Rumor Roundup: Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar Plans, Austin Theory’s Big Future, More

1) Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar Plans

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that he was told Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar will not be a title vs title match at Wrestlemania 38.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“I was told no. That they just did it because those two guys had the belt at the time. So it made sense to do it at the time. But, at the time, that was not the direction that they were planning on…

Lesnar and Reigns are going to have a match. I think we’ll have a lot better idea of what’s gonna happen after the Royal Rumble. But, if Seth wins and then Lesnar’s wrestling Roman, I would presume Roman beats him to win a belt back. Because Lesnar’s not going to be around long-term and Roman will be around every week.

And then Rollins, I don’t know what their plans are as far as how long he would go long-term. They could have Big E beat him or they could just keep Seth going. They could have Lashley or… Kevin Owens. I mean there’s a lot of different ways they can go.”

My Take:

  • I think this is smart. Brock vs Roman is not a feud that needs to be title vs title.
