Brock Lesnar won the Universal Championship at Extreme Rules. This came after he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins.
We have a rumor to pass your way about why WWE had Brock cash-in at Extreme Rules.
According to journalist Tom Colohue, Brock cashed in because of how thin the RAW roster is right now. Here is what he Tweeted:
My Take: I definitely believe this as WWE did not build up many strong challengers for Seth (for after Extreme Rules). In my original Summerslam predictions, I was guessing that we would be getting Seth vs Braun Strowman for the Universal Title. Other than Strowman, nobody has really been built up as a top Title contender on RAW. Now, it looks like we are getting Brock vs Seth at Summerslam.
What did you think of the decision to put the belt on Brock? Let me know in the comment section below.
