The Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns saga continues, and while it wasn’t quite surprising considering WWE has been targeting Reigns vs Lesnar for WrestleMania 38, it was hard to believe that WWE made quick work of Lesnar as many expected the lead-up between both the wrestlers to only start after the Royal Rumble.

Roman Reigns retained the WWE Universal championship following DQ loss after his fight against Seth Rollins ended on a rather controversial note. Needless to say, WWE still wants to ensure Roman Reigns continues his reign as the WWE Universal Champion, and how the eventual showdown could boil down to Reigns’ streak on the line.
It’s safe to say that wrestling fans around the world can expect the drama between Reigns, Lesnar, and Heyman to continue as we head towards the biggest night in the history of wrestling, WrestleMania.
