WWE SummerSlam 2022: 10 Things That Must Happen

1. Brock Lesnar Takes The Belt & Walks Out

...it would.

Obviously, a lot of wrestling fans are gonna hate this idea, but think about what just happened: Brock Lesnar heard that Vince McMahon was leaving the company and walked out before Friday's SmackDown. 'The Beast' returned, but some believe his future is still up in the air.

WWE can use that to their advantage by having Lesnar beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Title(s), then blowing a kiss to the company like CM Punk did to Vince back at MITB 2011. Cue questions, and cue chaos as the Triple H/Stephanie McMahon/Nick Khan era begins with controversy.

The actual match needs to have several moments where Reigns thinks he has it won but Brock rises up like the Terminator. If he's game, Paul Heyman could also take a carefully-planned bump to sell The Bloodline's desperation.

Again, some won't like this, because Roman's reign has been terrific and everyone is hanging their hat on a WrestleMania match vs. The Rock. WWE can still get there in the end though. Capitalising on Brock's drama sounds smart for now.
