#1 Worst: Another no show by Brock Lesnar

The lack of a full-time Universal Champion is detrimental to storytelling

No, Lesnar was not advertised to be on this episode of RAW anyway. However, his absence does hurt the heavily mismatched contest between him and Jinder Mahal.

It's not a match that the WWE Universe has really been looking forward to, in any case. Everyone expects it to be a squash affair, honestly.

And well, the champion wasn't around to build any heat either. Jinder Mahal may have to create excitement for the big match, all on his own, on SmackDown Live.

Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman created interest in their respective matches with Brock Lesnar, as they hailed from the same brand as Lesnar and had made him look rather vulnerable prior to their matches. We don't see this happening with Jinder Mahal.
