8 Ruthless Decisions WWE Need To Make Right Now

3. Take The Universal Title Off Brock Lesnar

As established during the intro here, Brock Lesnar is one of WWE's most valuable commodities in 2018, even on a part-time schedule. The truth is though, having a Universal Champion who only pops his head around the corner a few times each year is hardly satisfying.

Brock has done his job. His World Title reign has superseded the one enjoyed by CM Punk as the longest in modern times, and thus the only thing left for him to achieve is making sure the person who beats him for it looks like the man.

That title change, if WWE are smart, will happen over the next few months.

A breakout monster like Braun Strowman is crying out for his excellent presentation to be validated by more than a token Rumble win in Saudi Arabia. Now he's Mr. Money In The Bank, Braun is poised to capture the big one from Lesnar and become the full-time wrecking machine Raw sorely needs to counterpoint Seth Rollins' athletic performances a little further down the card.

It's high time Raw had a World Champ who, y'know, actually showed up to do more than bounce around every now and then.
