5 reasons why AJ Styles should beat Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series

#5 Make the WWE Championship prestigious again

Can AJ Styles make the WWE Championship once again the richest prize in the company?

Although Jinder Mahal’s last title defence was his best performance as WWE Champion, there’s no denying that his Championship run didn’t elevate himself or Smackdown Live. Due to being bogged down by WWE’s tired booking of a foreigner stereotype, the WWE Championship was regulated to being the second most important title on the show.

The WWE Title has been in a rut ever since it was taken off Styles at the Royal Rumble. Short reigns by Cena, Orton and Wyatt have contributed to the diminished state of the title.

At Survivor Series, there will be more eyes on Raw’s top champion and Smackdown Live’s top champion than the title itself. WWE should not miss this opportunity to elevate the WWE Championship.

The Universal title matches have produced some of the most intense main events this year, as Lesnar has faced powerful challenges from Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns. Thus, a triumph for Lesnar will do nothing for the Universal Title.

AJ Styles' first run with the WWE title was an excellent showcase of his ability to elevate an entire programme. Therefore, his second reign should start off with a thunderous victory, as a win for Styles is a step in the right direction for the WWE Championship.
