Brock Lesnar does what he wants. We hear that all the time. In 2019, writer Dave Schilling, who has appeared in the past on Bleacher Report, The Guardian, VICE, and Grantland. — He also spent a brief time as a member of WWE’s creative team. He was even at WrestleMania 35, but on Wednesday he started live-tweeting the event because he had never seen it before.
That brings us back to Lesnar, who dropped the WWE Universal Championship to Seth Rollins that night to open the show. According to Schilling, that match should not open the show. As it happens, “The Incarnate Beast” had other plans.
“Brock and Seth were supposed to be semi-main, and Brock came to the first game at the last minute so he could go home early.” Schilling tweeted. The writer also noted that this change meant moving the Continental Championship to that location.
The Universal Championship match only officially lasted two and a half minutes, as Lesnar spent several minutes wearing Rollins down with multiple suplexes. He placed “The Visionary” on top of the announcer’s table before the match started. Several suplexes later, and as he prepares for an F-5, Rollins pushes Lesnar into the referee, temporarily knocking the referee out of the ring. This allowed Bragg to land a low blow and connect with a trifecta of stomps before taking the win.
