According to rumors, the original plan was to have Seth Rollins defend his Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar

In a surprise turn of events, Baron Corbin won a #1 contender's fatal-4 way match on the last episode of RAW to earn a shot at Seth Rollins' Universal title at WWE Super ShowDown. The fans and the rumors mills expected the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar to be in Corbin's position next Friday but WWE has taken the unexpected route once again.

Since the day WWE announced that Saudi Arabia will host a pay-per-view in mid-2019, the rumors were rife that the Beast Slayer Seth Rollins will put his title on the line against Brock Lesnar. The arena advertised this match as well, and even the Wrestling Observer Radio confirmed this rumor.

#3 MITB cash-in after the match

Brock Lesnar won the Money In The Bank ladder match a few weeks ago to emerge as the surprise Mr. Money In The Bank of 2019. The Conqueror has been teasing a cash-in on recent RAW episodes but everyone knows that WWE will never book a Brock Lesnar match on free TV.

They have made Brock Lesnar matches feel like a big deal. Hence, the Beast will certainly cash-in his contract on a pay-per-view. With Super ShowDown approaching, it would be good if WWE books a cash-in match on the pay-per-view because the fans will soon start complaining about the part-timer holding the MITB contract.

Lesnar has had an entertaining reign as Mr. Money In The Bank but if WWE extends this storyline until SummerSlam, then it is bound to test the patience of the fans.

It is strange to note that Brock Lesnar was heavily advertised by WWE to be a part of the Saudi Arabia show, but we are just 1 week away from the show and Brock is yet to make it to the match card. It seems like WWE wants Brock Lesnar to fight in a legendary match at Saudi Arabia.

Surely, they won't have him take part in the 50-Man Battle Royal but they can add him in the match between The Undertaker and Goldberg. I mean the match does not have any storyline and the fans would not mind much if the Beast collides with two of his greatest rivals at Super ShowDown.

In the latest WWE NEWS, There is also a possibility that WWE may bring back a legend just for the Saudi Arabia show and announce a match between him and Lesnar. WWE can announce that Lesnar will face a mystery opponent at Super ShowDown and that opponent can be anyone from Sting to The Great Khali.

The one thing which we learned from the two Saudi Arabia shows conducted last year is that anything can happen in Saudi Arabia. Nobody on earth predicted Shane McMahon to win the inaugural WWE World Cup at Crown Jewel just like no one believed that WWE would give away the Universal title to Brock Lesnar once again.

In the latest WWE NEWS, Brock Lesnar can step in Baron Corbin's position after 'someone' attacks him backstage and hangs him upside down. This could really spice up things on WWE TV as the same 'someone' had helped Brock Lesnar to win the Money In The Bank briefcase by hanging Sami Zayn upside down.

The WWE Universe can be informed that the man replacing Baron Corbin is cashing in his MITB briefcase and that it is none other than Brock Lesnar. I personally feel that this is the way WWE is going to book the Universal title because they had plans for a Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar match at Super Showdown.

And, to be frank, Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin is not that big of a match than Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar. Thus, it is best for business if WWE books Lesnar vs Rollins at Super ShowDown.
