Roman Reigns will win against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. Of course he will. Unless…
What if it turns out that a legitimate UFC champion actually is better than anyone else in the locker room? What if, no matter how good Reigns is, Lesnar is better? What if the same thing that happened to John Cena and the Undertaker happens to Reigns, and he gets taken apart by the Beast?
Perhaps even the superman Reigns, despite being on the run of his life, just isn’t strong enough. Perhaps no-one is.
Reigns and Cena could team up and lose 2-on-1. Triple H could get concerned that Lesnar might leave with the title, and send in Seth Rollins and the Authority in an unheard-of alliance… only to see them get picked off one by one.
Paul Heyman could gloat, but secretly start to get worried that he’s losing control of his creation. Instead of pulling the strings, he might become an unwilling advisor to Lesnar, being towed around watching beating after beating, even trying to rein Lesnar in but failing. Imagine if Lesnar had become too much for Heyman, as a manager and a human.
The story of the summer could be the whole WWE trying to get the title from Lesnar and exorcise him from the company. Ultimately, Triple H himself could get involved and put himself on the line, maybe even bet the company itself, to convince Lesnar to have a match against him, Cena and Reigns for the championship. Maybe it would take them combining, plus the Rock and Stone Cold at ringside, to finally put Lesnar down. Reigns, having taken punishment from Lesnar all spring but surviving, could become the new Triple H, the new enduring gladiator, win the fans’ love again and win the title on a wave of support. At the very least it would be an epic struggle against the ultimate foe, a big, era-defining story.
Or maybe he’ll win tonight and that’ll be that.
