Rumor: Here’s How Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar Might End At Summerslam

That’s one way to go. We’re less than a week away from Summerslam and the main event certainly has people talking. This year’s show will be headlined by Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title and that presents a problem. Reigns isn’t the most liked person on the roster and there’s a good chance that he won’t be cheered no matter what happens. WWE is looking for a way around it and they seem to have an idea.

According to Rajah.com, one of the potential endings to the match would see Reigns winning clean to become Universal Champion, only to send Lesnar over the edge in the process. Lesnar would attack Reigns, which would draw out Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose in a Shield reunion. The trio would TripleBomb Lesnar through the announcers’ table to end the show. Ambrose hasn’t wrestled this year after suffering an arm injury last December.

Reigns knows how to hurt him.

Opinion: That’s been an idea that has floated around in recent months and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the way they went. At the end of the day, Reigns isn’t going to get cheered on his own, but the Shield would be. The problem though is it doesn’t exactly make the underlying problem any better. Reigns is still not popular and that’s not going to change as long as he’s with the Shield. It’s a safe port for him, but the team is cheered and not the one person they want to be cheered.

Do you like this plan? Do you think it could actually get Reigns cheered? Let us know in the comments below.
