10 Awesome Ways Wrestling Champions Elevated Titles
1. Brock Lesnar: Made It An Attraction
While there's merit to the argument that part-timers shouldn't hold WWE's top Championships, Brock Lesnar is Brock Lesnar. Ronda Rousey aside, he's the biggest mainstream star on the WWE roster, one of the few individual wrestlers still capable of moving the needle and drawing money on his own, and also the most believable competitor on the planet. Him skipping a bunch of inconsequential Raws and C-level pay-per-views isn't ideal, but it's a small price to pay for his benefits.
Lesnar can't become oversaturated. It's literally impossible and makes him unique in a promotion delivering nine hours of original weekly programming. That he doesn't feature every week makes his appearances feel special and meaningful, enhancing both him and the belt. He's a top attraction and so is the strap. Rather than hindering the WWE product and undermining the top prize, his schedule enhances it, and Brock has become this universe's Thanos because of it.
The problem isn't that Lesnar isn't around every week; it's that WWE haven't adequately used his star power to create new headliners. This is a big, big issue, but an entirely different conversation.
