Two weeks ago, Roman Reigns revealed his battle against Leukemia and for which he had to relinquish his Universal Championship. After that, the WWE announced that Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar were going to face each other for the vacant Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel.
Everyone thought that Strowman was going to win the Universal Championship as Lesnar is going to prepare for his upcoming UFC fight against Daniel Cormier.
However, at the Crown Jewel PPV, WWE once again took a wrong decision and made Lesnar win the championship. Again, the company will have to bear all the rage of the WWE Universe.
Now the fans are wondering why Brock Lesnar won the Universal Championship? Well, we all know that WWE are not going to answer the question, but we can take a look at some reasons why this was an awful decision.
#5 No one wants to see a part-time Universal Champion
During Lesnar's title reign as the Universal Champion, fans were angry and upset of the fact that Lesnar does not shows up on Raw and defend his title regularly.
At WrestleMania 34, everyone thought that The Beast was going to lose his title against The Big Dog, but he retained the title.
Later, at the Greatest Royal Rumble, he again did the same, and it only made the situation worse.
Finally, at SummerSlam, he lost the championship against Reigns but returned at Hell In A Cell to get a rematch.
It was clear that Reigns was going to retain his championship, but things changed when he revealed his battle against Leukemia. Strowman then became the favorite to win this championship, but The Beast won it, eventually.
Now again, history will repeat itself as Lesnar will barely show up on Raw and defend his title like any other champion.
#4 The event was already controversial
WWE already faced many problems after the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the hands of Saudi agents. The company was already under a lot of pressure from fans and politicians to cancel the event.
A majority of American fans criticized the company for continuing with the event, but the company made a tough decision to stick to their plans.
Cena and Bryan refused to work at the event, and therefore, they have replaced them with Bobby Lashley and Samoa Joe.
This event was already a controversial, and now that Lesnar has won the Universal Championship, there is going to be more controversy. Strowman's victory would not have put the controversy to rest, but it would have given another topic to the WWE Universe to talk about.
Therefore, it could have been much better if Strowman would have won the Universal Championship.
#3 It will destroy the title
Lesnar's title reign nearly destroyed the title's value, but Roman Reigns winning the title changed things. Reigns' title reign did not help the title that much, but it was at least in good hands. However, at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view, Lesnar returned to the ring only to dethrone Reigns and Strowman.
Lesnar is a part-timer, and we know that he won't defend his title on every pay-per-view, but WWE still decided to go ahead with their decision and Lesnar continued to retain his title against the likes of Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns.
The title was already suffering a lot, and before it could recover completely, Lesnar won the title again. Everyone knows that we are barely going to see any Universal Championship match in the WWE and it merely means that the title is going to lose its value again.
#2 Survivor Series rematch
Last year, Lesnar was the Universal Champion, and AJ Styles was the WWE Champion. This year as well, Lesnar and Styles are the champions and the Survivor Series pay-per-view is just weeks away.
This means that again we will see the same Champion vs. Champion match between Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles.
Fans do like to see matches between two big superstars, but they do not want the same match to happen again. Last year, when Styles and Lesnar faced each other, the fans were happy, but this will not be the case again.
Survivor Series is the only event where wrestlers from different brands face each other, and this is why things need to be fresh and exciting.
This is one of the main reasons why Strowman should have won the Universal Championship as it would have led us to an exciting match between him and Styles.
#1 Strowman deserves to be the champion
This is one of the most important reasons behind why the Monster Among Men should have won the Universal Championship. He is one of the fan favorites who is yet to win a singles title in the company.
He does good work in the ring as well as on the microphone too, and for this, he should have been awarded the title. He is over with the fans but is yet to become a main event superstar. This could have been done if WWE's creative team had decided to make him the Universal Champion.
He is a full-time wrestler who could have defend the Universal title on a weekly basis, and brought prestige back to the title.
Do you think Braun Strowman is going to win the Universal Championship anytime soon? Share your thoughts in the comments.
