Roman Reigns will challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship on August 19th. The rematch from Wrestlemania will happen at the main event of Summerslam PPV.
Fans do care the least about this contest since the outcome seems inevitable. The poster boy of the company will pick up his first Universal Championship and show the doors to the beast incarnate.
Now general planning like this can’t make the fans happy at all. They are not over with Roman Reigns at all. The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York will boo him out of the building after the championship coronation.
So we can expect a twist in the tale before Summerslam comes to an end. After all, a Monster in the Bank is patiently waiting with his title match contract.
WWE Worldwide 2.0 Facebook page has come up with a major championship planning that will continue for the entire post-Summerslam season. WWE officials are in with the idea of pushing Braun Strowman as much as they could. They protected this monster since day one and now is the right time to give him the championship.
Currently, the plan for Braun Strowman is to face and squash Kevin Owens in quick time. The MITB briefcase hanging in the balance is just to hype-up the matchup. The contract will not change hands, as per the source. Later the night, he will cash in on Roman Reigns who will beat Brock Lesnar to pick up the Universal title.
It would delight the fans to a big extent and start a rivalry between Strowman and Owens following Summerslam. Meanwhile, the creative team is willing to insert Alexa Bliss into the mix. She will begin by claiming that nobody but herself deserves respect as a woman and the main event of Evolution PPV.
Roman Reigns would be the defender of all the other women. While Braun will recreate a romantic angle with Little Miss Bliss, the Big Dog will speak for all the other women superstars in the locker room. It will set up a championship matchup for the Evolution PPV.
Check out the updates from the source,
“The match is expected to be an Honour of Women (defended by Roman Reigns) vs Universal Title(defended by Braun Strowman). Every female member of the roster is expected to be on Roman’s corner. This match is expected to main event the night. The idea is to close the show with Roman celebrating after Ronda Rousey raises his hand. WWE firmly believes that this will get the fans to cheer for Roman Reigns.”
It sounds like that WWE will be pushing forward this idea that involves the prime championship. We have not seen such interesting planning involving male and female superstars together. It could turn out to be a blockbuster match if executed properly.
