10 Totally Stupid Things WWE Has ALREADY DONE Since WrestleMania 34

Somebody else that should probably f*ck off for a bit but for entirely different reasons, Brock Lesnar has been the lone beneficiary of the latest assault on a p*ss-weak 'Roman Empire'.

Allegedly trousering $500,000 per pay-per-view and $100,000 per television appearance should keep him sweet, and WWE may keep him Universal Champion in a cynical attempt to take CM Punk's recent longevity record just as they did with his wife AJ Lee's when Nikki Bella had a death grip on the since-deceased Divas Title.

He's never earned more as a WWE Superstar, and yet never deserved less.

Samoa Joe, Bill Goldberg and AJ Styles gave 'The Beast' his best matches in 2017 were subjectively no better off for even briefly going toe-to-toe with him. Efforts elsewhere had an unshakeable air of pointlessness about them, and a No Mercy scrap with Braun Strowman was so catastrophic that the company have since done everything in their power to force fans to forget it even ever happened.

Two wins over Roman Reigns (despite the controversial nature of their Saudi Arabia cage clash) has left 'The Big Dog' digging for the bones of a successful singles run, whilst Lesnar himself is unbelievably beatable up against Raw's rank-and-file. Who could possibly take a run at him next? Or more specifically, why - in kayfabe - would they even deign it worth the hassle?
