WWE Stomping Grounds: 3 reasons why Vince McMahon could crown Brock Lesnar as the Universal Champion at the event

The current Universal Champion, Seth Rollins is scheduled to defend his title against Baron Corbin in a special guest referee match, this Sunday at Stomping Grounds.

While the fans have been quite vocal about the underwhelming and repetitive booking for the event, there have been a lot of speculations and predictions regarding the Universal Championship match.

Even though Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin will fight each other for the Universal title, chances are high that neither of these men walks out with the gold at the end of the match.

Yes, you heard that right, the probability of WWE having Brock Lesnar cash-in his MITB briefcase to become the new Universal Champion this Sunday at Stomping Grounds is very high.

So, without further ado, we take a look at 3 reasons why Vince McMahon could crown The Beast as the new Universal Champion at Stomping Grounds.

#3 WWE's desperate attempt to spice things up

WWE's booking decisions have been underwhelming lately.

So, let's get this straight.

After how the previous two winners failed to cash in their briefcase successfully, there have been several reports stating that WWE has some big plans for this years' winner. Thus, Lesnar is going to get his hands on the title sooner or later. However, given how things have been unfolding in WWE lately it might just be the right time for The Beast to take over as the new Universal Champion.

I mean, Seth Rollins' stint as the Universal champion on the flagship show of WWE has been underwhelming. While a major part of the blame goes to the poor booking decisions by the Creative, dare I say, Rollins too has looked out of his elements on a few occasions.

Furthermore, the degrading ratings and viewership plus the increasing competition might just force Vince McMahon to press the panic button and turn to Lesnar in a desperate move to spice things up.

#2 It could set up a blockbuster triple threat matchup for Summerslam

Roman Reigns could get involved in the Universal title picture.

With Shane McMahon likely to be the guest referee for the Rollins vs Corbin clash at Stomping Grounds, a heel gang up on Rollins leading to potential interference from Roman Reigns could be on the cards.

While Rollins will defend his title against Corbin this Sunday, chances of neither of these men walking out with the gold this Sunday are higher than ever. Yes, even if interference from The Big Dog happens, the heels led by Lesnar could cast a 3-on-2 attack on the babyface duo.

This could then not only result in Lesnar cashing in his briefcase to become the new Universal Championship but also mean a potential involvement of Roman Reigns in the Universal title picture.

Thus, who knows, this Sunday could be the makings of a blockbuster triple threat matchup between Lesnar, Reigns and Rollins for the Universal Championship at Summerslam.

#1 WWE's attempt to save Stomping Grounds from being a lacklustre show

Stomping Grounds may turn out to be below average

There has been a huge outcry on Social Media over the repetitive bookings of Stomping Grounds. With people calling it "rematch grounds", plus WWE struggling to fill even half of the arena for this Sunday, there is a huge possibility that this event may prove to be a lacklustre show.

Thus, WWE needs something big, something huge to turn things around and to send WWE Universe into a frenzy. And Lesnar cashing in his MITB briefcase to become the new Universal Champ could be one such thing.

It would not only be one of those shocking moments to feature in WWE's top 10 Youtube clip but would also grab a lot of eyeballs for the following weeks.

However, I am afraid, even something of this magnitude might not be enough to save the show.
