5 Possible Directions For Brock Lesnar As WWE's Mr Money In The Bank

The Beast has returned, and now has a guaranteed title shot. The question is: when?

After Money In The Bank 2019, we were left with one burning question: how and when will Brock Lesnar cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase? There are a number of options that immediately present themselves to the Beast Incarnate, with each of them all but guaranteeing him another main championship reign at the top of the card.

Lesnar has the key to his own success in his hands and only has to decide when he is going to use it. Many thought giving the briefcase to an already established star such as Lesnar would damage the integrity of it, with some going as far to say that he stole the spotlight from many deserving superstars that are not as high on the card as himself. However, it seems as though the decision to give Brock (and, by default, Paul Heyman) the contract has been a good one.

Since the pay-per-view, Lesnar has been genuinely entertaining with the given storyline, reminding us that he can cash-in at any time and using this to his advantage from a narrative point of view.

Only time will tell just how successful Lesnar's run as Mr 'Beast in the Bank' will be, so here are a few ways that he could make the most of his win.

5. Hold The Briefcase Until The Money In The Bank 2020 Go-Home Show

This is the least likely of these options, but Brock Lesnar could keep his briefcase safe until 2020. We've seen how entertaining Lesnar and Paul Heyman can be with the added gift of the Money in the Bank briefcase, after an excellent segment on Monday Night Raw. Paul Heyman continued to impress the following night on SmackDown, teasing a cash-in on Kofi Kingston, ensuring that Brock Lesnar will be imprinted on the back of the champ's mind.

Lesnar is truly compelling as Mr Money in the Bank, which is not a sentence I ever thought I'd say, but since MITB Lesnar has been entertaining to watch, and if given enough time, this could become one of the highlights of WWE's calendar this year.

The premise of Brock Lesnar potentially turning up at any show, at any given time breathes new life into his character, after many members of the WWE Universe appeared to grow bored of his 'Suplex City' gimmick. With Heyman at his side, Lesnar could become much more relevant and entertaining than he has been in the last four years, which is promising.

Should Lesnar carry the briefcase for the months to come, he could draw many more viewers to each WWE show, purely with the chance that he may cash in one of the main champions on either show - and Heyman can sell that every single week.
