Okay, I'm obviously being facetious, Lesnar kind of made the title disappear.

The only lengthy Universal Championship reign saw record be broken as Lesnar became the longest reigning World Champion in WWE in modern times, breaking the 500-day mark.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

The big question, though, should be, "How often did we see the belt?"

Brock Lesnar is an attraction, no-one can deny it - maybe that goes hand-in-hand with him NOT being on television all the time.

Much like Goldberg, though, the crowd completely turned on Brock Lesnar when he won the WWE Universal Championship and essentially held the belt hostage for over a year.

Brock Lesnar's priority always seemed to be UFC, and WWE were content on pushing him as an unbeatable Champion for that reason - but Lesnar's reign may go down as one of the worst of all time, purely because of the limited defenses and the champion being off of TV.
