Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to become the new WWE Universal Champion

WWE WrestleMania 35 was an interesting period for Brock Lesnar. The Beast was the WWE Universal Champion for the majority of the time between 2017 and 2019. However, with Brock Lesnar's WWE contract set to expire after WrestleMania 35, there was a lot of discussion and rumors about Lesnar heading back to UFC.

Brock Lesnar even appeared at a UFC pay-per-view event, confronting UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier, indicating a future World Championship fight between the two.

So ahead of the Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 35, many expected Lesnar to drop the title to Rollins and exit the company.

After WrestleMania 35 was opened by host Alexa Bliss and WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, Paul Heyman interrupted and declared Brock Lesnar wished to open the show with his Universal Championship defense as he was not fighting in the scheduled main event.
