Roman Reigns just cost Brock Lesnar his WWE Championship and knows that The Beast will be coming for him.

It's unclear why WWE hasn't just allowed the two men to collide in the Middle East, but given the fact that Lesnar is now in the Chamber match, it obviously can't happen.

Brock Lesnar's best friend in WWE is Shelton Benjamin. The two men came through the ranks together and are close in real life as well. If Reigns wanted to get over even more as a heel then destroying his best friend would be a great route to go.

Benjamin is a RAW Superstar but given that this is a joint premium live event there shouldn't be an issue with Reigns going head-to-head with the former member of The Hurt Business.

Lesnar could then look to help his friend but would have to go through The Bloodline which would see him hit the ring a little too late.
