#2 Brock Lesnar

No more Universal title match until at least January.

One of the storyline consequences of Roman Reigns' battle with leukaemia is that Brock Lesnar is once again the Universal Champion. The fact that he is the second greatest Universal champ in history just shows how cursed this title has really been.

With the bigging up of his non-appearances and the lacklustre feud with Reigns, people tend to forget Lesnar's first few title defences. While he did not show up for many months in a row, the Beast instantly captivated fans in his feud with Samoa Joe.

Their match was a slugfest and laid down the marker for the absolutely incredible fatal-four-way main event of SummerSlam last year. Reigns, Joe and Braun Strowman all challenged Lesnar for the Universal title, with the match turning out brilliant.

However, it all went downhill from there. Multiple victories over Strowman were accompanied by that underwhelming 'Mania main event against Reigns. Even with all of the negatives attached to this part-timer title reign lasting over a year-long, Brock Lesnar is still the second best Universal champion.
