5 Problems with Braun Strowman vs Brock Lesnar at No Mercy 2017

Strowman vs Lesnar
This seems great until you start thinking more critically about it.

#3 Where does Strowman go from here?

Universal Champion Braun Strowman
This is just a pipe dream for another year, it seems.

The ultimate goal is the WWE Championship or the Universal Championship, but as previously established, that isn't going to happen for Braun Strowman.

Assuming Roman Reigns dethrones Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34, Strowman fans will have to wait at least another eight months or so just to see Strowman have another feud with Reigns to be able to win the title!

What does WWE have in mind to counteract the disappointment of seeing the Monster Among Men lose to Lesnar?

It's doubtful there's actually a plan in place as the philosophy is probably that he'll be so popular by the time they get to No Mercy that it won't matter what he does next because they'll just go with the flow and figure it out a few days before September 24th.

That type of carelessness sometimes causes major problems and forces the company to scramble at the last minute to figure out something halfway decent, and often, when that happens, they fail at accomplishing that task.

How disappointing is it going to be to see Strowman build up all this momentum, lose to Lesnar, and then mull around with nothing to do for a few weeks until they announce some lame new feud with Bray Wyatt for TLC, for example?

The glass ceiling of being the top of the division will be out of the realm of possibility for Strowman, so no matter what is presented to his fans, they'll know that it won't amount to much.

Sure, he can beat Jason Jordan and Finn Balor and others, but does any of that matter in comparison?

It will be deflating to see him go from a potential world title reign to just another face on Raw struggling to find his way onto the card.
