10 Serious Problems With WWE Right Now

7. No Direction For Brock Lesnar

Speaking of Lesnar, it's been an up-and-down few years for him. When he ended The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania XXX, he immediately became the top superstar in the company. He captured the WWE World Championship in his next match, and when he finally lost it, it was without being pinned.

Since then, though, WWE hasn't seemed to know what to do with Lesnar. They clearly haven't wanted to put the belt back on him, but at the same time, they haven't had him put anybody over. He's scored wins over The Undertaker, Dean Ambrose, and Randy Orton (in progressively worse matches, it should be noted), and next up is Goldberg. But what will it end up meaning?

When Lesnar first beat Undertaker, it was with the assumption that he'd put Roman Reigns over and create a new top babyface. When Reigns flopped, Lesnar ended up not putting anyone over, but his wishy-washy usage since then has diminished he worth. When his eventually does lose, it won't mean as much as it would have in 2015.
