So, you guys thought you saw the last of Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, dear ladies and gentlemen? You thought that he would go off into the sunset and not be a part of the proceedings after the show?
Well, we regret to inform you that not only is Brock Lesnar back in WWE, he is also Mr. Money in the Bank. Which means that he could potentially cash in on Universal Champion Seth Rollins or WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston.
While the future may be uncertain, we know that a lot of fans are not happy with the decision to bestow such an honor upon Brock Lesnar. In fact 'How to Cancel the WWE Network' was trending shortly after Money in the Bank got done.
What did you think of the decision to waste the Money in the Bank contract on Brock Lesnar?
#5 Cash in for a Universal Championship match at Super ShowDown
Well, we all saw the ultimate underdog Seth Rollins burn it down at WrestleMania and become the Universal Champion. And now, there's the second chapter of the story to be told. The story of the redemption of The Beast returning to seek revenge and retribution.
This is the likeliest scenario and the most likely site for a rematch is Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. Bear in mind that Brock Lesnar became the Universal Champion in Saudi Arabia when Baron Corbin turned on Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel.
Vince McMahon probably believes that a rematch between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar will be a big draw for Saudi Arabia and will have Brock Lesnar cash in his contract on RAW very soon. Whether or not this is a wise decision is anyone's guess at this point in time, but fans seem quite upset.
#4 To potentially become the face of SmackDown on FOX in due time
Of course, this is the other option. We saw Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens tear the house down during their match for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank 2019. But eventually, it was Kofi Kingston who came out on top, much to the delight of WWE fans.
We know that SmackDown Live will be moving to FOX come October. The ongoing buzz was that FOX wanted Ronda Rousey to be the face of FOX and it was also the reason that Roman Reigns is now a SmackDown Live Superstar. So now without Ronda Rousey, Vince McMahon may just book Brock Lesnar to become the face of SmackDown on FOX.
SmackDown Live has been scoring some of the lowest viewership numbers in history. Maybe Brock Lesnar's presence could potentially turn that around if he's a constant threat to Kofi Kingston.
#3 A hook for weekly television
I'm guessing that in addition to WWE and pro wrestling in general, all of our readers also watch other shows. When it comes to weekly television, whether it is The Walking Dead or Westworld, every drama show ends on a cliffhanger.
Sure, you can end the show with an ending that makes people happy, like say, Ricochet winning the Money in the Bank contract. But honestly, if he did, there's always a chance that nobody would tune in the next night because people got exactly what they wanted.
But now all of us want to know what's next for The Beast Incarnate and whether he's got Seth Rollins or Kofi Kingston in his crosshairs. Is he going to cash-in for a shot at the title in Saudi Arabia or is he going to hang on to the contract?
The possibilities are indeed quite endless, truth be told.
#2 To perhaps stop him from going to AEW
We know that Brock Lesnar only signs short term deals in WWE meaning that there's always a possibility that he could potentially sign with the competition. Do not forget that Brock Lesnar has previously wrestled for NJPW too. He will go where the money is good and where the opportunities are rife.
If AEW gets their paws on Brock Lesnar, they could potentially take away WWE's biggest draw. It would be as big a setback for the company as losing Dean Ambrose to AEW would be, if the rumors are right. Maybe even more so because then AEW would have an established household name.
I suppose Vince McMahon could have given the Money in the Bank contract to Brock Lesnar to keep him happy and satisfied. He probably does not want to take chances because of the new entrants into the marketplace.
#1 His UFC career is done
Not long ago, it came to light that Brock Lesnar has retired from the world of Mixed Martial Arts. He is probably too expensive even to compete at the highest level with some of the most talented fighters in the world, and hence, he called it quits.
Which means that WWE will get his full attention for the time being. And which means that he should be a featured attraction with regard to the events of the year to come and gifting him a Money in the Bank contract is a good way to ensure this.
Brock Lesnar is a dangerous force of nature even without a Money in the Bank contract in his grasp. But with a chance to potentially cash in on a World Champion when the time is right, we could be in for unpredictable times.
Are you happy with Lesnar becoming Mr. Money in the Bank?
