#4. Booker T does not want to see a Champion vs. Champion match at WrestleMania 38

Despite winning the WWE Championship, Brock Lesnar's saga with Roman Reigns is far from over. The two are reportedly set to clash at WrestleMania, with a title-for-title stipulation mildly possible.

Booker T is not a fan of the idea, stating that nobody would be happy in such a stipulation. Here is what he said about it on the Hall of Fame podcast:

"I don't want to see that match right now, especially title vs. title. One of those guys has to be going for the title in order to make it right, in order to make it feel like somebody really has something to lose or somebody has something to fight for. Title vs. title, I'm thinking, something can happen, both guys walk away with their titles, nobody leaves happy. We do not want to book ourselves in a corner that way," said Booker T.

The Hall of Famer is seemingly open to the idea of Brock Lesnar losing his title to Bobby Lashley, before winning the Royal Rumble Match and challenging Reigns at WrestleMania. However, he did mention The Beast Incarnate's reign shouldn't end so quickly.


#3. Brock Lesnar breaks Hulk Hogan's historic WWE record

Brock Lesnar's win at Day 1 was quite historic. Not only has he equaled Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan's tally of six WWE title wins, but The Beast Incarnate has also broken the latter's long-standing record.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Lesnar now holds the record for the longest time between his first WWE Championship win and his latest one. The Beast Incarnate's first reign came in 2002, which makes it 20 years between the two.

Hogan previously held the record at 18 years, with his first WWE title win in 1984 and his latest in 2002. Brock Lesnar wrestled on the same card where The Hulkster won his last world title. Nobody would have predicted that he would be the Champion two decades later.

An unexpected name just challenged Randy Orton RIGHT HERE.
