As for the WWE superstar who will dethrone Lesnar, there are many possible choices. The favorite is still Roman Reigns, who lost a cage match against Lesnar due to a “technicality.” Lesnar’s feet hit the ground first, so the WWE could work with that fact to make Roman the next WWE Universal Champion.
Of course, Roman’s reign could be short-lived, especially with Braun Strowman holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. Still, it means there are some exciting months ahead of us.
WWE Swerve?
Let’s face it; it’s not the first time the WWE has purposely not advertised Brock Lesnar. Whether it was due to contract negotiations or a genuine Vince McMahon swerve, we know better than to trust the word of advertising at this point.
Of course, a little part of me is scared the WWE will keep on Brock Lesnar just for this event. The Australian fan base does have exquisite taste, which means there won’t be too much Brock Lesnar fans to even notice he’s gone. Here’s hoping!
