#4: He is a safe option for WWE as a champion
One thing is certain when tough times dictate how to do things in the WWE: sometimes the safest option is the best.
Although it wasn't the most popular decision at the time to put the belt back on Lesnar, it was the safest option in WWE's minds to give him the title.
They're heading into Wrestlemania season and with Roman's sudden announcement, WWE had to call a lot of audibles.
Had Reigns still competed at Crown Jewel, he would have likely won. It was thought that the triple threat match would put an end to this chapter of the Lesnar/Reigns feud
He is clearly the safest option as Universal Champion in WWE's opinion. It might be unpopular, but only Finn Balor remains regarding former Universal Title holders and Vince McMahon has likely soured on him.
The other men to hold the red belt - Kevin Owens, Goldberg, Roman Reigns - are either hurt or currently not in the plans for WWE.
And although Seth Rollins is a no-brainer as the focal point of Raw, his storyline was kicked into motion the same night his Shield brother made his heartbreaking announcement.
