There are many problems with Brock Lesnar championship reigns in the modern age, one of which is the lack of suspense in his defences. The assumption is that Lesnar will defend the title against Braun Strowman at SummerSlam before going all the way to WrestleMania 34 to defend and lose to Roman Reigns - every title match in between loses its lustre somewhat as a result.

Brock certainly isn't going to drop the championship at Great Balls of Fire, and as such, Bray Wyatt is clearly the best option for a one-and-done championship match.
