3 reasons why the Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez feud must not end with a 'schmoz finish'

Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Championship against Cain Velasquez at Crown Jewel, on 31st October 2019. The odds are in favor of Lesnar, as reported by Cagesideseats, for retaining his championship belt against Velasquez.

Both Superstars have a history together and their rivalry has been built around the fact that Velasquez beat The Beast in UFC, 9 years ago, for the Heavyweight Title. These two powerhouses are going to clash on once again, but this time in a WWE ring.

Fans are excited to see how this match turns out, but if we assume the aforementioned rumor to be true, it is going to cause WWE a lot of problems. Here is a list of three reasons why this match shouldn’t end in controversy, and instead with a clean finish.

As always, let us know your thoughts about this match in the comments below.

#3 Fans are already upset at how Hell in a Cell 2019 ended

Hell in a Cell featured the Universal Championship main event match between Seth Rollins and The Fiend Bray Wyatt. Both Superstars did a great job in building their rivalry for the pay-per-view and the fans had huge expectations from both Wyatt and Rollins.

A majority of fans wanted The Fiend to win the Universal Title, but WWE had other plans for him. The PPV ended with a 'schmoz' finish, when Seth Rollins hit Wyatt with a Sledgehammer and the referee declared a no contest.

The fans were furious after this finish and they went on to boo Rollins, who was a babyface in this rivalry. Even Wyatt received a lot of heat from the fans, but the dust settled down soon. However, if something similar to this happens again in a short time, it’ll create a bigger controversy than the last time and perhaps, WWE should consider a clean finish.

#2 A loss for Cain Velasquez could give way for a rubber match at WrestleMania 36

For a minute, let’s talk about reality. Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest Superstars of this era and it’s unlikely the company would take his title away in a short time. Although he lost the title very soon, this time, he has another belt belt around his waist, expect him to keep the title at least for a few months, maybe until WrestleMania 36.

He can’t lose his match clean because it would generate massive fan backlash for Cain Velasquez, who’s going to make his in-ring debut at Crown Jewel. This will be Velasquez's debut match and fans wouldn't want him to win a title this early and yet while it wouldn’t be shocking if Velasquez gets defeated by Lesnar.

Lesnar has gained shocking victories over the likes of The Undertaker, Roman Reigns and a few others, which only makes sense that he beats someone of high calibre like Velasquez. Velasquez is still an unknown face for the casual fans and if he loses his debut fight against Lesnar, WWE could use this as an opportunity to book a rubber match between them for WrestleMania 36.

#1 WWE will not want to create controversy around Crown Jewel

WWE faced massive criticism in 2018 when they partnered with the General Sports Authority of Saudi Arabia, for hosting two shows per year for the next 10 years. Last year’s Crown Jewel was controversial because WWE decided to host the show despite major pressure from American media and fans.

Even though this year’s show isn’t that controversial, WWE could hurt itself by making a mistake at the event. They have done a great job in creating the hype for Brock Lesnar vs Cain Velasquez and if this match disappoints the fans, this could hurt the overall picture.

A 'schmoz finish' will give an opportunity to media sites to raise hands at WWE and Crown Jewel, and this could be something Vince McMahon will never want to happen, especially when it’s about a Saudi Arabia pay-per-view. They have already make sure the fans will not be handed an upset during the Seth Rollins vs Bray Wyatt by making it a Falls Count Anywhere match that can’t be stopped for any reason.

Similarly, its unlikely that the Lesnar v Velasquez clash will produce any upsets or disappointsments.
