The post-Crown Jewel edition of SmackDown kicked off with The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar accompanied by Paul Heyman serving notice to the higher-ups in WWE.

Despite conquering Cain Velasquez in less than 3 minutes, Lesnar wasn't in the best mood last night.

Over the years, The Beast Incarnate has solidified himself as a character who doesn't play by WWE's rules. Lesnar also doesn't like it when things don't go his way, which is exactly what happened when Vince McMahon denied his request to face Rey Mysterio in the squared circle.

Later on, Heyman delivered the big twist at the end of this segment - Brock Lesnar officially quite the blue brand to get his hands on Rey Mysterio during Monday Night RAW.

This entire fiasco reinforced the brand split in two positive ways: Firstly, the fact that Lesnar couldn't get his hands on a RAW superstar (Rey Mysterio) without being a part of the Red brand showed that the brand split has concrete rules after all.

Secondly, Lesnar moving over to Monday nights means that two major world champions (Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar) wouldn't be on the same brand following Crown Jewel. This reinforces the brand split by keeping an uncontrollable entity such as "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt on SmackDown.

Do you agree that Brock Lesnar quitting Friday Night SmackDown is a good booking decision?
