WrestleMania 35: 3 booking decisions that would've made Brock Lesnar/Seth Rollins feud more exciting

WrestleMania 35 is right around the corner. April 7, 2019, features yet another edition of the Show of Shows. For the first time ever women's title would be defended in the main event. The Pay-Per-View also promises to be the longest one in the history of WWE.

Men's Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins would take on Brock Lesnar for the universal championship. Brock Lesnar is arguably the biggest star in WWE. His opponent Seth's work rate over the past few years earned him a whole lot of respect within the squared circle.

Thus, both look deserving to fight for the universal title at WrestleMania. However, the buildup to their feud seems lackluster at its best. Given the history these two have and their star power, this match should've been the hottest one heading into the Showcase of the Immortals.

However, their WrestleMania feud looks surprisingly dull. Here in this article, let us see three booking decisions that would've made this feud more exciting.

#3 A Universal Title open challenge?

Brock Lesnar with the universal championship

This may sound like sarcasm due to the fact that it's almost impossible to pull off but just consider it for a moment. Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest stars in WWE. He is at the same time the most experienced one the company has.

However, fans have grown a bit bored at him due to his on and off appearances. There is apparently nothing for Lesnar to do after WrestleMania 35. He has a lot of achievements in WWE. He's a surefire Hall of Famer and a living legend in the business.

Given his UFC interest, it's just a matter of time before he leaves WWE for good. Also, WWE may not have that many options to explore with him after WrestleMania. Thus, they should've used him to his maximum and let him go after WrestleMania 35.

A Universal Title challenge by a huge star like Lesnar would've been unimaginable. So many superstars would've benefitted even by sharing the ring with him. In a storyline perspective, it would've been the final domination of the much-hated beast before the Kingslayer Seth Rollins defeats him for good.

Nevertheless, it would be too much to ask but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have been able to get the fans excited about the Universal Title match at WrestleMania. Lesnar defeating most of the WWE superstars and threatening to leave the company with the title after WrestleMania would've made this feud look like a million bucks.

#2 Lesnar attacking the Shield

One of the reasons why this feud doesn't seem interesting is due to the fact that both Lesnar and Rollins weren't involved much in this. Of course, they had few faceoffs and Lesnar even attacked Rollins but still, that didn't do much.

In the meantime, Rollins was also involved in the Shield reunion at the road to WrestleMania. It was exciting to have a mini-Shield reunion but it only hurt Rollins' major storyline. It took his concentration totally away from Brock Lesnar and the WrestleMania match. It would've been better if Lesnar got involved in Shield's reunion to some capacity.

Lesnar ruining the Shield reunion would've given Rollins a solid motivation to defeat him. Not using Lesnar in the angle is a huge missed opportunity. It would've created an awesome WWE moment if Lesnar attacked the Shield after their Fastlane match. It would've also made Rollins fight for pride in addition to the universal title.

#1 The Demon King comes back for his universal title

Finn Balor was the inaugural universal champion

This one would've made the feud hotter even without Lesnar making frequent appearances on the road to WrestleMania. After Finn Balor losing the Intercontinental title to Bobby Lashley, he should've been introduced into this feud.

Balor and Rollins have quite a history with each other. Balor also had an awesome match with Lesnar at the Royal Rumble 2019. Thus, it would've been exciting to add him in this match. The Demon king attacking Lesnar or Rollins out of nowhere would've been a good way of introducing Balor into this feud.

Ever since losing his universal title at SummerSlam 2016, Balor wasn't really given anything interesting to do. Rollins and Balor are the first two individuals who competed in a universal title match. It would've been a timely decision to have Balor in the match.

Lesnar is the longest reigning Universal Champion in the history of WWE. Everything would've come full circle if Lesnar faced the two contestants of the inaugural universal title match. The storyline would've also had some depth that way.
