The Universal champion Brock Lesnar (accompanied by Paul Heyman) returned to Raw this week. In two weeks, Brock Lesnar is going to defend his Universal championship against Braun Strowman at "No Mercy." For the first time in the history of WWE, it is looking like The Beast is the underdog because of the way Braun Strowman manhandled Brock Lesnar at "SummerSlam."
Considering the way Braun Strowman manhandled Brock Lesnar in the fatal-four-way match for the Universal championship, it seems like it may be challenging for Brock Lesnar to defend his championship in a one-on-one match against Braun Strowman.
Strowman is an unstoppable wrecking machine in the entire WWE.
Fight will take place at 'No Mercy'
Lesnar will defend his Universal championship against Braun Strowman for the first time in a one-on-one situation on Sunday night, September 24, 2017, at "No Mercy." Since Brock Lesnar put Undertaker down at "Wrestlemania 30", the odds are against Brock for the first time. Braun Strowman slammed Brock Lesnar through two announcer tables and then turned the third one over him at "SummerSlam." On the very next night, Strowman slammed the Universal champion twice.
This week on raw, Lesnar was attacked by Braun Strowman again, and Lesnar could not stand toe-to-toe against him. The Monster Among Men has become an unstoppable force in WWE, but he may not be able to win the championship at "No Mercy" as there are rumors that Brock is set to face Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania 34, in New Orleans.
Braun Strowman does not feature in the plans. Therefore, WWE cannot put the Universal championship on him right now.
