To put it quite plainly, the audience does not like Brock Lesnar. In fact, he is being used as the poster boy of how WWE is regressive by fans in the argument about which promotion is superior - AEW or WWE.
So, let's assume for a minute that Brock Lesnar does actually become the next Universal Champion. Imagine the chorus of boos that would rain down upon Lesnar and the WWE, if they were to see him as a part-time Universal Champion again.
The blow could be lessened if the cash in happened against someone like Baron Corbin instead of the crowd favourite Seth Rollins. Baron Corbin may be the only WWE Superstar across both brands who is hated as much as Brock Lesnar is.
So, maybe Baron Corbin goes on to win the Universal Championship and while the crowd boos him, Lesnar cashes in.
