Both Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan may face each other for the Universal Championship to close out this year's WrestleMania Pay-Per-View.

Fans online have been positively receptive to this potential match because it is important to remember that this isn't 2015 anymore. Also, Reigns has evolved as a top star in the best way possible. The live audience's cheers are certainly indicative of The Big Dog's improvement on the main roster.

Bryan's "YES" Movement is also back in full force, so this WrestleMania season is certainly a favorable period for a clash between these two top stars.

But then again, during a backstage segment between Reigns and Bryan last night, the former was more than confident about winning the Royal Rumble match this year, and the latter is already looking past The Fiend to face The Big Dog at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

As we all know, plans change in WWE all the time, especially with WrestleMania around the corner. With this particular matchup becoming too obvious from January, it would be fair to think that plans might change along The Road to WrestleMania 36.

After all, it would be unfair to discard 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt out of the picture so early into his intriguing run as the Universal Champion.
