3 WWE Superstars who could dethrone Brock Lesnar as the Universal Champion
Brock Lesnar won the Universal title for the second time at WWE Crown Jewel. The Beast Incarnate faced Braun Strowman for the vacant Universal championship, and he won the match quite easily. The match was totally one sided and Strowman never had a chance to come back into the match.
The match was meant to be a triple threat match at Crown Jewel, but the former Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, relinquished the title because of his health. Reigns defeated Lesnar at SummerSlam, and won the Universal title for the first time. However, the title reign did not last long.
Lesnar's first Universal title reign was awe-inspiring, and he held the belt for 504 days. It was one of the longest title reigns of the modern era, and it broke CM Punk's previous record of 434 days. The Beast Incarnate won his first Universal title at WrestleMania 33 when he defeated Goldberg, and held the title till SummerSlam this year.
Meanwhile, Lesnar's second Universal title reign is not likely to be lengthy like the previous one. He is scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier in UFC and the fight may happen next year. Hence, Lesnar is not likely to keep the Universal title for long. There are several superstars who could dethrone Brock Lesnar.
Here we discuss 3 superstars who could beat Brock Lesnar and become Universal Champion.
#3 Braun Strowman
Strowman is a significant candidate to beat Brock Lesnar. As a matter of fact, Lesnar and Strowman have had several matches before, but Strowman has not successfully pinned Brock Lesnar yet. Lesnar faced Strowman at Crown Jewel, and he won the match comfortably.
Strowman's character has been quite strong since his main roster debut. The superstar has been in the title picture since last year, but he has not won the Universal title yet. Though he won the tag team titles this year at WrestleMania, and he also won the Money in the Bank event this year, but could not cash in successfully.
Strowman is definitely popular in the WWE Universe, and he is certainly a top candidate to win the Universal title. He has the captivating look and charisma to become the next Universal Champion.
