3 WWE Superstars who are most affected by Brock Lesnar's title reign

Brock Lesnar

Ever since 'The Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar became the WWE Universal Champion, all the other superstars (except some powerhouses) who were likely to be in the title picture on RAW were hit bad.

Even those who ended up being in the mid-card might be considered lucky, some other top stars are even struggling to make it into the mid card.

The same thing can be said about the guys in mid card as well. When the top guys were forced into mid card, the mid card wrestlers automatically lost their place and are involved in some useless non-title feuds.

So, let us talk about those 3 WWE superstars who are worst hit by the championship reign of 'The Beast'.


#3 Elias

He shows up on Raw every week and has been arguably the most entertaining character on Monday nights. His gimmick and persona has been cheered by audiences all over, and he has performed excellently well in merchandise sales.

Ever since Elias came onto Raw's roster, he has been a completely different guy in comparison to what he used to be in NXT.

Elias has been going great (almost like The Miz) and was expected to hold the IC championship when The Miz was about to become a father and was taking a month off.

But the things changed dramatically with Lesnar holding the Universal title and Reigns and Rollins coming into IC title picture. While Reigns went back to main card, Rollins held the IC title for nearly 5 months before loosing it to Dolph Ziggler.

Now, with a lot of main card wrestlers being pushed into the mid card, Elias winning the IC title seems to be an impossible thing in next 5-6 months.

Considering the energy Elias has been putting in every time he has walked in the arena, him remaining without a title belt is totally unjustified.

#2 Finn Balor

Finn Balor

Balor had been a prominent figure in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) as a member of Bullet Club. After signing with WWE , he was drafted to NXT where he stole the show with his 'Demon King' gimmick.

He became NXT champion and a few months later, he was drafted onto the Raw roster where he became the inaugural WWE Universal Champion.

However, his reign was short lived due to an injury. He was out of action for almost a year, and when he made his return Brock Lesnar was holding the Universal Title.

Mr. McMahon considered him not being good enough to face 'The Beast', just because of his not so big size, so he never got his rematch for the Universal Championship.

While likes of Seth Rollins did have some mid card titles (IC title and Raw tag team titles) around their waist, Demon King has remained without a title since his return. With no proper storylines and feuds, Balor has become somewhat irrelevant on Raw.

#1 Seth Rollins

Monday Night Rollins

The reason why Seth Rollins tops this list can be linked to his past. If you take a look at the career of Seth Rollins, he was the man who was holding 2 titles at the same time.

Now if we take a look at his present state, he is involved in the mid card storylines despite giving unbelievable matches, even with the likes of Mojo Rawley and Jinder Mahal. He has been the most cheered babyface of 2018, but still he is not in the Universal Title picture.

The reason behind this is (as it was in the case of Finn Balor) that Vince thinks that only monsters can compete against 'The Beast'. That is why the likes of Braun, Joe, Kane and Roman have got title opportunities, while Bobby Lashley seems to be making it to that list soon. Despite all the hard work, Rollins is still confined to mid card.

This appears to be an insult to a wrestler of his caliber and Rollins' fans feel the same. Lesnar's exit may be the opportunity for Rollins to be back to main card, the place where he belongs.
