Somehow, despite the fact that current champ Roman Reigns wasn't there again, WWE managed to sell intrigue overload in the Undisputed WWE Universal Title situation. They deserve credit for that, and for making the belt seem like something that everybody wants yesterday.

Brock Lesnar showed up to do Brock Lesnar things, Paul Heyman cut his usual top-notch pre-PPV promo, Drew McIntyre is the new number one contender (more on that to come), and Theory is still sniffing around with his MITB briefcase like an entitled little brat.

In short, there are loads of guys capable of holding the title, and that's a good thing for WWE's immediate future. Brock is first up to challenge, but McIntyre is waiting in the wings and there's the caveat of Theory being able to cash in at any time.
