Why Lesnar?
Why Lesnar?

The 'Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar defeated 'The Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman in a squash match to become the new and first ever 2 time Universal Champion. It was a shocking win as most of the fans expected Strowman to win the championship.

Many fans thought after Reigns had to relinquish the Universal Championship, WWE would like to place the belt on a full-time superstar, and Braun Strowman felt like a perfect choice who had all the characteristics of being the Universal Champion, but WWE decided to place the belt on Brock Lesnar.

Is this man the funniest man in wrestling?

I agree that it took many F5's to put Strowman away, but it still has hurt the credibility of Strowman as a performer, and as a threat to other superstars. Lesnar has already hurt the credibility of the Universal Championship by being a part-time wrestler, and I don't think it was the right decision to make Lesnar the champion once again.

The next time we can expect to see Lesnar defend the title will probably be at the Royal Rumble next year, or at WrestleMania 35.

I guess Vince McMahon really wants Lesnar to have that Universal Championship at UFC 230.
