WWE News: Possible Outcome of Roman Reigns vs Bobby Lashley on RAW

The main event of tonight’s WWE Raw was set last week. We will see a rematch from the Extreme Rules PPV event. Two of the behemoth names will fight it out yet again to secure the contender’s spot for the Universal Championship.

This spot is empty for a quite a long time due to the hiatus of the champion himself, Brock Lesnar. But he will be back to defend the title at Summerslam.

Hence, the general manager of WWE Raw arranged a couple of matches to determine his next challenger. Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley won these two matches to confirm a showdown. The stipulation states the winner of it will go on to headline Summerslam alongside the beast incarnate.

Now some of the critics and fans see a major problem around this match. Bobby Lashley had already won the Extreme Rules match against Roman Reigns, clean and clear. So he does not need to prove himself again to head into Summerslam title match. It indicates the favouritism the company has for the franchise player of the company.

Earlier reports also suggested that Roman Reigns is the clear-cut favourite to challenge Brock Lesnar for the umpteenth time in his career. It can create a major backlash for the fans. They are tired of seeing Reigns trying and failing again the champion for multiple years now. The repetitiveness of the match might ruin the main event.

Hence, the officials might have changed the planning. As per the latest reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is willing to host a triple threat main event match featuring Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Bobby Lashley. It could avoid the negative reactions towards the match. Check out the updates from stillrealtous.com in this context,

“There’s speculation that WWE might book a triple threat for the Universal Title match which would see Lesnar defend against Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley. Reigns beating Lashley on Raw could potentially devalue Lashley’s win over Reigns at Extreme Rules, and the idea is that a triple threat would likely receive a better reaction from the crowd rather than a singles match featuring Roman Reigns.”

If this is going to be the case, then we might not get a definite winner from tonight’s WWE Raw main event. The match is likely to have a disqualified or count-out outcome that will allow the GM to announce this triple threat match at Summerslam. Being a babyface, he will like to hand the opportunity to both these superstars.
