Roman Reigns after defeating Big E at Survivor Series 2021 (WWE)
WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to face Brock Lesnar at WWE Day 1
Brock Lesnar returned to SmackDown after his suspension was lifted and thrashed the number 1 contender Sami Zayn to book his place against Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship.
They are set to face off for the second time in just 3 months at WWE DAY 1 PPV on January 1st 2022. Both the Superstars will be headlining the event. Many fans were quite surprised when it was revealed that The Beast will be facing Reigns on the event as all were expecting a WrestleMania 38 clash between the two.
Zayn tried his best to get scheduled for about against Reigns at the PPV, but Lesnar made sure that didn’t happen as he knocked Zayn down with a series of German Suplexes and an F5.
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the plan of WWE is to have a series of Matches between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
“Regarding Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar as the main event for Day One, this is scheduled to be a multi-match series and this being one of the matches in the series.” (H/t Wrestling News)
There’s a lot of speculation regarding whether The Tribal Chief will be facing The Beast or The Rock at WrestleMania 38. The latter doesn’t seem to be in the works as there is a significantly more significant chance of Brock vs Reigns headlining WrestleMania for the third time in six years.
Reigns are now 463 days into his Universal Championship reign and will be surpassing Lesar’s record soon.
