It's been a very different SmackDown on FOX than the one that was advertised before this week's show. And this is because, due to various factors, a majority of WWE Superstars could not make it back in time for SmackDown.
But one of the individuals who did is the reigning and defending WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, who kicked off the show. And then to the shock and amazement of those in attendance, he quit the Blue Brand to become a full-time member of Brand Red.
So why did Brock Lesnar become a member of the other roster? In this article, I shall explore the reasons why he's moved back to RAW from SmackDown on FOX.
Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on Lesnar moving to RAW in the section right below.
#5 To continue the red-hot storyline with Rey Mysterio
A few weeks ago, it was announced that Brock Lesnar would take on Kofi Kingston, who was the WWE Champion at the time. And as a result of this, The Beast Incarnate went into Beast Mode, and his unfortunate victims were Rey Mysterio and his son.
And ever since then, this is a rivalry that has just grown with regard to intensity and with regard to animosity, with Rey Mysterio cutting a promo at Crown Jewel where he pretty much assured the world that he was not done with Brock Lesnar for what he did to his son. Expect this feud to play out on RAW in the biggest manner possible, and it's always to do the same sooner than later because everyone's talking about the program.
Do you guys think that Rey Mysterio can upset Brock Lesnar at some point? Would you be okay with him as WWE Champion in the near future?
#4 For both brands to have their very own World Champion
One of the major developments at Crown Jewel was the crowning of a brand new Universal Champion in The Fiend. Bray Wyatt finally triumphed against Seth Rollins, something that should have happened at WWE Hell in a Cell. But as a result of Bray Wyatt becoming the Universal Champion, there arose a situation where both Champions were on SmackDown.
This led to a very interesting situation, and it was but natural that Brock Lesnar would make his way to WWE RAW as a result of the same. The Fiend and The Universal Championship will now be a part of SmackDown on FOX and I think that it's a great development in a sense, because there are a variety of top stars on SmackDown, who could take a shot at the WWE Champion.
Two World Champions on the same brand, would not have made sense!
#3 To book a Fiend vs. Lesnar match for WWE Survivor Series
Brock Lesnar is superhuman in a sense because he's a freak of nature that has always been portrayed as someone who cannot be stopped. His accolades in the world of amateur wrestling and MMA are a testament to just how good the man is.
And then, you have The Fiend, someone who is truly superhuman and almost supernatural because of the way he has been portrayed. At Survivor Series, you usually have Champion taking on Champion and this year with the inclusion of NXT, three Champions could potentially face off at Survivor Series.
And by this I mean, that we could see The Fiend vs. Adam Cole vs. Brock Lesnar. This is a dream match in a sense.
When three forces of nature collide, especially if you consider two individuals like Brock Lesnar and The Fiend, what will the eventual outcome be?
#2 To be on the same brand as Lashley
There are very few individuals who physically size up to Brock Lesnar. One Superstar who does is Bobby Lashley, someone who also had a background in MMA, much like Lesnar does. And many believe that someone like Lashley is being wasted in the current storyline with Rusev right now.
Many feel that a Superstar like Bobby Lashley should be portrayed as a fighting machine. And yet, ever since he's come up to the main roster, all he's done thus far is talk about his sisters, display his rear end to the camera, and now been in a storyline about adultery. For Lashley to live up to his potential, he really needs to take Lesnar on.
Lashley too has been very vocal about the fact that he's wanted to take Lesnar on, in a match. With both men on the same brand, it could certainly happen down the line.
#1 For Paul Heyman to be able to make appearances alongside Lesnar
One of the things that we know for certain is that Paul Heyman has an important creative role on RAW. While he has been a part of SmackDown in an on-screen capacity thus far, one knows for sure that this crazy creative genius has a far more important role on RAW.
With Brock Lesnar being on the same brand as he is, things just become a lot easier for Heyman, even as an on-screen performer, I suppose. He doesn't have to be in two different parts of the United States or even, the world, every time The Beast shows up.
This is a move that was always going to happen, the way that the draft was set up. I would even go so far as to say that there will be many more such moves in the months to come.
Is there anyone from RAW you want to see moving to SmackDown on FOX?
