5 Reasons AJ Styles May Defeat Brock Lesnar At Survivor Series 

The world was dismayed when Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman at WWE Crown Jewel. He is once again, your Universal Champion of the world.

And from the looks of it, he will be king of the mountain for a very long time. It's not like he will be defending his title regularly, to even run the risk of losing his prize.

But the next pit stop before Lesnar is a big rematch. 'The Beast Incarnate' will lock horns with 'The Phenomenal One', AJ Styles at Survivor Series. If you remember, these men clashed last year and put on a match to remember, for the WWE Universe.

In my opinion, when these two men collide once more, AJ Styles will come out on top. I know some of you may think that I've lost my marbles, but hear me out.

Here are 5 reasons that justify AJ Styles winning.

#5 To nullify the damage done at Crown Jewel

Fans were not happy that Lesnar became the Universal Champion again

Those of you that visit Sportskeeda Wrestling regularly (hello, regulars) know that I've been doing this for a while.

In all my time writing about and reviewing sports entertainment I've never seen the kind of backlash from the WWE fanbase, that I saw for Crown Jewel. To say that people did not enjoy the show would be a massive understatement indeed.

And most of their frustration stems from the fact that Brock Lesnar is the Universal Champion yet again. His last reign wasn't the most prolific and fans were relieved when Roman Reigns actually won the prize. Yes, Lesnar's part-time schedule actually helped get Reigns cheered.

I think WWE may want to give their fans a feel-good moment with Styles defeating Brock Lesnar. Maybe that would make fans less upset!

#4 To protect Ronda Rousey

WWE may want to make Rousey look dominant against Becky Lynch

I think there's far more value in Ronda Rousey than there is in Brock Lesnar, at least right now.

The whole division is built around the woman and she's carried the belt with pride. Rousey may not work a full-time schedule, but she's on RAW almost every other week anyway. She goes up against Becky Lynch at Survivor Series 2018.

Now WWE may want to give fans a feel-good moment with Lynch defeating Rousey and standing tall and proud.

But I have a feeling that Rousey has been so protected, that she will be the one to defeat Becky Lynch. It's unlikely that WWE will have RAW win both the women's and men's matches.

As a result, it's all too likely that Styles will win the men's contest, while Rousey wins the women's division match. The exact opposite happened last year.

#3 Lesnar won last year

WWE may not want Lesnar to win twice in a row!

Everyone expected the Brock Lesnar vs. AJ Styles match last year to be a complete squash. But Styles put on a fight against the Beast and took him to his limit.

I was thrilled to see that Styles had been booked like a champion. This is indeed startling because SmackDown has always been treated as the B-Show in years past.

However, it was Brock Lesnar that eventually won the big match. And now, when the two men collide again, WWE may want AJ Styles to pick up a win against The Beast. This would lend credibility to one of the longest reigning Champions in WWE history.

This is a decision that fans would get behind. They will be cheering for AJ Styles to cause the biggest upset of the year.

Well, other than Shane McMahon winning the WWE World Cup, that is.

#2 No title is on the line

Lesnar will not lose his Championship, with this loss

The stakes may be high in terms of brand pride. But otherwise, there are no real stakes on the line when Brock Lesnar squares off with AJ Styles at Survivor Series. Either man could lose the contest and still remain Champion, for many weeks on end.

And this is precisely why I can imagine Brock Lesnar taking the pin against AJ Styles. Even if he were to lose the match, it would just be a Survivor Series statistic and really, little more. It will not mean a change of titles from one superstar to another.

AJ Styles is being booked as a babyface, bold, tough competitor and a victory over Lesnar will push him to the top of the mountain. Lesnar is being booked as a coward and so really does not even need this big win.

#1 The possibility of interference

Could Bobby Lashley cost Brock Lesnar the match against Styles?

Yes, AJ Styles is one of the most protected WWE superstars in the roster, at the moment. He defeated competitors like Shinsuke Nakamura and Samoa Joe with utmost ease, even though they both did their very best to get into his head. But the man is not nearly as protected as Brock Lesnar. It's very rare indeed to see Lesnar take a pin.

But then again, AJ Styles may not necessarily even win this big match clean. Someone like Strowman or Lashley could interfere and cost him the victory.

The Lashley vs. Lesnar feud has been long pending and this may be a way for it to get started following Survivor Series.

Of course, everything I've outlined here is mere guesswork. If you believe otherwise, let me know in the comments below.
