#2 To offer a better rivalry with Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins has been the primary opponent of Brock Lesnar this year. The feud began after Royal Rumble when Seth Rollins won the Royal Rumble match. Rollins had a choice to pick a World Champion and he chose to challenge Brock Lesnar. In all honesty, the build-up of their WrestleMania match wasn't impressive.

Due to limited appearances of Brock Lesnar, the feud didn't reach the true potential. The Beast assaulted Rollins on the RAW after Royal Rumble but the former didn't show up until a couple of weeks before WrestleMania. Meanwhile, Seth Rollins was also involved in other storylines. Rollins eventually became a Beastslayer and he burnt down the Suplex City.

Since Lesnar is the new Universal Champion, WWE could manage to tell a better story between the two men. After winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, Lesnar appeared on RAW for three consecutive weeks. If Lesnar works on more dates as the Universal Champion, the rivalry could become enthralling.
