It seems that the announced Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns Universal Championship match at Crown Jewel won\'t be the concluding bout for their rivalry.
Lesnar and Reigns\' program is expected to extend beyond this upcoming match, according to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
\"From what we understand, and what makes sense, is this is not a one-and-done program,\" said Meltzer. \"For one, unless Dwayne Johnson is wrestling Reigns at next year’s WrestleMania, this would appear to be the biggest possible Mania match.\"
He added, \"So the idea here is to build to a return, whether that means Lesnar wins to build to a rematch or some disputed decision takes place.\"
Paul Heyman\'s loyalty will be a big part of how this story unfolds. Heyman has guided both men to the top of WWE and we don\'t know which side he will take when the time comes.
Lesnar made his surprise return at SummerSlam after more than a year away from WWE programming. He confronted Reigns, who had just beaten John Cena in the main event.
Heyman has been the centerpiece of the storyline between these two. Just last week, Brock Lesnar announced that he had become a free agent thanks to his advocate. WWE has announced that Roman Reigns will have to defend his championship against the Beast at the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV.
It will be interesting to see which man Heyman sides with, when the inevitable choice is presented.
