WWE MITB: 3 reasons why Brock Lesnar winning the briefcase is not so bad
By Jason Reed
Brock Lesnar shocked the wrestling world at WWE Money in the Bank by ambushing the Money in the Bank match and capturing the Money in the Bank briefcase.
There are plenty of things to have mixed feelings about when it comes to WWE Money in the Bank 2019. One angle that has had less than mixed reviews is Brock Lesnar ambushing the Men’s Money in the Bank match only to scale the ladder and secure a title shot himself.
For most wrestling fans, at least for the online community that is reacting to this decision, Lesnar winning the belt is a mistake. Wrestling fans just had to endure yet another lengthy title reign from Lesnar, which was finally ended by Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35.
In fact, in the 972 days in which the Universal Title has been in service (at the time of writing this article), Lesnar has held the belt for 659 days. For those that are counting, Lesnar has had the Universal Title around his waist for 67.8% of the title’s existence.
The diehard wrestling community has understandably had enough of Lesnar, at least in the title picture. That is what is fueling the outrage around Vince McMahon and company booking Lesnar to win the briefcase.
While that outrage is certainly understandable, there are actually some good takeaways from having Lesnar win the Money in the Bank briefcase. Here are three reasons why Lesnar winning the briefcase is a good thing.
