5 Reasons why Constable Corbin helped Lesnar become Universal Champion

#2 To have Braun Strowman look strong even in defeat

Even though Brock Lesnar won the match, an element of doubt still remains

Braun Strowman is one of the most protected superstars in the whole WWE roster. So is Brock Lesnar, and it's rare to ever see him take a pin.

How do you have these two behemoths square off and have them both look strong by the end of the title match?

The simple answer is that you have Corbin give Lesnar the unfair advantage. Even though Strowman lost the match, it took a shot from Corbin to do so. It also took multiple F5s from Lesnar, to have him win the Championship again.

Even though Braun Strowman lost the match, he still looked absolutely strong and vicious in defeat, and one wonders how the match would pan out without Constable Corbin's unfair interference. That, my friends, is genius booking.
