Brock Lesnar holds the title

The WWE Championship, which is currently held by Brock Lesnar, has not been seen on the television often. The title fell into Lesnar’s hand after he defeated Kofi Kingston in just eight seconds. Since then, Lesnar has successfully defended the title against Cain Velasquez and Rey Mysterio. This led to the championship being moved over to the RAW roster. Considering Lesnar has been seen only intermittently on WWE, it is no surprise that the championship title belt has also remained absent from WWE TV.

The championship title, and the way it went to Lesnar, had riled up many fans who thought that the company did not treat Kingston fairly. Fans were upset that Kingston was never given a chance to win back the title. However, Kofi Kingston addressed the fan outrage on a podcast recently.

He added that his on-screen character lost to Lesnar in a decent match and he had to be a gracious loser. Kingston said that he understood the fans’ sentiments, but he couldn’t go around being angry about the loss in real life. He said that he was not the one making those decisions. He requested fans to understand that his character on WWE lost and it had to be accepted.
