Money in the Bank was a stupendous pay-per-view with some action-packed matches. We saw some unforeseen surprises at XL Center but Brock Lesnar's appearance was the most shocking sight of the event. The Beast Incarnate entered the men's Money in the Bank ladder match and won the briefcase.

The ladder match had seven participants as Sami Zayn did not take part. Without a shadow of a doubt, Lesnar's victory was the most shocking moment in the history of Money in the Bank. Following the victory, it will be interesting to see if Lesnar goes after the WWE Universal Title or the WWE World Title.

Lesnar confronted Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston on RAW this week. Though the two champions provoked Lesnar to cash in the briefcase, the latter did not do anything.

Moreover, Heyman arrived on SmackDown Live to tease a cash-in of the contract but nothing happened. The last two winners of the contract were unsuccessful. Lesnar, who is one of the most dominant superstars in WWE history, is expected to cash in the contract successfully.

Since Lesnar confronted both Rollins and Kingston, he could choose either of the two superstars.

Here we discuss three reasons why Brock Lesnar should go after WWE World Champion, Kofi Kingston.


#3 SmackDown Live will move to Fox

WWE signed a new deal with Fox, which is one of the leading networks in the United States. SmackDown Live will move to Fox Network in October and it could be a big boost for the blue brand. Since RAW is called the flagship show of the company, the blue brand needs to improve the quality of the product after moving to Fox.

It is no brainer that big names help to increase the ratings, and Brock Lesnar could be a great addition to the blue brand. We already saw that Roman Reigns moved to SmackDown Live at the Superstar Shake-up. Lesnar could become a member of the blue brand if he wins the WWE World Title after cashing in the Money in the Bank contract on Kofi Kingston.

#2 Lesnar has been in the Universal Title picture for a long time

It is no secret that Brock Lesnar has been in the Universal Title picture for a long period. The former Universal Champion lost the belt to Seth Rollins at the Showcase of Immortals. However, Lesnar never got a rematch and it will be interesting to see if he manages to get a rematch at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia.

Lesnar is the only Superstar to grab the most coveted prize of the red brand twice. The Beast won the first Universal Championship at WrestleMania 33 where he defeated Goldberg.

Brock had a long reign as he held the belt 504 days. Lesnar's first Universal Title reign was the longest title run in recent history before he dropped it to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. The Beast subsequently won the belt at Crown Jewel last year.

The Beast Incarnate had two lengthy Universal Title reigns in the last two years. It would be tedious for a large number of fans to see him in the Universal Title picture again. Hence, it will be refreshing to see him as the WWE World Champion if he decides to target Kofi Kingston.

#1 Seth Rollins deserves a great run as the Universal Champion

Seth Rollins won the Universal Championship at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Rollins' first title defense was at Money in the Bank where he had an astounding bout with AJ Styles. Rollins managed to defend the belt successfully after pinning the Phenomenal One.

Though Rollins defended the belt successfully, Lesnar's Money in the Bank victory has given a headache to the Beast Slayer. Lesnar and Rollins confronted each other this week and the champion's momentum could be derailed if The Beast wins the belt after cashing in the contract.

Rollins had a remarkable run as the WWE World Champion in 2015 when he held the belt for 221 days. The title reign established Rollins as a top star of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

The current Universal Champion has garnered great momentum after winning the most coveted prize of the red brand. The Beast Slayer has rejuvenated his career as the Universal Champion. Unfortunately, the momentum could get derailed if Lesnar goes for the Universal Championship.
