5 People who will be negatively affected by Brock Lesnar retaining the Universal Title at GRR

#2 CM Punk

Will CM Punk's historic 434-day reign be surpassed by The Beast Incarnate?

Brock Lesnar's surprise win in Jeddah Saudi Arabia puts him one step closer to beating CM Punk's historic 434-day reign back in 2013 and could be a sign that WWE actually wants The Beast Incarnate to surpass Punk's reign. Maybe WWE will use this as a mechanism to eventually get the fans behind Reigns and vilify Lesnar a bit, but that is unclear at this point

With that being said and no main event match at WrestleMania to speak of, a large part of Punk's legacy in The WWE rests within in his 434-day reign, which came to an end when he lost to The Rock at The Royal Rumble before WrestleMania 29. Punk would eventually go on to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania that year, but never won another title after that

In the end, this has got to be a huge blow to both Punk and his fans that followed him religiously throughout the historic reign and it could even diminish the lasting impact that Punk had in The WWE. Of course Punk will always have the blistering pipe bomb he cut that one night on Raw, but the biggest reign of his career might be surpassed by The Beast!
