5 Things to watch out for at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble event

Greatest Royal Rumble
The Greatest Royal Rumble could prove to be the greatest pay-per-view of the year.

#3 The Universal Championship finishes

Greatest Royal Rumble
This match will determine what WWE's priority will be going forward.

When it comes to Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship, there are only two potential outcomes: Lesnar retains the title or Reigns wins it.

Either one of them is something to pay close attention to, though, as they both have massive influences on the Raw roster going forward.

In one scenario, the steel cage could be a tool to have Reigns win the title without Lesnar looking all too weak—particularly if The Big Dog wins by escape, rather than pinfall or submission.

In the other scenario of The Beast Incarnate being victorious, this would be the second time in a row and the fourth time overall that Reigns came up short against Lesnar.

If Reigns is going to lose, he may do so due to interference from someone who helps Lesnar out, in order to keep Reigns from looking too weak at that point, or a clean loss could signify a change in the dynamic of pushing him as the top of the top.

On the other hand, Lesnar could also lose due to interference if a new feud is to be started out of this, which could lead to his exit from WWE.

That in itself is something to pay attention to, as a win here for Lesnar is more evidence of him staying around at least until SummerSlam, if not longer, while a loss could be the last time we see him for quite a while.

The match might not be great, and the finish itself might not be something that gets a ton of positive feedback, but the outcome of this match has immense repercussions going forward.
