#4 Neutralises Brock Lesnar’s ‘special’ booking

At least all the three Champions are being treated equally

Brock Lesnar’s ongoing feud with Rey Mysterio has seen both Superstars get more and more violent with each passing day. They are now set to compete in a No-Holds Barred match at Survivor Series which will test both their resilience.

When this match was first announced, it fetched a mixed response from the WWE Universe. After all, fans wanted to see the 'Beast Incarnate' square off against The Fiend. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen and it prompted fans to point out the special treatment offered to Lesnar despite his sporadic appearances as the Champion.

But the same fans quickly changed their tune when they realized that SmackDown’s most coveted prize will also be defended in a brand-specific match. Booking The Fiend vs Bryan at Survivor Series allowed the creatives to let the champions of both brands compete against a member of their own roster.

Naturally, the idea was extended to NXT as well which is why all three champions are now set to compete in Singles match to defend their respective titles.
