‘- While many are still grumbling about Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship win at WWE’s Crown Jewel, the reality is, he is once again atop the Monday Night RAW mountain. As he is a part-time superstar, fans will have to wait to see that title defended come the new year, likely at the 2019 Royal Rumble, as he is not currently scheduled to participate in any WWE events past Survivor Series for 2018.

Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer recently discussed some different option the WWE may have when it comes to Wrestlemania 35, Brock Lesnar, and that Universal Championship. While many within the WWE Universe believe that Braun Strowman should be given that spot, Meltzer relayed that he was told the Monster Among Men isn’t in the running for a Universal Championship opportunity at WM 35. Dave also discussed the options of Drew McIntyre, potentially Daniel Bryan (that, a rematch if DB beats the Beast this Sunday at Survivor Series), and then AJ Styles; pointing to the fact that AJ Styles is the most viable superstar at this point in time to face Lesnar on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Only time will tell; however, with their incredible Survivor Series match they had last year, AJ Styles versus Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35 seems like a really good option for WWE’s annual flagship event.
– For those who aren’t following the reality television show Survivor, Johnny Impact, known in real life as John Hennigan, was a huge front runner in this year’s season for the show. The current IMPACT Wrestling Heavyweight Champion seemed like he had the competition locked in the bag, until last night, when he was voted out by his tribe in something that could resemble a wrestling storyline.

With two immunity idols around, something that guarantees freedom from elimination, Hennigan was booted out of the competition by two votes, one of them being someone who he had an alliance with.
Now he knows how Marty Jannetty feels.
