Brock Lesnar's return from suspension came in time for the build to WWE Day 1, leading to the announcement of his rematch against Roman Reigns. He continued to cause friction between his rival and Paul Heyman, which proved pivotal this time around.

When confronted by The Tribal Chief a couple of weeks ago, Heyman claimed he was protecting him from Lesnar. Reigns fired his special counsel and laid him out with a Superman Punch before The Beast Incarnate made the save.

Paul Heyman is in no-man's land right now, not in either man's corner. He even acknowledged that this might be the end of his WWE career. But will it remain this way?


#1 Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at WWE Day 1 -- who will win?

So, here we are. The new year is days away, but will there be a new Universal Champion?

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that something big is in the works for the match at Day 1. Amid the recent concerns of COVID-19 in WWE, the presence of Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Paul Heyman at the event is very important in the context of WrestleMania 38.

While this could mean a variety of things, the most likely outcome is a double-cross from Heyman. His firing may turn out to be a ruse all along, as he looks to help Lesnar before betraying him. The partnership between Heyman and Reigns does not feel finished.

With The Beast Incarnate screwed out of another Universal Title match, he can win the Royal Rumble Match to complete the trilogy with The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania. Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar will likely main event The Show of Shows, where there is a case for either man to win.

Prediction: Roman Reigns wins at WWE Day 1 after Paul Heyman betrays Brock Lesnar; Lesnar wins the Royal Rumble Match to face Reigns again at WrestleMania 38
