#6 The Universal Title Feud Is Done

Did WWE waste the chance to build the biggest feud of the last few years?
Did WWE waste the chance to build the biggest feud of the last few years?

The Universal Title feud between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins is getting more disappointing as each week goes by, and that is not an exaggeration, as even if WWE brings in Brock Lesnar to have the craziest brawl with Rollins, it probably won't save this feud now.

And while it may seem too early to say that WWE has messed up this feud, as there is still a good few weeks for the creative team to turn this sinking ship around, it just feels like we are not going to get the WrestleMania type build to this programme truly deserves.

Some may blame Lesnar's absence for this situation; while others may blame the WWE creative team for diverting Rollins' attention from his trailing of Lesnar to another Shield reunion, whichever side of the argument you stand by, the facts don't lie, this feud is one big wasted opportunity.

As this week on Raw, Lesnar was not in the building as usual, but his trusted advocate in Pual Heyman appeared to confront Seth Rollins, and to be honest, this was a pretty good segment for what it wanted to accomplish. As Heyman was brilliant in his role, but at the end of the day, it did nothing for this title match.

As Rollins made some valid points on Lesnar struggling to beat smaller guys, while Heyman rebutted with the fact that his client had no time to prepare for these, and just before this segment could go any further Shelton Benjamin came out of nowhere to assault Rollins.

Benjamin on Raw was a huge surprise, and it makes sense as to why he wanted to help Heyman, but it just proves the earlier point that there is no consistency in this feud, WWE has these superstars doing so many things other than focusing on the main point in this narrative, the Universal Title.

The title is lost in this mix, and at this point, it seems as if no one really cares about making the title the main focus point in this narrative.
