The heated rivalry between WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar has become more intriguing ever since Paul Heyman got into the mix. Heyman has felt a huge dilemma on which side to choose in the feud. He could still betray Lesnar and help out Reigns to retain the Universal Championship at Day 1. Roman Reigns & Paul Heyman’s ‘Secret’ also leaked previously.
Paul Heyman could betray Lesnar
Last week on SmackDown, Reigns fired Heyman as his special counsel and then went on to superman punch the former SmackDown GM. Lesnar then made his way to the ring and attacked ‘The Tribal Chief’. ‘The Special Counsel’ had finally admitted that he was protecting his client from the rage of Brock Lesnar. This meant Heyman was deliberately keeping the Universal Champion away from Lesnar, as he didn’t believe Reigns stood a chance against The Beast.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has stated that WWE has a big finish planned for the Universal Championship match on Day 1. He noted that there was a big chance that Heyman could pull off a swerve to help Roman Reigns keep the title.
He also added that if WWE chooses to have Brock Lesnar win at Day 1, then Paul Heyman’s turn will happen at WrestleMania.
”There are different ways they can go, including a Lesnar title win to set up a WrestleMania rematch, or Lesnar on the verge of winning and it comes out that the Heyman firing was a ruse and he double-crosses Lesnar. The idea should be what is the best way to build WrestleMania. It could also be that a Heyman double-cross of Lesnar could be saved for WrestleMania,” said Meltzer.
The Beast Incarnate lost to Roman Reigns when the two men last met at Crown Jewel. Considering the rumors that WWE is planning on having them face off at WrestleMania, Lesnar could get his hands on the Universal Championship to keep the feud fresh.
With Roman Reigns seemingly turning on Paul Heyman due to his relationship with Brock Lesnar,Heyman will play a major role in the story going forward.
