#4 To make the WWE Championship as equal and relevant as the Universal Championship
There was a time when the WWE Championship was perhaps the single-most greatest title in the history of sports entertainment.
With the inception of the Universal Championship on Monday Night Raw, the most coveted prize in sports entertainment has been sidelined to mid-card spots.
Since Vince McMahon lays more focus on the red brand, booking such a war to close the main event certainly made the WWE Champion feel as equal as the Universal Champion.
There's no denying that the fans have legitimately criticized the idea of seeing the WWE Championship taking spots that belonged to the mid-card division, bringing this fight to life solidified the title Bryan was representing.
While Brock Lesnar will go back into isolation after this victory, Bryan's effort would be applauded and make him and the WWE Championship even a bigger deal.
