5 Reasons Why Brock Lesnar Became Universal Champion Again

#3 WWE has other plans for Braun Strowman

Lesnar is just one step ahead of Braun Strowman right now

Yes, Braun Strowman is one of the most protected superstars in the roster right now, for sure. But the fact of the matter is that WWE may not want him to be the Universal Champion yet. They certainly do have other plans for the man right now. They want him to take on Baron Corbin first.

Corbin did, in a way, cost Strowman the match. He attacked Strowman with the Universal Championship before the bell rang. I'm sure this angle will play out on RAW in weeks that follow.

Strowman and Drew McIntyre have also been at odds in recent times. Maybe the plan is for the two men to clash before Strowman and Lesnar collide once more.

Maybe Braun Strowman will become Universal Champion one day, but not right now for certain.
