#1 Brock Lesnar squashes Braun Strowman to win the Universal Championship

The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman in a squash match to become the new and first-ever 2-time Universal Champion. Although it was a shocking victory, it's not really a big surprise when you look at it from the WWE's perspective.

Lesnar has held the title for 504 days in his first reign. Considering his status as a part-timer, Lesnar has defended the title only a few times.

Of all the superstars on Raw, Brock Lesnar is the last person who should've won the title. The title should be in the hands of a fighting champion and someone who will show up on Raw every week. Lesnar is currently scheduled to face AJ Styles at Survivor Series, but it won't be for the Universal Championship.

No one is happy with Lesnar holding the title once again, because right now the next time we could expect to see him defend the title will probably be at the Royal Rumble next year or at WrestleMania 35.
