It is fair to say that the majority of the WWE Universe did not have much excitement for Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns’ WrestleMania matches. Their WrestleMania 31 match exceeded expectations, but the WrestleMania 34 rematch was essentially hijacked by fans who never even wanted it to take place.

Now, under different circumstances, there would be very few complaints if WWE booked another Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar match in 2021. The reason for that is simple: Paul Heyman.

Before Roman Reigns’ heel turn, there would have been no need for his storyline with Lesnar to be revisited. Now that he is aligned with Heyman, it would make sense for the former WrestleMania opponents to battle it out again when Lesnar returns.

As of the time of writing, The Beast is believed to be a free agent. Contract talks between Lesnar and WWE hit an impasse in 2020, according to PW Insider’s Mike Johnson. However, that does not necessarily mean that he will not appear in WWE again.

Goldberg is another probable opponent for Roman Reigns in 2021, but the chances of him pinning the former Shield member are very slim.
