5 reasons Brock Lesnar shouldn't be WWE Universal Champion

#4 Sends a bad message to fans

Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar seem headed for a confrontation

In just one segment of RAW, we perhaps got a glimpse at Lesnar’s first two title feuds as Universal Champion.

Goldberg seemingly has no desire to claim a rematch, and Lesnar and his advocate Paul Heyman seem to have their sights set on Roman Reigns, who just defeated the Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Further, we saw that Braun Strowman has no intention of letting Lesnar focus on Reigns.

Here’s the problem with that: The fans know the WWE’s tendencies. Even if Lesnar faces Strowman at Extreme Rules in June or Bad Blood in July, it seems highly unlikely that he’d drop the belt at either of those events, with a SummerSlam matchup between him and Reigns seemingly being in the works.

So knowing that, even if Lesnar decides to show up for a feud with Strowman, fans will know that it doesn’t matter. We’ll know not to pay attention to anything related to the Universal title until the build to SummerSlam.

That’s bad news for RAW’s television ratings and storylines.
