Ten Controversial Extreme Rules Rumors That WWE Fans Need To Know About

#4 Possible stipulation for Roman Reigns versus Bobby Lashley

Could this become a Number one Contenders match for The Universal Title?

Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns have been butting heads on Monday Night Raw lately and fans are starting to wonder where it's all going to lead to. While the original plan was apparently a six-pack challenge match to determine the new number one contender for The Universal Title, but WWE seems to have a new plan in place.

It is being rumored that Lashley and Reigns will face off at Extreme Rules, which hasn't been officially announced yet and Wrestlingnews.com is also speculating that WWE could make it a number one contenders match as well. Why WWE would do that after canceling the first match is a little confusing, but it looks like the company still wants to focus on Reigns.

In fact, according to Cagidesideseats.com's Rumor Roundup, "Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal title is still the plan, and Vince McMahon is sticking with the original story idea from WrestleMania. That’s the point behind all the Lesnar stuff, to get fans hating him and babyface Reigns for his title win."

How this ultimately all plays out remains to be seen and will be highly dependent on if WWE still has faith in Reigns as a top star. With that being said, however, it still seems pointless to cancel an exciting multi-person number one contenders match in favor of just having Lashley and Reigns fight for the chance to face Lesnar.
