currently doing with him.

#1 He should lose only in his final feud

Things need to look realistic
Things need to look realistic

After winning the Universal Championship from Goldberg at WrestleMania 33, Lesnar didn't lose a single match before facing Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2018.

He was running his streak in the company, but Reigns broke it, and it seemed like Lesnar is going to take a break from the WWE. However, he returned after a few weeks only to regain the Universal Championship.

If he loses against Styles, then it would break the chain. He should only lose his match when he is going to leave the WWE for a long time. This way, his loss will look much more realistic.

He is expected to stay in the company until next year's Royal Rumble or WrestleMania where he would lose his title and leave the company.

Even though WrestleMania 35 is a few months away but in the WWE, time passes quickly.

His loss against Styles will make things look weaker, and the company would never want to do this. This is why he should only lose against someone who will send him off for a long time.
