Only if they retire the Universal title immediately afterwards and never mention it again. It holds absolutely no value to me at all.

What's the point? Really, what's the point? I've not been watching lately, and I don't much care for Rollins (Ambrose was my Shield guy), but even if I did, why would I care?
It's the exact same problem as LOL CENA WINS, except now it's Brock, and it's been that way for years now. Why would I expect anybody else to win? There's only so many times I can pretend to think that the other guy will pull it off.
Get rid of him, or at least make him some sort of non-title attraction, as the champion (or being anywhere near the title) he just makes everybody else looks totally pointless. If there's no chance of anybody else winning, why would anybody care?
That's part of why I don't bother watching any more, I got so sick of the roster being Brock -> Roman -> bunch of chumps nobody cares about, I can't pick anybody to care about because in WWE-land nobody really matters except Brock (and maybe Roman). Give me a reason and a chance to care, a (realistic) chance for somebody I enjoy to win, give me some variety. Any champion is boring as an untouchable, unbeatable, totally invincible giant, there's no sense of peril (for people who enjoy that guy) and no sense that someone else could dethrone them (for people who don't like that guy). That goes even for people I like, you have to tell a story, it has to have dynamics, if it's just a flat line of "this guy is champion forever" it's incredibly boring.
To me, as someone who hasn't been watching but has seen the odd clip and heard podcasts here and there, Braun was the guy I could've most believed would beat Brock (the guy was lifting trucks ffs), I actually started to like what I'd seen of him, but if superhuman truck-lifting monster man can't pull off a win against Brock, who else would even have a chance? Roman? Sure, by WWE logic, but as a viewer he seems less likely to be able to beat Brock than Braun does, and nobody else would even have a sniff of a chance.
I'm a little tainted by the Lesnar/Ambrose match, which is one of the last times I bothered to seriously watch, but I just can't stomach WWE's writing any more. Brock is a big part of that. So yeah, maybe I don't count because I'm effectively an ex-viewer now, but no, I wouldn't want to see Brock win yet again, they need something fresh, and it needs to be something that feels plausible and organic, not just "we want you to like this other guy now".

Brock brings it, and I still enjoy his work. He is a credible champion when he's on point. It makes for good entertainment whenever we see him stunned by his opponent. Then he finds a way to end it. He's the final boss and in my book thats the guy with the title belt. I'm okay with him retaining against any challenger as long as the match has its moments.

Yes
Sorry there is nothing interesting about a Rollins title run. Brock Leanars title matches at the very least seem like a big deal
