10 Reasons Brock Lesnar Is The Most Hated Man In WWE
4. Hes Made The Big Belt Invisible
On August 17th 2014, the Beast Incarnate demolished WWE figurehead John Cena to become the new WWE world heavyweight champion. Lesnar defended the title against Cena at Night Of Champions a month later: since then, hes defended once again at the Royal Rumble this past January in a Triple Threat match against Cena and Seth Rollins. Between those matches, Lesnar has made the occasional appearance on RAW to help promote angles and storylines surrounding the WWEs top title. Occasional is right, though there have been 31 episodes of Monday Night Raw since he became the champion, and hes appeared on around a quarter of them. Following his title defense at Night Of Champions in September 2014, the WWE world heavyweight champion didnt appear on the next three pay per views to defend his title, and wasnt involved in any angles surrounding the title. Women on maternity leave show up for work more often than this. Placing the companys top championship on someone whos not so much a part timer as a human cameo has been terrible for the newly unified titles credibility, something WWE really dont want considering the complete lack of credibility that the Intercontinental championship and the United States championship have these days. At Survivor Series 2014, none of the companys supposed top three singles titles were defended. Thats diabolically bad pro wrestling booking. Even the Rock made regular appearances on RAW and worked three consecutive pay per views during his title run back in early 2013. To the rest of the companys roster, the WWE world heavyweight championship isnt a brass ring so much as a lead weight: its not lifting the thing but carrying it around that presents the challenge. Meanwhile, Lesnar decided not to carry it at all. His lack of interest in shoring up his championship reign isnt getting him heel heat people are just getting bored waiting for him to do something. It comes to something when casual fans ask who the champion is and you have to think for a moment before you remember.
