3 Reasons why Brock Lesnar winning the Universal Championship has angered the WWE Universe
Extreme Rules was one of the best pay-per-views in a while and maybe the best of 2019. The show was filled with exciting, unpredictable moments and enthralling matches. We saw many title changes, some of them uncalled for, while some of them were shocking.
The kick-off show saw Shinsuke Nakamura defeat Finn Balor and become the new Intercontinental Champion. The main show started with the Undertaker and Roman Reigns getting the better of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre in what was a good match.
We saw the New Day become the SmackDown Tag Team Champions and KofiMania reigned supreme over Samoa Joe. This means every single superstar in the New Day squad is now the holder of gold. Also, Ricochet's short-lived United States title reign came to an end as AJ Styles beat him in an incredible match.
The biggest shock of the day though came in the main event after Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch got the better of Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, Brock Lesnar cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and pinned Rollins after delivering the F5 to become the new Universal Champion.
Many WWE fans have since conveyed their anger on various social media fronts, so in this slideshow, we are going to talk about the three reasons why Lesnar becoming the Universal Champion has angered fans:
#3 Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins is a feud that doesn't excite us anymore
Yeah, we are in for another round of conquering the beast contest with the same contestants Rollins, and of course, Lesnar. Ever since Seth Rollins cashed in his MITB contract on Lesnar at WrestleMania 31, this feud has been shoved down our throats.
Then again, Rollins got the better of Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 and we thought after an Architect victory, maybe we wouldn't see Lesnar near that Universal title but no, Vince McMahon loves a bad surprise.
And now that Lesnar has completed the full circle and successfully cashed in his MITB contract, we are in for another Rollins vs Lesnar feud and this may be very long. So, frankly, in my opinion, I don't really get excited by the idea of the Beast Incarnate facing the Beast Slayer.
