#2 As a backup for Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is currently on the shelf, nursing an injury. While he is expected to be back in time for WrestleMania, you can never tell with WWE's luck. So many top tier talents are on the shelf right now owing to injuries and WWE probably does not want to take chances.
By doing this angle, WWE has a backup plan in place in case Seth Rollins does not make it to WrestleMania. Although the match may not necessarily be as exciting, it's better than having no Universal Championship match at all on your biggest show. Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar could have a pretty good match and one that could end with Strowman as Universal Champion.
WWE has been reluctant to put the Universal Championship on Braun Strowman in the past. But if Rollins doesn't make it back in time, there may be no other way to do this.
