There was no need for another match between them at SummerSlam

Roman Reigns will face Brock Lesnar for the fourth time at WWE SummerSlam 2018. This is Roman Reign's seventh attempt at winning the Universal Championship and he is probably going to finally dethrone Brock Lesnar.

However, there was no need to have Roman Reigns face Brock Lesnar again.

And here's why -


#1 We have already seen this before

Granted, WWE has finally succeeded in getting the WWE Universe behind Reigns after years of trying. Lesnar did a good job playing the lazy part-timer who doesn't care about the WWE fans and even his advocate, Paul Heyman.

The crowd chanting "WE WANT ROMAN!" shows that they finally root for the Big Dog and are willing to give this match a chance if WWE continues capitalizing on this segment and makes sure that other segments involving Reigns and Lesnar are just as good as the segment involving the Beast Incarnate, Kurt Angle, Baron Corbin, and Paul Heyman

However, it feels like at this point, the WWE Universe will root for anyone challenging Lesnar for the Universal Championship, considering nobody wants him as the Universal Champion.

And in the opening segment of the July 30th 2018 edition of WWE RAW, Roman Reigns said the same thing he has been saying for a good number of times regarding Lesnar - he doesn't respect the Beast Incarnate, Lesnar should show up more and so on.

The opening segment was repetitive and the WWE Creative team needs to come up with something else too in order to ensure a good buildup to Reigns vs Lesnar 4.

Make no mistake, this feud (for now) is Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar WrestleMania 34 feud done right. But this segment should have been on their buildup to WrestleMania 34, not now.

#2 Roman Reigns doesn't need to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam

That is why, even if he doesn't face Brock at SummerSlam, it won't hurt Reigns' push. In fact, a lot of people would be okay with Reigns not being in the main event feud for SummerSlam.

It would have been interesting to see Reigns challenging Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship.

Considering the Big Dog's position in the WWE, Reigns is a type of guy who can stay on the mid-card for five months and would still find himself back to the main event spot once again. Whether you like it or not, it is inevitable that Reigns will win the Universal Championship

A Fatal four-Way match between Reigns, Seth Rollins, Ziggler, and Drew Mcintyre would have been more exciting than another Rollins vs Ziggler match at SummerSlam.

Like Rollins, Reigns has a problem with both Ziggler and Mcintyre. It only makes sense that Reigns also goes after Ziggler and Mcintyre.

The tag team match involving Rollins, Reigns, Ziggler, and Mcintyre shows that these four have great chemistry with each other and they are more than capable of having a great match, whether if its a tag team match or a four-way match

Roman Reigns could have been a better opponent for Finn Balor than Baron Corbin for SummerSlam. Both Reigns and Balor had good TV matches before. They can have a better match in a pay per view as big as SummerSlam and Finn Balor needs a rivalry with someone as big as Reigns in order to remind the audience that Balor is a top star and continue to stay relevant.

#3 There are better options than Reigns

Finn Balor was WWE's first Universal Champion. The only reason his title reign ended was that he had to relinquish the belt due to an injury. Ever since returning, not only is he floundering, but he has yet to get a title shot. There are a lot of wrestlers on RAW that needed to face Lesnar for the Universal Championship more than Roman Reigns.

Rollins has been white hot in 2018 and many call him the MVP of this year. People wanted Rollins to be the one to dethrone Brock Lesnar.

People would root for Rollins if he faced Lesnar at SummerSlam, even if he doesn't mention Brock being a part-timer.

They both have a history and Brock has never pinned the Architect or made him tap out in a one on one match. Also, Rollins is the one who took the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar.

Nobody needed a match with Lesnar more than Bobby Lashley. Ever since returning to WWE, Lashley didn't do anything noteworthy. In May, he was put in a horrible feud with Sami Zayn that did nothing for the two other than cooling down Lashley and making the casual viewers lose interest in him.

At Extreme Rules, he beat Roman Reigns cleanly, which gave Lashley's fans some hope that he might do well in WWE, only to lose to the Big Dog in the No.1 contenders match, when it mattered the most.

Losing to Reigns not only rendered Lashley's win over Reigns at Extreme Rules meaningless, but Lashley lost the momentum he got after defeating Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules.

Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar is a much better choice for the SummerSlam main event. Not only is Lashley vs Lesnar refreshing, but it is also a dream match. Like Lesnar, Lashley is a legitimate badass who has a good win-loss record (15 wins and two losses) in MMA.

In the world of Mixed Martial Arts, Lashley has won XFN Heavyweight Championship and Shark Fights Heavyweight Championship.

He would have been more believable to beat Lesnar than Roman Reigns. Until now, Lashley's return to WWE has been wasted. As good as Elias is, feuding with someone like him is a step down for Bobby Lashley

Money in the Bank contract needs to come into play.

Reigns vs Lesnar 4, unless they continue having a great feud and buildup, is going to be another lacklustre performance.

Even if both Lesnar and Reigns try to have a great match, the Brooklyn crowd may not give this match a chance.

Having either Reigns or Lesnar leave the Barclays Center as the Universal Champion is bad-booking.

The only good outcome to this match is to have either Strowman or Owens (Should he beat Braun Strowman at SummerSlam) cash in their Money in the Bank contract and win the WWE Universal Championship.
