5 reasons why WWE has booked Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series 2019 for the WWE Championship 

#2 To do what Cain Velasquez couldn’t do

Lesnar picked up the victory in just 88 seconds

At Crown Jewel, Cain Velasquez took on Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in Saudi Arabia. Many fans were hoping that Velasquez would give Lesnar a good beating, however, things did not work out the way they would’ve liked.

Velasquez was first introduced to the WWE Universe when he walked in during the Season Premiere of SmackDown to avenge the beating Lesnar handed to Rey Mysterio and his son. However, he was unable to finish the job at Crown Jewel as he was unable to punish Lesnar and take his Championship away from him.

This prompted Mysterio to dig down deep and come out to attack Lesnar himself as a father whose son has suffered at the hands of The Beast multiple times.

We’ve already seen Mysterio and Lesnar lock horns in WWE before, and with much more experience under his belt, Mysterio may be able to outsmart The Beast, unlike Velasquez.

Mysterio is the right man to take this storyline forward as he will work well to elongate the storyline and possibly give fans a great moment to remember if he beats Brock Lesnar and takes his Championship away from him.
