5 Reasons why Paul Heyman turned heel and helped Bobby Lashley win the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble 2022

#1. The nature of Bobby Lashley's win sets up the WrestleMania main event

We're not sure if Bobby Lashley will headline WrestleMania night one, but Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar will certainly headline night two. The finish of the match saw Reigns come out to attack Lesnar, and Paul Heyman turned heel to assist him and achieve the act of revenge.

One piece of bad news because of this is that the comedic side of Brock Lesnar is probably gone for good. We're going to see the more serious, intense side of Lesnar, and this also confirms that he will remain a babyface.

There were rumors of a multi-match series between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, and after the Day 1 match was canceled, it only made the WrestleMania main event have more value.

The finish was meant to highlight Reigns vs. Lesnar, and despite his WWE title win, Lashley was almost the side character in it all. While some expected the heel turn from Heyman to happen later, this directly sets up the main match of WrestleMania 38. Will The Beast Incarnate be the man to dethrone The Tribal Chief?
