5 things WWE can do to make Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34 more interesting

It's no secret that the WWE Universe is a little weary about seeing Roman Reigns compete in yet another main event match at the grandest stage of them all, and while a lot of that has to do with how much WWE has already pushed Reigns down fans throats over the years, it is also due to the fact that they have passed over other deserving talent in order to do so.

With that being said, WWE currently finds themselves at a crossroads and desperately needs to change up their rumored main event match of Reigns versus Lesnar for the Universal title in order to get fans behind it. Of course that's not going to be easy considering how deeply some fans despise Reigns, but these five things might help save the match a little bit.

#5 Stipulation

The Hell in a Cell structure being lowered.

There's nothing like a good stipulation to make a match more memorable and intense than it would have been otherwise. Sure, the stipulation doesn't always fit the match, but it's hard to argue that a second encounter between Reigns and Lesnar doesn't warrant the use of some kind of stipulation at play.

With that being said, the addition of Hell in a Cell, an Extreme Rules match, or even a falls count anywhere match would do a lot to help raise the intensity level and even the stakes of the match. In the end, it's not like Reigns and Lesnar can't have another great standard bout; it just would be a lot more interesting if WWE attached a stipulation to it.

#4 Special guest referee

What impact would Paul Heyman have as a special guest referee?

Another way WWE can raise the stakes in this match is by introducing a special guest referee into the mix. Not only could a special guest referee help create doubt as to who will ultimately come out on top in the main event contest, it will also allow WWE a variety of options when it comes to the end of the match.

For example, if WWE introduced Triple H or Stephanie McMahon as a special guest referee, it would allow for Reigns to be screwed out of the victory without hurting him with a clean pin. If WWE wanted to do the opposite, they could screw over Lesnar by aiding Reigns in winning the championship, which would protect Lesnar from a clean loss as well.

This of course would be used as a way to take the sting out of a loss for either superstar and also keeps them booked strong after WrestleMania 34. Then again, WWE could really switch things up by having Paul Heyman be the special guest referee, which would be a huge swerve for fans, and allow Lesnar to be pinned without losing momentum.

#3 Getting personal

WWE has done a masterful job of making feuds personal in the past, especially in the build up of previous WrestleManias, and could no doubt do the same thing again in this year's build up to Lesnar and Reigns at WrestleMania 34. In fact, it could create a new wrinkle in their rivalry and get fans invested on a much deeper level.

While WWE has admittedly been hit or miss when trying to make Roman Reigns's feuds more personal, it's hard to argue that Lesnar going around and decimating those closest to Reigns wouldn't create a lot of sympathy for The Big Dog. In fact, if Lesnar were to attack Ambrose while he was recovering in the hospital or at home, it could create a lot of buzz around the match.

Lesnar could then systematically destroy people close to him week after week, which would culminate in The Beast Incarnate going to Reigns's house and confronting his wife and daughter. Not only would all this humanize Reigns to the point of gaining massive fan support, it would also build upon Shield nostalgia to give him a much needed rub.

#2 Adding someone to the match

Why doesn't Finn Balor get another shot at The Universal Title?

Let's be honest here - Brock Lesnar versus Roman Reigns on its own is not going to be a WrestleMania worthy main event. Of course, people are going to think that it has to do with the immense amount of dislike the former Shield member garners on a weekly basis, but it is also due to the fact that WWE has already done this before.

In fact, WWE tried to do this same match at WrestleMania 31 as a way to cement Reigns as a future WWE Hall of Famer, but they ended up having to abandon that outcome after the fans didn't receive Reigns well leading up to the match. Interestingly enough, WWE were then forced to turn it into an impromptu triple threat after Rollins decided to cash in on Lesnar and Reigns.

With that being said, it should pretty obvious that WWE would greatly benefit from a adding a third man to match at WrestleMania. Not only does doing so give Lesnar the chance to keep his undefeated streak going, it also allows WWE to build up a young underdog in order to garner more interest for the match.

In the end, WWE really needs to consider a plan B here, and it would be wise to put someone like Braun Strowman, The Miz, Finn Balor, or even Seth Rolins into the Universal title picture at WrestleMania 34. If not, they risk upsetting fans at this year's show of shows, and even further hurting Reigns in the long run if they do decide to give him the title.

#1 Different outcome

There is nothing better in the WWE than when something unexpected happens.

Whether the unexpected occurs in the form of an interference, an untimely betrayal, or even the surprise underdog win of the century, an unexpected moment is one of the best ways to cement a match or segment in WWE history. The only question is this; will WWE choose to take this option and not go with Reigns as their winner at WrestleMania 34?

In the end, if WWE could insert Balor, Rollins or even Strowman into the match, it would be a great way for WWE to make sure fans leave happy after the event. It also finally cements someone other then Roman Reigns as a main event contender, which would be huge for WWE after three straight WrestleManias headlined by Roman Reigns.
