10 Directions For New WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar

10. Increase His Visibility

While Brock’s last WWE Title run unquestionably brought prestige to the belt, it suffered through his lack of appearances. Lesnar was barely visible on WWE television, appearing on only a handful of live shows between title defences, and routinely missing several weeks of TV at a time. This resulted in a series of limp, under-developed World Title feuds, and widespread disgruntlement among the fanbase.

WWE can’t let this happen in 2017, particularly given the Universal Title’s image problem. The belt’s first champion was forced to vacate through injury, the second was incapable of winning cleanly, and the third was 50 years old and coming-off a 12-year hiatus. At this stage, the championship desperately needs a strong, visible champion, and Lesnar’s limited appearances must be upped.

He doesn’t need to appear every single week, but Lesnar should be on most shows going forward. If he’s not around, it’s vital that Paul Heyman is in the building to keep feuds boiling over and build cohesive rivalries. Anything else will see the problems of old resurface in no time, so here’s hoping WWE have learned from their prior mistakes.
