The bits of gossip coursing on the web, per Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Randall Ortman at Cageside Seats), call for Brock Lesnar to guard that title in a session against Braun Strowman and Kane at one month from now's Royal Rumble pay-per-see.
As unusual and odd a headliner that sounds like given how it will be 2018 by that point, it makes an open door for WWE it can't waste.
While Brock Lesnar was an undeniable decision to beat Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 and catch the Universal Championship out of the blue, it is agonizingly evident he and the title are prepared to go separate ways for various reasons
It's the ideal opportunity for just the fifth man to be given the distinction of winning Raw's debut belt—and that man ought to be Braun Strowman.
As a matter of first importance, there's Lesnar's own particular remaining inside WWE to consider. As yet working a vigorously weighted low maintenance plan on Raw, it's a given that Lesnar does not require a title around his midriff to be viewed as a danger to whatever remains of the locker room on Monday evenings.
Given how WWE is developing to WrestleMania season, Lesnar dropping the Universal Championship now is likewise a keen move since it liberates the organization up to have Brock work a prominent match somewhere else on the card, far from the title picture.
That gives WWE another gigantic name to assemble another match around, building out the Mania card in empowering style.
At that point there's simply the issue of the Universal Championship. Per ProFightDB, Lesnar has guarded the Universal Championship only four times on TV since winning it at WrestleMania 33.
That is sufficiently not for a title that requirements however much presentation as could reasonably be expected. With Lesnar scarcely around to work quarrels, the title is barely at any point seen on WWE's primary show. By what means would that be able to be something worth being thankful for the title, or to be sure the general population who expect to hold it later on?
There's such a great amount of ability on Raw at the moment, and you sense they'd be better off with the title. The Shield, Sheamus, Cesaro and Samoa Joe have an extraordinary thing going ahead at the moment—putting the Universal Championship at the core of that fight would have influenced fans to mind only that touch more on Monday night, for instance.
Finn Balor properly merits his chance to win back the title he never lost. Joe himself feels like a champion really taking shape, while Strowman—another tremendous example of overcoming adversity in 2017—is prepared for the headliner scene consistently.
What's more, that conveys us perfectly to The Monster Among Men. Braun can't manage the cost of another thrashing to Brock, regardless of how valiant and amazing an exertion he put in at No Mercy not long ago.
Of course, Kane may well wrestle at Royal Rumble to take the stick if gossipy tidbits are to be accepted, however does that truly help Braun by any stretch of the imagination? The truth of the matter is, he will in any case have another misfortune to his name on pay-per-view, and Lesnar will take the title off TV again until around WrestleMania 34.
WWE can't stand to sit tight until the point that WrestleMania for somebody like Roman Reigns to depose Brock Lesnar. The title needs another proprietor at the earliest opportunity—and WWE has an instant substitution in Braun Strowman.
Right now is an ideal opportunity for WWE to roll the dice.
