Spoiler for Brock Lesnar’s first 3 opponents after WWE Championship win

Originally,
the
WWE
Title
match
was
scheduled
to
be
a
Fatal-4-Way
with
the
former
champion
Big
E
defending
against
Seth
Rollins,
Kevin
Owens,
and
Bobby
Lashley.
On
the
other
hand,
Brock
Lesnar
was
set
to
challenge
Universal
Champion
Roman
Reigns
in
the
main
event.

However,
Roman
Reigns
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
prior
to
the
PPV
that
resulted
in
his
Universal
Title
defence
getting
cancelled.
Lesnar
was
then
added
to
the
WWE
Championship
match,
making
it
a
Fatal-5-Way.

In
the
end,
Lesnar
pinned
Big
E
to
clinch
the
title
win
while
the
PPV
ended
with
a
staredown
with
Lashley.
Now
reports
claim
that
these
latter
two
names
are
the
frontrunners
to
get
title
shots
from
the
new
champion.

#TheBeast
is
unleashed!
Who
can
stop

One
of
the
first
planned
opponents
for
the
new
WWE
Champion
will
reportedly
be
former
WWE
Champion
Bobby
Lashley,
according
to
Dave
Meltzer.
In
an
update,
WWFOldSchool
reports
that
Brock
Lesnar
vs.
Big
E
for
the
WWE
Championship
is
currently
planned
for
the
Royal
Rumble
2022
PPV.

After
the
obligated
rematch
for
Big
E
gets
over,
the
dream
match
between
Brock
Lesnar
vs.
Bobby
Lashley
is
being
targeted
for
the
Super
ShowDown
2022
PPV
in
Saudi
Arabia
in
February.

Then
Brock
Lesnar
vs.
Roman
Reigns
is
still
pencilled
in
to
happen
WrestleMania
38,
which
should
mark
the
end
of
their
ongoing
feud.
No
information
was
revealed
on
whether
Lesnar
will
still
be
the
WWE
Title,
heading
into
Wrestlemania.

In
case
he
holds
the
prestigious
belt
until
the
Biggest
Event
of
the
Year,
then
his
scheduled
bout
against
Reigns
could
become
a
Champion
vs.
Champion
encounter
in
a
battle
where
two
prime
champions
from
Raw
and
Smackdown
will
go
head-to-head.

Brock
Lesnar
is
a
free
agent
in
the
WWE
since
he
wasn’t
picked
by
any
particular
brand
during
the
Draft
2021
edition.
But
since
he’s
holding
the
WWE
Championship,
he’s
likely
to
be
a
part
of
the
Raw
brand,
moving
forward.
More
on
the
story
will
unfold
from
this
week’s
red
brand
episode.
