10 Predicted End Dates For WWE’s Big Pushes

9. Brock Lesnar

This is why you should probably change your outlook: mere weeks after Seth Rollins had slain the Beast, the Beast returned very much unaffected by this supposed storyline write-off, signalling an end to the end of Brock Lesnar's Universal Title stranglehold.

Usually, Vince McMahon waits a good few months before pressing send on his "U awake?" text and inviting him to SummerSlam. Things have changed now. Disastrous ratings and sweet Saudi riyal have accelerated Lesnar's return, and the Saudi General Sports Authority's obscene wealth makes it so that Brock need not even pretend he's ever going to step back into the Octagon.

Brock Lesnar isn't going to "put over the full-time roster". Brock Lesnar is going to continue to maraud all over WWE because that's where the apparent heat is: Vince wants you to receive Lesnar as a mercenary more powerful than any other performer - literally, at Money In The Bank, all of them put together - for the express purpose of getting behind his babyface opponent.

Who he then proceeds to destroy, and often embarrass.

??????

Profit.

But there is profit, that's the thing.

Predicted End Date: When technology evolves to a point at which you can dream music into your mind with a single thought, boom box Lesnar will still be rocking out on RAW.
