#3 Braun Strowman MUST win the Universal Championship

It doesn't matter how he does it. If he beats Brock Lesnar only by countout, that's fine. The most important thing is that Braun Strowman walks out of Crown Jewel with the red belt over his massive shoulder. It's long overdue, and Brock Lesnar regaining the championship would put Raw back in the mess it was before SummerSlam.

The red brand finally looks like it's heading in the right direction after six months of boredom and mediocrity following WrestleMania. To ensure that course correction, though, the top title on the show needs to be seen weekly and be put into important angles. Even during Roman Reigns' run with it, the title was overshadowed by the random Shield reunion angle.

With Braun Strowman as titleholder, a first-time ever champion vs. champion match with AJ Styles at Survivor Series would be in the immediate future. Afterward, a feud with Drew McIntyre would be in the cards, which is nothing if not an interesting prospect. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins also lurk on the periphery.

Those four stars are more than capable of carrying Monday nights. There's no need for another absentee Lesnar title reign. Choosing that course would be another disaster to a red brand that badly needs rebuilding.
