For several weeks leading up to Summerslam 2021, reports claimed that WWE wanted to do another Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns matchup. This match would have a completely new dynamic with the latter being the alpha male of the WWE roster these days in the absence of his adversary for almost one and a half years. Now that plans have been confirmed at the bygone PPV event.
As seen in the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2021 pay-per-view, Roman Reigns defeated WWE Legend John Cena to retain his Universal Championship via clean pinfall. After the match, Reigns stood tall over a lying Cena, and proceeded to mock him with the “You Can’t See Me” hand gesture when Brock Lesnar’s music hit the arena to send the fans into a frenzy.

Brock Lesnar then confronted Reigns and indicated that he’s coming for the Universal Title. Reigns left the ring opting to leave the fight for another day. Meanwhile, the returnee took on his frustrations on the fallen Cena who digested multiple German Suplexes. He was then finally planted with a devastating F-5 from his long-time rival.

Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar could happen at Crown Jewel 2021
A report from WWFOldSchool then claimed that WWE is planning to do a match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar for the title at their Crown Jewel 2021 pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia in October. This would be WWE’s return to the middle-east country since February of last year and that night is going to be a grand one.
Hence, the assumption is that The Tribal Chief vs. The Beast Incarnate will be the main event of the show. But then again, the PPV is two months away, with the rumored date being October 21. Hence, WWE might just arrange a program between Roman Reigns vs. Finn Balor for the Universal Championship at the Extreme Rules 2021 PPV on September 26.
In more news to the match, Wrestling Observer reported that WWE was originally planning to do the next installment of Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39 in 2023 since Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is the plan for WrestleMania 38 in 2022. But then Reigns vs. Lesnar was preponed given the returning Saudi show should have a big headliner match.
