![]() ![]() He's the perfect babyface fans could rally behind if WWE plays up the sympathy angle. ![]() Big E's title run, after all, was a rushed-together mess that didn't do him any favors. Lesnar-Lashley main-events the Rumble while, say, Big E gets the Royal Rumble win and chooses to have another shot at Lesnar. Fans have workshopped a feud between those two for years, and Lashley has talked about it since at least 2008. That staredown between Lesnar and Lashley seemed to hint that a dream match is on the horizon. Who was scheduled to win before Lesnar got added to the match? WWE could blur the lines between real and fake well here.Īnd the biggest point of all, the Royal Rumble is next. Rollins had a title match that added three more names. Owens has great cause to want revenge after re-signing with WWE, making him seemingly the first major name to not jump ship to All Elite Wrestling in recent years. This all works under the presumption Reigns will be back by April too (part of his hiatus in 2020 was because of the COVID-19 pandemic).īut think of the storyline potential. Granted, WWE doesn't necessarily want to go away from that money matchup, especially given the potential ability to reel in non-hardcore fans for the biggest event of the year. And frankly, as fun as Reigns is as this heel character and as enjoyable as Lesnar is as the opposite, which puts a new spin on their rivalry, the match has already main-evented multiple 'Manias. They initially headlined October's Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia, were set to do the same here and likely then again at 'Mania while smoothly working in the Paul Heyman angle.īut now WWE doesn't have to be tied to that idea. And there's a special opportunity for WWE to take real-life unfortunate circumstances and make magic with it.įunnily enough, Saturday night always felt like a holding-pattern sort of match before Lesnar and Reigns had their final encounter at WrestleMania in April. ![]()
