For the 56388ysy$^€®°%53th time, Roman Reigns will take on Brock Lesnar for the Universal title. Here are the top 5 ways this can go, strap on…in…either way:

Roman Reigns wins clean TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW– as painful as it would be to witness such awful storytelling, this is a very real possibility. Brock Lesnar is scheduled to be at the Raw after SummerSlam and an immediate rematch for the loser could easily be in the cards. In this scenario Lesnar is the loser.The WWE may be trying to rewrite the win/loss record between Reigns and Lesnar. At one Wrestlemania, Seth Rollins cashed in, WWE can talk it down and make it seem as if it doesn’t count, same with the multi-man match at SummerSlam a year back. The title match at the Greatest Royal Rumble has been spoken of as if it is a no contest so it too would not count in this WWE narrative. Making the only “true” loss Reigns ever suffered at the hands of Lesnar his recent Wrestlemania loss. If Reigns were to beat Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam the company could look to strengthen his record and put him over one more time the very nest night, before Lesnar moves on to the UFC. This would make Reigns 2-1 in this new narrative. Disgusting, I know but a REAL possibility.

Kevin Owens/Braun Strowman cashes in- no mystery about this. The cash in could happen during the match or after either Reigns or Lesnar wins. There is also the possibility Reigns somehow gets a rematch and has Lesnar down for the count and the MITB holder cashes in to end Raw.

Brock Lesnar retains and takes on Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley then loses title after UFC-its been rumored for weeks now, that Brock is actually in talks with McMahon about a contract extension that could see him retain his title and work for both UFC and WWE. I believe this is a rumor just to keep the audience guessing.

Roman turns heel with the help of Paul Heyman– this is the least likely to happen (in my opinion). It may be the least likely but it is definitely the most wanted. This would be a new chapter in th Roman Empire and a much needed refreshing of the character. With a roster full of diminished heels, this may not be as far fetched as one may think. Reigns could also be paired with Owens or a newly turned Dean Ambrose, who knows?

Brock retains and Roman wins the title the next night on Raw- finally a scenario that makes sense for WWE to do, not sense period, but for WWE. Wwe loves 50/50 booking and this goofy decision would be right up their alley with Reigns getting ANOTHER undeserved match for the Universal title.

I have believed, for a while now, that Lesnar refuses to drop the title to Reigns and there are certainly ways to get the title off of Brock without him being pinned by the Big Dog. We will see; we are all intrigued WWE, do your worst!
