5 reasons why Bray Wyatt should be the one to dethrone Brock Lesnar

Last night's Extreme Rules PPV ended with what Paul Heyman had been promising for a long while now. After Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the Mixed Tag Team match against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, Brock Lesnar made his way to the ring. Lesnar went on to pin Rollins to win the Universal Title after cashing in his Money In The Bank contract.

It's a given that Rollins would want a shot at The Beast to win back the belt, and the two Superstars are bound to face off in the near future, most certainly at SummerSlam 2019. But should Rollins put down Lesnar to get back what was once his? Or should someone else be brought into the picture?

There was an incredibly sinister entity lurking around the corner and has finally come out on tonight's Raw. This April, Wyatt's first vignette aired on WWE TV. After months of buildup, Bray Wyatt returned to Monday Night Raw. Here are 5 reasons why he should be the one to dethrone Lesnar.

#5 A dream encounter we have yet to witness

We never got this match

The closest we have got to Bray Wyatt wrestling Brock Lesnar was at WWE Roadblock 2016, which turned out to be a false promise, as the plans were changed at the last minute. Wyatt looked from ringside as Brock destroyed Luke Harper and scored an easy pin, in what was a "Handicap Match".

Fans have been clamoring for this bout for a long while now, but WWE has yet to create a storyline involving these two. The Fiend taking on The Beast would be a huge selling point for the company, and the fans would finally get to see this dream encounter.

#4 The Universal Title picture needs to be freshened up

Rollins and Corbin

Let's face it! The Monday Night Raw main event picture is currently not something to boast of. Rollins has been the cornerstone on Monday nights ever since he won the title at WrestleMania 35, before which Lesnar had held it for several months.

Rollins' dream feud with AJ Styles lasted ONE PPV, and then he went on to feud with Baron Corbin, something the WWE Universe wasn't exactly thrilled about. The Universal Title picture is currently in dire need of an overhaul, and bringing a character such as Bray Wyatt into the mix looks like a promising idea at the moment. Wyatt's promos have wowed the fans since the past 3 months. His return tonight was a big moment, and it would only get better if he eventually targets Lesnar and puts him down in the process.

#3 A tweener Wyatt could certainly work

A babyface Wyatt garnered a good response from fans

Wyatt returned on WWE TV tonight and as the crowd gasped in horror, he connected Sister Abigail on an unsuspecting Finn Balor. It's clear that Wyatt has come back as a heel and a terrifying one at that. But this doesn't mean that his character can't be tweaked any further and turned into some kind of a tweener, in order for him to be pushed towards the Universal Title and a heel Brock. Seems like Wyatt will be taking on Balor in what would be his first match in a long while.

According to reports, Balor is set to take time off after SummerSlam. This hints at a big win for Wyatt over Balor at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Once he's done with Balor, how about letting Bray set his sights on The Beast? There's no way the crowd won't pop for Wyatt taking on Lesnar and actually winning the Universal Title in the process.

#2 Lesnar's destruction story comes full circle

Lesnar defeats The Undertaker

There's a big possibility that WWE will try to push Wyatt's new character as a replacement to another dark and mysterious Superstar, The Undertaker, whose best days are behind him. This is an amazing opportunity for WWE to bring Lesnar's tale of destruction to a full circle, and turn Wyatt into something big in the process.

Lesnar's monster push truly began when he defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, after which he squashed John Cena at SummerSlam 2014. He never looked back again and is now the most dominant Superstar on the roster.

The storyline could be structured around the fact that Lesnar beat an old Taker, but could he beat a young, and incredibly dangerous Fiend, someone who is as powerful as The Undertaker in his prime? This would be kind of poetic justice for Lesnar's character, who took advantage of an old Taker and broke his legendary streak.

#1 The first step towards making a future megastar

The Fiend

Wyatt came to WWE back in 2013, and it seemed like he would emerge as one of the biggest Superstars of this generation. Somehow, creative didn't do justice to Wyatt's persona and he lost multiple major feuds in succession.

Now that he is repackaged, what would be a better way for him to make a huge impact, than by putting down one of the most dangerous wrestlers of all time? WWE has something special with Wyatt, and if handled correctly, he could carry the company for years to come. Wyatt has already made a statement upon his return, by attacking Finn Balor. After he's done with the former Universal Champion, he needs to target The Beast.

The two would have a match somewhere down the line, resulting in Wyatt becoming Universal Champion and putting the roster on notice. After months of incredible promos, WWE should go all the way with pushing Wyatt and turning him into a megastar.
