The finish of the match between Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman at No Mercy was surprising to many as people did not expect Strowman to be pinned after just one F5.
The way WWE had built The Monster Among Men, fans believed that he would pull some more offense and some even believed that he could end up winning the title. So when he lost, it made them wonder if the company changed the original plans for this match.
Though according to reports from F4Wonline.com, the finish wasn’t changed and the match between Strowman and Lesnar went as the Officials had originally planned.
Furthermore, it’s being said that despite the rising popularity of the former Wyatt Family Member, his match with Brock was always seen as just a stop in The Beast’s road to WrestleMania.
The current plans for Lesnar are still to keep the Universal title on him till WrestleMania 34 so he could drop it to Roman Reigns at the Show Of Shows next year.
It’s worth mentioning here that Braun Strowman was originally supposed to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Great Balls Of Fire PPV earlier this year.
These plans were nixed after Strowman suffered a legit elbow injury and Samoa Joe ended up facing the Universal Champion at the event instead.
