• Huge Title Change Not Happening At Greatest Royal Rumble?

Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer is speculating that Brock Lesnar might retain the Universal Title against Roman Reigns in their steel cage match at the Greatest Royal Rumble next Friday because most fans won’t be watching the show live because of Friday being a working day.

Another possible reason could be WWE officials trying to have Lesnar overtake CM Punk’s WWE Title reign of 434 days.

However, as noted before via DirtySheets.Net, current plan is for Reigns to defeat Lesnar to capture the Universal Championship and then go on to defend the Title against Samoa Joe at Backlash 2018.
