#3: Brock Lesnar squashed Ricochet in about 90 seconds

Heading into Brock Lesnar's WWE Title defense against Ricochet, it didn't seem like Ricochet stood any chances at winning, to begin with.

Paul Heyman was adamant about the fact that The Beast Incarnate was definitely going to win this bout at Super ShowDown.

Heyman's spoilers rarely come out to be wrong, and Lesnar's advocate was proven right when The Beast Incarnate squashed his opponent in Saudi Arabia last night.

A few German Suplexes and an F-5 later, Ricochet's WWE Championship dreams were put on the backseat for the time being.

From a strategical perspective, this squash win gives Brock an ultimate edge heading into WrestleMania 36. Drew McIntyre has been getting high on relatively easier wins on RAW recently, and Lesnar needed a display of his own strength after being eliminated by Drew during this year's 30-Man Royal Rumble Match.

With such a strong display of power from both parties before they eventually collide in a WWE Title match at the Grandest Stage of Them All, Ricochet was destined to become a sacrificial lamb for the sake of the bigger picture.
