5 Interesting statistics coming out of Extreme Rules 2018

#3 The fifth consecutive show that the WWE Champion failed to main event

AJ Styles has been the WWE Champion since November when he was able to defeat Jinder Mahal in the United Kingdom, but ever since the brand split was taken away on pay-per-view WWE have been looking elsewhere for their main eventers.

Styles has failed to main event a pay-per-view since Fastlane back in March after missing his chance at WrestleMania (Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar) The Greatest Royal Rumble (Rumble match) Backlash (Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe) and Money in the Bank (Mens MITB ladder match).

This statistic is made all the more harrowing since Universal Champion Brock Lesnar hasn't performed at the past two pay-per-views, which means that WWE has favorited other titles and talent over their WWE Champion.
