WrestleMania 38 will also be a two-night affair, continuing the tradition of the last two years in the WWE to generate some more revenues. The event will take place on April 2 and April 3 at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. To sell out the venue with the capacity of hosting 100,000 people, WWE will need a big-time main event match as the headliner.
The Rock vs. Roman Reigns was rumored for a long-time to headline the bout for next year, but it’s been confirmed that The Rock won’t have a match at WrestleMania 38 given his tight schedule in Hollywood. Now the rumor mill is suggesting a triple threat of Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre for the Universal Championship or Reigns vs. Lesnar for the main event slot.

Professional wrestling fans also wanted to witness Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley bout for a long time which could be a possibility in the future. In addition, during a recent edition of his podcast, 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T stated that he wants to see Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley for the Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 38.

Wrestlemania 38: Big men are likely to headline
Going by his logic, the era of big men is back and they should steal the spotlight at Wrestlemania 38. This is what the veteran wrestler had to offer regarding the Show of Shows,
“Just imagine, if Brock and Roman do go out there and do it (at WrestleMania 38), the person that comes out and spoils the whole party is Bobby Lashley.
So, I’m thinking from a promoter’s standpoint to where everything right now is so much more in place for it to work out as opposed to 4 years ago, with Roman, with Brock, with Bobby.
The era of the ‘big man’ is back. To have three giants, three monsters, three true heavyweights going for the Heavyweight Championship – that’s money to be made anywhere in this business.” (quotes courtesy WWFOldSchool)
Going by the current scenario, it certainly seems like WWE is moving in the direction of letting the Heavyweights compete for the Heavyweight Championships, once again. The last set of Universal and WWE Champions have all been heavyweights namely, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, Goldberg, Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, and Big E.
