5 Things that must happen in WWE this January

#1 Braun Strowman defeats Brock Lesnar, becomes Universal Champion

Yes, this absolutely needs to happen at the Royal Rumble

Braun Strowman has had a good many title shots at Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. And yes, every time he has come up short. For him to be taken seriously, he needs to go on and win the big one. Having a full-time Universal Champion will only help the roster out.

Lesnar has a few UFC commitments to fulfil as well. He has a highly anticipated fight with Daniel Cormier lined up, or at least so it seems from their altercation that ensued when DC defeated Miocic. Lesnar can be off WWE TV for a while and none would really mind.
