I wish both Orton and Lesnar would be stripped of the titles. They are easily the two most boring Champions in WWE history. Randy Orton is just an awful Champion and has no in-ring chemistry with other top Superstars, and ever since Suplex City was born, Lesnar's matches (the 3 times a year he actually wrestles) are just horrible. Go watch Lesnar vs. Cena at Extreme Rules 2012, and then watch Lesnar over the last 2 years. He literally only does German Suplexes and the F5. That's it. I get that Suplex City probably sells t-shirts and the fans like to chant it and count along with the suplexes, but if you aren't there IN THE ARENA, he is so boring to watch. He needs to start doing more moves again like when he first came back to WWE. He was actually really good. But now he's just Suplex-repeat. AJ Styles should be the WWE Champion on Smackdown. Finn Balor or Seth Rollins should be Universal Champion on RAW. I'd give it to Strowman when he's healthy, but WWE shoud really just put it on Roman Reigns and let's just get it over with. Let's stop pretending that Reigns is the underdog, just put the belt on him and let him fail AGAIN so we can move on and enjoy the summer until next December when we start cranking up again for REIGNSAMANIA 4 where they put the belt on him again, he fails, they pull the plug, and then try it again the next year....repeat....repeat.....repeat. Nail, meet head.

I have always understood the rule to mean that the champion must be able to defend the championship within 30 days. Meaning.. an injury that would keep them out for more than 30 days = forfeiture of the championship. Them not defending within 30 days is 100% on the general managers of RAW / Smackdown for not finding them suitable championship opponents and booking the matches from a kayfabe perspective. It's Daniel Bryan and Kurt Angle's job to make matches for their champions so stripping either of them for not defending the championship when their general manager hasn't actually asked them to defend the championship is ridiculous from a kayfabe perspective. I understand that the rule gets changed to fit situations / storylines / etc. but I've always thought the general understanding was being unable to defend within 30 days is the rule. Future Smackdown GM?

And they're the two most boring champions on the roster. Orton is great as a heel but he sucks badly as a babyface and just looks uninterested. And Brock is just 5 moves now if that and gets paid 12 million to show up 12 times a year and have someone cut his promos for him.

I love Lesnar as much of the next guy, but the dude is getting pretty boring and flat. Wish a younger guy could get it like Seth.

2002 Brock Lesnar was one of the most amazing things Id ever seen. He had the potential to be the greatest of all time IMO....when it was announced he was coming back I did have high hope but seriously he just needs to go away and never come back at this point. Each time he gets a title it drags what little value it has down.
Randy Orton hasnt been entertaining since his Legend Killer days. Any title reign was going to be a drag with him.

What the hell, I've been feeling suicidal. I think if I see Brock I'll tell him to stop being lazy and give up the championship.

Notice they also quietly stop mentioning the no hitting with a closed fist rule years ago?

I'd consider house shoe defences cannon. They have been known to change hand after all.

The 30 day rule only works when WWE wants belts taken off guys that are over with the crowd. Ex. Daniel Bryan in 2014. Oh yeah, cause Naom was SO over with the crowd when she vacated the belt...... I will agree its dumb that WWE only follows the rule for certain things, but not everything they do is to piss you off. She actually is pretty over.

-- At least now we know who was really behind the worms projection on the ring during Orton's match at WrestleMania. -- When questioned, it just sat there. (picture belt in an interrogation room) Det. Christian: Were you or were you not, in cahoots with Bray Wyatt? Belt:............... Det. Christian: A quiet one, I see. -in walks in Lt. Edge- Lt. Edge: How's it going, any progress, Det? Det. Christian: Nothing yet, Lt. Nothing yet. Belt:................

30 day rule is not a common thing in the WWE. If it was they would of stripped Brock back in his latest run with the World Championship.
