The Universal Championship is a world championship, which is currently held by Brock Lesnar. This is his second reign as a champion, and, he has been put under the scanner by the WWE Universe. He is often cited as a 'lazy, part-timer' who hardly appears on TV and defends his title. As a result, there are many other worthy wrestlers in the WWE, who deserve to win the title, and entertain the WWE Universe much more.
Roman Reigns won the title once, but had to vacate owing to illness. However, in 2019, many wrestlers are eyeing the title, and has a good chance of winning the Championship. These wrestlers have an amazing track record, and, all of them has the calibre to deliver main-event worthy matches every week. Let us look at five such wrestlers, who must win the title in 2019.
#5 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is a former US Champion and ECW Champion in WWE. He has one of the best physiques in professional pro-wrestling today. Sadly, ever since his return, Bobby Lashley has not been able to make much impact on RAW.
Based on his past records, there is not an iota of doubt that, Bobby Lashley can be a very dominant Champion in WWE. He has an MMA backgorund, and, can squash any wrestlers with ease. He is doing an excellent job as a heel, and, with the Universal title on his shoulders, the sky should be his limit.
His story-lines featuring Lio Rush are damn entertaining, and, he knows to get the best out of his opponents. If he becomes the Universal Champion, RAW whould be much more interesting, and WWE could garner more high viewership. Therefore, Bobby Lashley owns a good chance in winning the Universal Championship in 2019.
#4 John Cena
John Cena is one such wrestler, who does not need any introduction. He is definitely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Having won 16 world titles, he should definitely be aiming to capture the Universal title, to become the single wrestler with maximum number of World Championships. That can very well happen, if he wins the Universal title in 2019.
Cena has not competed much in 2018. However, he is still 'the face that runs the place'. Therefore, it would be a masterstroke on the part of WWE, if they made him compete for the Universal title, and, let him win the gold. Cena still has a lot of potential in him, to beat the hell out of any wrestler from the roster.
Needless to say, whenever John Cena wins any Championship, the WWE Universe loves it like anything.
#3 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman is scheduled to face Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble PPV for the Universal Championship. Strowman has been fighting for the Universal Championship for a long time. However, he has not been able to fulfill his dream of holding the Championship. But, that dream can become a reality in 2019, if he defeats Lesnar for the title.
Brock won the Greatest Royal Rumble, the Money in the Bank Ladder match, the Raw Tag Team Championships in 2019. The only dream of his which is still unfulfilled, is to hold the Universal Heavyweight Championship.
He in one of the most entertaining wrestlers, and, is one of the best wrestlers in the roster currently. The creative team of WWE, along with the management should provide Strowman the necessary opportunity to grab the title.
His title reign will certainly be a good one, as it can open the doors to several new rivalries and feuds.
#2 Finn Balor
Finn Balor was the first person on this planet to capture the Universal Championship. He is a gifted athlete, but is not utilized properly on RAW. Balor, who is the longest reigning NXT Champion in WWE, has received many opportunities to prove his talent in the main roster. However, the situation can take a 180 degree turn, if WWE books him for the Universal Championship in 2019.
Balor has time and again proved, that he can take out any wrestler on his day. He has the potential, which needs to be channelised in a proper direction. If he wins the Universal title, it will be a win-win situation for both him and WWE.
He is a fan favorite wrestler, and, him winning the title would certainly help the rating to go up exponentially. Also, he can sell PPVs and is a main-event worthy wrestler. Therefore, he should win the title.
#1 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is perhaps the best gift that the WWE has gifted to the WWE Universe. He is one of the best wrestlers that the world has seen in the last decade.
Rollins is the current Intercontinental Champion, and, had an outstanding 2018. He fought in several grueling matches, and, won the hearts of the people. He is already a former WWE Champion. The only championship, he is yet to get his hands upon, is the Universal Championship.
Based on his track record, Rollins is the most deserving candidate to win the Universal Championship in 2019. He has proved in the past that he is a fighting champion, and, defended his championship several times against multiple wrestlers.
He is someone, who could bring the Universal Championship its lost glory. If he wins the title, he has the potential to become the best Universal Champion of all time.
