Regarding rumors that Roman Reigns may challenge Brock Lesnar next for the
WWE World Heavyweight Championship after the upcoming WWE Night Of Champions
pay-per-view, that appears to not be the case.
WWE officials are reportedly still looking to hold off on Reigns winning the
WWE title until next year’s WrestleMania.
Reigns is still viewed within WWE as “the chosen one,” but the idea behind
his push right now is for him to slowly rise to the top and having him lose to
Lesnar at this point would be counterproductive.
WWE is still looking to have Reigns win the title at WrestleMania 31, giving
him his big “WrestleMania moment” and fully capitalizing on his push to the
top.
