Bengaluru, August 24: The main event of Summerslam witnessed a shocking end where the champion had to bow down to the determination of the challenger who fought against all the odds. As seen on the show, “The Beast Slayer” Seth Rollins defeated “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship and thereby live up to the moniker. This is the second time in a calendar year, he was able to hand a clean pinfall loss to Lesnar that no man on the roster has been able to do since his return in 2012.
The question remained why WWE would do that to harm the strong character of Brock Lesnar who is the biggest box office attraction present in the company. We wondered whether this meant long time-off for him in the long storyline perspective. But the creative team has insured his return in such a way that will have nothing to do with the devastating loss at Summerslam 2018. This will be a completely fresh beginning for him.
As reported by wwfoldschool.com, Brock Lesnar lost fair and square in this match because his time on Raw is over. The title loss against Rollins was a storyline process to write him off from the flagship show as he is set to make his comeback on Smackdown Live when it moves to FOX from October 4th onwards. He will be featuring in programs on the blue brand after a gap of more than 15 years.
