Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have had many battles in the past, but now this is a totally different ballgame. We are yet to see what kind of animal ponytailed Brock Lesnar is, whether he'll become a white-meat babyface like Drew McIntyre or a more shades-of-gray character like Finn Balor is.

But make no mistake about it. This iteration of Roman Reigns is a more confident, more driven, more conniving individual than before. The upcoming match won't be a repeat of their previous bouts!

Brock Lesnar is clearly the babyface in the Roman Reigns feud, considering how The Tribal Chief has been portrayed on SmackDown. Not only does he terrorize the entire roster, but Reigns even bullies his own cousins, The Usos.

If babyface Brock Lesnar embraces the babyface side, he could have potential matchups against Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Omos, and Otis. Maybe in due time, the Bobby Lashley dream match as well.
