Ups and Downs From Extreme Rules

Down: Brock Lesnar is on top of the mountain again

Just as we thought that the night was going to end on a high note, Brock Lesnar crashed the party. After a back and forth contest, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch successfully defended their respective titles in the Winners Take All Extreme Rules match against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans. When the Beast in the Bank raced to the ring, fans held their breath.

However, fans were displeased when Lesnar successfully cashed-in his Money in the Bank contract to become the new Universal Champion. It was a decision that raised many eyebrows. It took Rollins so long to finally slay the Beast only for the Beast to get his title back a few months later. It was so fascinating to see a Universal Champion compete on a weekly basis, but Lesnar's victory put an end to that.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

The Universal Championship has yet another part-time holder, which is not what the title needs. Rollins and Lesnar will continue their feud after Extreme Rules, perhaps beyond SummerSlam. Although Rollins may win back the title, Lesnar shouldn't have won it in the first place.
