7 Major Mistakes WWE Has Made With Brock Lesnar
5. Not Ending The Title Reign
Few mistakes are more notable than the fact that Brock Lesnar still is the WWE Universal Champion.
Lesnar is well past his sell-by date as a champ and as an attraction. While his hard-hitting match against Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 was perfect for what it was (a short, violent affair where Brock got his win back), no one (short of Vince McMahon) was angling for a year-long reign for the Beast.
When Braun Strowman came into the picture in summer 2017, many felt that that would be an excellent way to elevate the Monster Among Men. Braun gets the victory over Brock, and then Roman Reigns is a built-in opponent. Failing that, once it became clear we were getting Roman/Brock at WM 34, surely WWE would finally deliver the coronation they’ve been dreaming of for the past three years, right?
Right?
Instead, we have the title reign that feels like it never ends.
