10 WWE Champions Who Vanished Without A Trace After WrestleMania

10. Brock Lesnar - 2022

Brock Lesnar walked into WrestleMania 38 as WWE Champion and left as the loser of a historic title unification match against Roman Reigns. The Biggest WrestleMania Match of All Time was hyped to the moon, but the bout itself was underwhelming — and Lesnar’s post-Mania presence was even more so.

After the loss, Brock didn’t show up on Raw the next night. Or the week after. Or the week after that. In fact, he was gone for months, only resurfacing in July to reignite a feud with Reigns for SummerSlam. For a guy who had just main-evented the biggest show of the year, his disappearance was jarring.

Sure, Brock’s a part-timer — but this was a unification match. You’d think WWE would want to keep him in the mix, even in a limited capacity. Instead, he vanished like a ghost, leaving Roman to carry both belts and fans to wonder what the point of the whole thing even was.
