This would be the least-favorable direction for a Roman Reigns face turn, since it would involve rekindling his feud with Brock Lesnar. They main-evented WrestleMania together in 2015 and 2018 as well, with the latter being an underwhelming match.

Lesnar famously stormed backstage and threw the Universal Championship to Vince McMahon in the gorilla position. The feud would carry on and culminate at SummerSlam 2018, where Roman Reigns finally dethroned Brock Lesnar, taking less than ten minutes and getting a little assistance from Braun Strowman.

Although Lesnar is better on RAW than SmackDown, WWE could bring him to their new A-show again. This would lead to Paul Heyman having a conflict of interest, even though his dynamic with Roman Reigns is different from what it was with Brock Lesnar.

This could eventually lead to him turning on Reigns. If the two are to cross paths again, the heel, Tribal Chief version of Roman Reigns, is a more exciting option to face Brock Lesnar. But at this point, WWE fans may not be too keen to see the two men rekindle their rivalry.
