Roman Reigns Still Slated To Become WWE Universal Champion?

As seen on Sunday’s WrestleMania 34, WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar was successful in defending his title against Roman Reigns in the Main Event.

It had been heavily expected that Roman Reigns would walk out of WrestleMania 34 as the new Universal Champion, and Lesnar’s victory left many speculating as to what happened to the plan for Roman’s title run.

The subject was brought up on today’s episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez had a lot to say about the topic.

“Listen everybody, Roman Reigns is going to be the champion. I don’t know if he’s going to beat Brock at The Greatest Royal Rumble, although my gut tells me that he is. But he’s getting the belt. He was supposed to get the belt on Sunday all the up until Vince changed his mind for whatever reason”

Alvarez went on to expand on the subject by saying:

“But he did not change his mind because he decided, “Ah, this guy ain’t over” or “I got to turn him heel,” none of that. They decided to delay it, and Brock signed a short term deal. So it’s not going to be delayed long. Roman Reigns is going to be the guy that gets that title. Which by the way begs the question people have been asking, “Why is he even getting another match?” That’s a great question. I do not have an answer.”
