Brock Lesnar was nowhere to be seen despite his Universal Title loss
WrestleMania 35 kicked-off in the most shocking way possible, as the WWE Universe all around the world, witnessed the Universal Title being defended in the opening match of the show. Generally, fans would expect a World Championship to be defended in the main event or midway through the card but that wasn't the case to be, as Brock Lesnar shockingly lost his WWE Universal Championship to Seth Rollins in the first match of the evening.

All it took Rollins was around 4 minutes to slay 'The Beast', as he used a low-blow and followed it up with 3 Stomps to pin Lesnar right in the middle of the ring and win the Universal Title. Therefore, one would expect Brock Lesnar to not be in the best of moods', following his title loss.
And an angry 'Beast Incarnate' would generally show up to a huge pop on the night after WrestleMania and destroy every single human being who even had the slightest of guts to step in Lesnar's way. Technically, this is what Lesnar did following his 'Mania 31 loss to Rollins and considering we're talking about the former UFC Heavyweight Champion here, fans sure did expect 'The Beast' to once again show up and cause destruction on Raw.
