Bad news wrestling fans! It seems that the possible Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar championship match at Wrestlemania 31 might be scrapped as new developments concerning Lesnar's opponent at Wrestlemania have been revealed.
Roman Reigns will get his shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Champ at Wrestlemania 31, but reports from Sports World News claimed that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and WWE COO Triple H are rumored to be at odds over who will face Lesnar in the show of shows. The website stated that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will likely be the No.1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight title.
But the Rock isn't the only person being given a no.1 contender spot. According to reports from SBNATION, Batista is rumored to return to WWE to face Brock Lesnar for his title at Wrestlemania or before the PPV event. The news site described what will happen if these two collide.
"Let's flash forward to the Raw past Night Of Champions. Cena is laid to rest once again by Lesnar and it looks like we will have a dominant champion for the foreseeable future. Triple H thanks Lesnar once again and flaunts him around the ring.
"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH".
"Out walks Batista, and you bet your ass he knows what he wants and he wants that now.
Batista shakes the champion's hand and Triple H is greeted with a huge hug. He makes it appear he is here to be Lesnar's "Drax the Detsroyer" but no.
"Remember Hunter, you said no one gets anything until The Shield is destroyed? It appears that the deed was done. Remember when I stepped aside for what was best for business? I allowed that triple threat match be made. I see that you finally found an answer to Bryan because you couldn't do it yourself. Now, that one on one title request I made is a DEMAND (peels shades off)
"Triple H stands between the two beasts but he's shoved to the side so the two can stare each other down. Finally, Brock slaps Batista, and the latter is pushed back. When Lesnar goes to follow up with a punch, Batista spears him.
And the match is on!"
Wrestling Observer reporter Dave Meltzer shared his comments on the whole Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesner Wrestlemania match.
"Regarding rumors that Roman Reigns may challenge Brock Lesnar next for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after the upcoming WWE Night Of Champions pay-per-view, that appears to not be the case.
WWE officials are reportedly still looking to hold off on Reigns winning the WWE title until next year’s WrestleMania.
Reigns is still viewed within WWE as “the chosen one,” but the idea behind his push right now is for him to slowly rise to the top and having him lose to Lesnar at this point would be counterproductive.
WWE is still looking to have Reigns win the title at WrestleMania 31, giving him his big WrestleMania moment and fully capitalizing on his push to the top."
So this begs the question; Who will "the Beast Incarnate" face at Wrestlemania 31? Will it be Roman Reigns, The Rock, or "The Animal" Batisa. Guess we will find out very soon.
