Brock Lesnar to defend Universal Championship on June 26th Raw?

[Tom Colohue]

I'd love to see a segment where WWE send someone to try and take the title from Lesnar. That could add some much needed context here, also it would mean that Lesnar would be able to crush someone.

If Lesnar defends the title on Raw, which is incredibly unlikely given his booking, it would be in a squash match against Ambrose.

If not a squash match it will end with some form of shinanigans going on. Im not convinced they will have him compete on RAW at all just my thoughts.

It's true.

Will it be on the show or will it be a dark match?

It should be on the show because the show's top title will be defended, but we'll see what comes out of this.

I think the biggest problem with Lesnar not defending the title every month is that they have stripped others for that in recent times. Think about it. Naomi was only gone for about a month and she was stripped because she couldn't defend the title. When they try to have it both ways, it makes them look ridiculous.

To be fair, WWE is pretty ridiculous when it comes to logic like that.

They rank Brock Lesnar higher above the rest. He must have an ironclad contract :kappa:

I would love for this to be on the actual show and would do great for viewership and the ratings for that week. However, this has dark match written all over it.

I've heard an interesting theory that between now and the end of Mania 34, Brock will have six matches with the fatal 5 way participants + Strowman. This would be a great way to do a match with Wyatt

I could get on board with this, great premis, my only issue is that we know its all going to lead to Roman winning at Mania and just cant get on board with that as things are.

...If I was fantasy booking this, there's 2 ways of going about it.
#1 as in the other thread is just to have Roman win the title at Fireballs. Do it now, please.

But if we're thinking longnterm, I'd go ahead and have Brock beat Finn Balor, Brock beat Braun Strowman, Brock beat Wyatt at this show, then he'd beat Seth Rollins at Survivor Series... Then at the Rumble everyone will be so down. And hating Lesnar's overbooked repetitive matches again. And furious at another Roman Reigns push. And expecting such a disaster that [HASHTAG]#CanceltheWWENetwork[/HASHTAG] is trending BEFORE the show, expecting the same result as 2015 before....... Samoa Joe pins Brock Lesnar and wins the championship, AJ Styles wins the Royal Rumble and everyone's ecstatic for Wrestlemania season coming out of the PPV. Just throw a really big swerve to help us fans out.

I just don't see how you can do this without turning Joe face, though.... Maybe the swerve is best with Finn Balor slaying the Beast instead. Who knows?

 

[Tom Colohue]

If WWE deviate from the plan for it to be Reigns/Lesnar at Mania then it's far more likely that the title will be won by Bray Wyatt at Hell in a Cell. A swerve like that wouldn't be used on somebody that they already consider to be over, and it's very unlikely to be used on a face.

Post-Show match probably, if not it will probably be against Finn, they are gonna save Reigns for Wrestlemania next year
