#4 No Title Changes

Maybe it was just too much to expect one of the three major title reigns to come to an end on Sunday night.

In hindsight, the booking choices made real logical sense. Adam Cole seems to be building for a future NXT Championship feud with Tommaso Ciampa, so it makes very little sense to have him lose the title now.

Brock Lesnar never was going to lose his title after a month to an underdog like Rey Mysterio. And, it would be very bad for The Fiend’s character to lose so quickly to Daniel Bryan after a WWE Universal Championship reign of less then a full month. I do know we all could still do without that annoying red light for all of his matches, though.

It makes you wonder why the WWE didn’t simply give us a match between Adam Cole, The Fiend and Brock Lesnar on Sunday night. It would have been a fun match with a lot more unpredictable booking options. But I guess sometimes the real surprise is simply extending title reigns for your world champions. It was an interesting choice on a very unique night of professional wrestling.
