Brock Lesnar is the current Universal Champion, and Roman Reigns is set to face Brock Lesnar for the title at SummerSlam. This is the fourth time Roman Reigns is going to face Lesnar for the championship.
Former WWE Superstar Ryback spoke to STITCHER (H/T to Wrestling Inc for the transcription) and shared his thoughts on the match.
“They want Roman Reigns to be the guy to beat Brock Lesnar.
You have to look at it that you are selling to the house market that a big win over Brock Lesnar does more for you worldwide than just that hardcore audience [if Lashley would have won] regardless of what they think, something like that they are going more global.
You have to look at the big win Roman Reigns had over The Undertaker and other wins that he has been afforded over the years.
That adds up and sells merchandise, and that puts him in that sort of position.”
It’s no longer a secret that Brock Lesnar is going to UFC to make an impact in the octagon, and Lesnar realizes that his wrestling days are numbered. WWE is advertising Brock Lesnar to appear at RAW the night after Summerslam. Only time will tell how things will play out after SummerSlam between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
