5 reasons why Brock Lesnar is not getting his rematch against Seth Rollins after SummerSlam 2019

Brock Lesnar dropped the title to Seth Rollins at WWE SummerSlam on Sunday. His advocate, Paul Heyman is now trying to get him a rematch for the title but WWE management is not letting him have one.

Heyman tweeted about the issue and said

My client #BrockLesnar and I have been apprised "no rematch will be granted" against WWE's Universal Heavyweight Champion #SethRollins!!! We find this decision to be arbitrary and patently unfair!

— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) August 12, 2019

Charly Caruso tried to get the advocate's thoughts on the situation and for the first time, in a really long time, Heyman was lost for words.

While there are no official reasons for not giving Lesnar a rematchjust yet, we take a look a the 5 possible reasons for it:

---

#5 – Moving away from Rollins-Lesnar duopoly over the WWE Universal Title

Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar as SummerSlam last year to finally end his 504 days reign as the Universal Champion. However, after just over 2 months The Big Dog had to vacate the title due to unfortunate circumstances.

Since then, the title has been going back and forth between the hands of Rollins and Lesnar for nearly a year now! Braun Strowman was in the title picture when Reigns relinquished it, but after that one squash match at WWE Crown Jewel last year, it's only been Seth and Brock.

AJ Styles did get one opportunity at Money in the Bank, and that was about it. Baron Corbin was in the title picture too but it was clear that he was never going to be handed the title anytime soon. Nobody else, who is worthy enough, has got a fair shot at the title and the feud between Rollins and Brock Lesnar was just getting boring.

The two have had a go at each other for a long time now and they really have nothing left to offer together. It's tiome for a new challenger for Rollins and maybe a new champion too.

#4 – Paul Heyman is not in favour of it

The 'perfect' character

While on-screen it might seem like Paul Heyman is doing all he can to get Brock Lesnar a rematch, the RAW Executive Producer might be one the reasons why his client isn't in the title shot anymore.

Sportskeeda's very own, Tom Colohue reports on Dropkick DiSKussions Podcast that Heyman was not in favour of keeping the title on Lesnar. He wants to work with a fighting champion and knows that it is not possible with Brock.

Colohue said: "At this point, Vince McMahon is not in charge of the direction of this particular feud. Paul Heyman is in charge of RAW now. Paul Heyman knows that you can't have someone vanishing with the title so long. He's seen it; he's seen the effect of it."

It clear that Heyman will continue as Lesnar's advocate on screen but his backstage role will not be making his client happy.

#3 – The WWE Universe doesn't want to see Brock Lesnar as champion again

WWE Universe is not keen

Honestly, as I mentioned before, the Rollins vs Lesnar rivalry has been dragged on for a long time now. The two have done all they can, and there is nothing left for them to get out of this feud.

The majority of the WWE Universe also shares the thought, but a more critical factor is that they don't want Lesnar as the champion any more. The Beast Incarnate held the title for 504 days before dropping it to Reigns at SummerSlam last year and in total, has held the title 686 days.

While nobody really complains about his matches, it is just the number of appearances he makes while he is a champion that is questioned. He is hardly at the TV shows and only pops up in the go-home episodes or after the PPV to celebrate his win.

The WWE Universe has made it clear, at the arena and on social media, that they are not interested in seeing the title around Brock's waist and WWE might be finally listening to them.

#2 – WWE wants him to 'earn' it again

Another opportunity to be 'created'?

WWE creative might just squeeze in one more Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar match before moving on from the feud. They did give him the Money in the Bank contract out of nowhere earlier this year, so it won't be a surprise if he wins the King of the Ring tournament too.

The other plan for Lesnar would be for him to continue beating up Rollins week in and week out before the management agrees to hand him one more opportunity. He's certainly not going to go the Christian way and chant 'one more match' every time he is on TV; Brock will just do what he's best at.

While this is a possibility right now, we really hope WWE doesn't go down this path as the fans are clearly not in favour of it and will never be.

#1 – Sticking by the 'new rules' the McMahon family made

Sticking by their rules

A part of the McMahon family's “fresh start” plans was to do away with the automatic rematch clause. Triple H clearly stated that the rule was abolished and there were going to be no handouts to the superstars anymore.

Talking to Rollins, who had lost his Intercontinental Champions, at that time, Hunter said: ”Nothing is going to be handed to anybody anymore. There is going to be no automatic anything. Which is why I’m here to tell you that your automatic rematch for the Intercontinental championship that you think was going to happen here tonight is not going to happen.”

This might just be the rule that is stopping Brock Lesnar from getting a rematch too. Another way for WWE to show that WWE Universe that they treat everyone equally and there are no ‘special rules’ in place for the top stars.
