Brock in the Bank

3 reasons why Brock Lesnar should cash in on Kofi Kingston

Brock Lesnar won the Money in the Bank ladder match. Indeed, the Beast Incarnate, who was not even a part of the match-up, ended up winning the prestigious briefcase which holds a priceless contract.

The briefcase allows the Beast to pick a champion, a title, a place and a time of his own choosing for a 1-on-1 championship match.

Brock Lesnar held the Universal Championship for close to two years combined, in his two reigns starting from Wrestlemania 33 to Wrestlemania 35. Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship reign was ended by the "Beast Slayer" Seth Rollins last month.

WWE's decision to give Money in the Bank briefcase to Brock Lesnar has spawned a lot of controversy, and the WWE Universe are not excited to see the Beast go through yet another part-time run win the championship.

#3 Declining Ratings

Brock is a boon for ratings, and you can't teach that

Obviously, declining ratings does not necessarily mean that Kofi Kingston is at fault. The inability of WWE to create superstars post-John Cena has been the major reason behind the lack of main-event tier talent in WWE currently.

The falling ratings have forced WWE to introduce the Wild Card Rule wherein top superstars like Roman Reigns, Kofi Kingston, Becky Lynch are allowed to appear on both shows.

Brock Lesnar is one of the last remaining draws in the company, and giving him the championship will be a major factor to bring in the casual audiences.

Kofi Kingston has won several matches in his title run, and has had a dominant showing as the WWE Champion. Who better to displace a dominant champion than the Beast himself?

Brock Lesnar's appearances will surely increase the ratings, and indulge fans from the Attitude Era, Ruthless Aggression Era, and the Current Era as well.

#2 The Universal Championship has had enough of the Beast!

The Beast has held the Universal Championship for far too long!

Brock Lesnar first won the Universal Championship in 2017 by defeating Goldberg at Wrestlemania. He held the title for more than five hundred days before losing to the Big Dog Roman Reigns at Summerslam 2018.

Due to Roman Reigns getting ill, Brock Lesnar was once again given a run with the Universal Championship at the expense of Braun Strowman. Lesnar held the title in his second reign for close to six months before succumbing to the Beastslayer Seth Rollins last month.

Brock Lesnar has an opportunity to cash in on the Universal Championship once again. However, close to seven hundred days with the Universal Championship has soured the WWE Universe on Brock Lesnar with the Big Red Belt.

If Brock Lesnar is going to cash in the briefcase soon, it should be on the WWE Championship, a title he has not held for over four years now.

#1 Smackdown's move to FOX

What does the FOX say?

Smackdown is moving to FOX in October, which is a significant change for WWE programming. FOX is one of the bigger channels in USA, and WWE has its work cut out to fetch higher ratings.

Brock Lesnar was one of the top draws for UFC in late 2000s on FOX, and Brock Lesnar returning to FOX on Smackdown Live will be a huge boost for WWE. Imagine Brock Lesnar cashing in on Kofi Kingston on the very first episode of Smackdown Live on FOX.

It will get the audiences talking, and will be the perfect start for WWE on FOX programming. WWE has always been a product filled with big moments, and Lesnar winning the WWE Championship on the very first night will be a huge moment.
