Exploring what may go down when these behemoths collide again
Exploring what may go down when these behemoths collide again

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar met in the main event of WrestleMania 31, only three years ago. They clashed yet again in the main event of WrestleMania this year. This was the fourth straight WrestleMania main event appearance for Roman Reigns. As always, he was drowned in a sea of thunderous jeers.

It is surprising then that WWE has booked a rematch between Lesnar and Reigns at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. The Universal Championship will be on the line yet again. What's more...this match is in a steel cage!

This article will take a look at five potential finishes for this clash of bulls. Let us know which of these possibilities you believe could actually transpire.

Here are 5 potential finishes for Reigns vs. Lesnar from Saudi Arabia.


#5 Paul Heyman helps Reigns win

Could this be a new heel alliance?

It is common knowledge that Brock Lesnar will head to UFC after his contract is up. This begs the question... whom will Paul Heyman manage next? Various names come to mind one of which is Roman Reigns. A heel Roman Reigns, it must be said!

Imagine Brock Lesnar crawling to the door of the cage after a brutal battle. Just as he is about to step out, Heyman closes the door in his face leaving the Beast shocked. And Reigns takes this opportunity to make his way out of the cage and win the match.

This would signal a whole new chapter in the Roman Reigns saga. With strong babyfaces such as Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Braun Strowman and Daniel Bryan in the roster, heel Roman Reigns could have a very promising run.

#4 Bobby Lashley costs Brock Lesnar the Universal Championship

Yes, we do realize that Lashley is feuding with Elias at this moment. However, everyone in WWE definitely realizes that they need to get a Lashley vs. Lesnar feud in before Lesnar leaves for the UFC in due time. What better stage to plant the seeds of this rivalry than at the Greatest Royal Rumble? This could be a blood feud that stretches across months.

This could also be a great way to put the title on Roman Reigns but leave the audience with a moment that is so shocking that they don't boo the match like at WrestleMania 34. Pretty much like how WrestleMania 31 ended with Seth Rollins cashing in the 'Money in the Bank' briefcase. This would allow Reigns to move on to other opponents such as Samoa Joe.

Lashley has claimed that fans have hounded him about facing Lesnar for many years now. His MMA credentials and his achievements outside WWE make him a worthy contender.

#3 Samoa Joe costs Roman Reigns the Universal Title

The heat between the two Samoans is more intense than ever

Much like Lashley, Samoa Joe made a comeback on RAW this week and had some strong words for Roman Reigns. We know that the two men are set to collide at Backlash. We also know that both men will be at the Greatest Royal Rumble. This is a recipe for chaos.

We can absolutely imagine Joe interfering in the match and tipping it in favour of The Beast Incarnate. Of course, they've had their issues in the past, but right now this Samoan has another of his kin in his crosshairs.

#2 Brock Lesnar wins the match clean

The Beast may not be ready to lose his title just yet
The Beast may not be ready to lose his title just about yet

The Beast conquered the Big Dog at WrestleMania 34. He may do so again at the Greatest Royal Rumble. The idea may be for him to lose the match somewhere down the line. Maybe to a performer who's more over than Roman Reigns.

Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe may be worthy contenders for this very same role. The audience is into them far more than they are into Reigns. Lesnar could pass the torch to one of them.

Nobody will be surprised if Lesnar goes over clean this time. After the shock that was WrestleMania 34, things are far less surprising now!

#1 Roman Reigns wins clean

It may be time for the Big Dog to reclaim his yard from the Beast Incarnate

Roman Reigns is the second highest merchandise seller in WWE. While he may not find favour with a certain section of the audience, he is significantly more popular outside the United States. WWE probably hopes that the audience in Saudi Arabia will support Roman Reigns in his brand new heroic endeavour. Therefore, the title change may occur outside the US.

WWE will finally have their moment with Reigns as the top guy and a crowd showering praise upon him if everything does go according to plan. Audiences in the Middle East are comparatively far more starved for sports entertainment. They may be better disposed towards The Big Dog.

That concludes our predictions for the match. Which of these situations do you find most plausible?
