10 Directions For New WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar
3. Beast Vs. Monster
By this point, Brock would have technically run through most of Raw’s main event scene. He’d be enjoying what should comfortably be the best Universal Title reign of the belt’s short lifespan, and would be the company’s biggest star by a landslide. Credible opponents would be thin on the ground, but there’d still be one major option on the table, and that’s Braun Strowman.
Strowman has undoubtedly fallen away since losing to Roman Reigns at Fastlane, but it won’t take much to get him back to the level he was at in January. If Braun crushes a cluster of Raw’s most credible babyfaces over the coming months, he’ll be more than ready for a Universal Title program, and losing to Brock will do him no harm whatsoever.
Lesnar and Strowman had an awkward, uncooperative clash in the 2016 Royal Rumble, but Braun has improved leaps and bounds since then. Lesnar is one of only a handful of WWE wrestlers who could actually lift him too, and the sight of Strowman flying across the ring on a German Suplex would make for a spectacular visual. It wouldn’t be the prettiest match, but it’d be suitably brutal, and Strowman would be a rare opponent that Lesnar couldn’t just bully into submission.
