It was the last RAW before Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia and the anticipation sky-high. After a substandard edition of the red brand last week, the company was expected to deliver a better episode of the red brand. WWE did not disappoint the fans as we saw a blockbuster episode of RAW with some interesting segments and impressive matches.
Paul Heyman already announced on social media that his client Brock Lesnar would cash in the Money in the Bank contract on RAW this week. Seth Rollins appeared on the Miz TV. The Beast was in the arena and it made us believe that Lesnar could cash in the contract.
Lesnar entered the ring after Baron Corbin hit an End of Days to Seth Rollins. The former Universal Champion hit a low blow followed by some multiple chair shots. Rollins also ate some German Suplexes and a vicious F5 on the floor.
Lesnar had golden chance to become the Universal Champion on RAW and he didn't do it. Here we discuss three possible theories why Brock Lesnar refused to cash in the Money in the Bank contract on RAW this week.
#3 To cash in the contract in Saudi Arabia
It is the second time Brock Lesnar failed to keep his promise in two weeks. The Beast Incarnate announced to choose his preferred World Champion to cash in the Money in the Bank contract last week but he didn't do it. Moreover, he continued to play his mind games this week when he didn't cash in the briefcase on RAW.
Following the vicious attack on Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman was shouting to cash in the contract on Rollins but Lesnar did not agree with his advocate. Lesnar kept telling 'Friday' as Super ShowDown is set to take place on Friday this week.
Lesnar is advertised for Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, Lesnar doesn't have a match in Jeddah but Lesnar's decision on RAW could help him to steal the show at Super ShowDown. Rollins will face Baron Corbin and it is not likely to be a cakewalk for the Beastslayer. Since Rollins stole the show after cashing in the contract at WrestleMania 31, the Beast might be planning to take revenge at Super ShowDown.
#2 To continue the new gimmick
There is no denying that Brock Lesnar's new gimmick has garnered the attention of WWE Universe. As a matter of fact, the Brock Party character has been the highlight of the red brand in the last couple of weeks. The Beast Incarnate has been entertaining after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase at XL center last month.
Lesnar is regarded as one of the most feared men in the history of Vince McMahon's company. He has a dominant persona with a successful MMA career. However, the scenario has been different in the last few weeks and Lesnar has rejuvenated his character by showing his comic side.
Brock Lesnar turned his Money in the Bank briefcase into a boombox. In fact, he got a design of boombox on the briefcase last week. The former Universal Champion was dancing with the briefcase and he showed his dance moves in the squared circle. Though Lensar was in the destructive mood this week, he still held the briefcase like a boombox after dismantling Seth Rollins in the ring.
Considering the Money in the Bank briefcase plays an important role in his new gimmick, he might not cash in the contract anytime soon. We might see more of the fun-loving Lesnar before he decides to cash in the contract.
#1 Brock Lesnar might go for Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston is scheduled to face Dolph Ziggler at Super ShowDown this week. Kingston has been a fighting champion who defended the belt multiple times. Since winning the most coveted prize of the blue brand at Showcase of Immortals, Kingston has not lost a match. Considering his current momentum, he is expected to retain the belt in Saudi Arabia.
It is no secret that Money in the Bank briefcase allows the holder to cash in the contract on either of the two World Champions. Apart from confronting Seth Rollins, Lesnar also confronted Kofi Kingston on RAW. Hence, it will not be surprising if Lesnar decides to go for the WWE World Championship.
Brock Lesnar has been in the Universal Title picture for the last two years. The Beast Incarnate is a two-time Universal Champion and he is also the longest reigning Universal Champion. As a result, it is tedious for the fans to see him in the Universal Title picture. Considering SmackDown Live will move to Fox in October, Lesnar could be a great addition for the blue brand if he wins the WWE World Title.
