#4. Roman Reigns gets another opponent at WrestleMania and not Brock Lesnar

As mentioned before, the originally planned main event of WrestleMania 38 Night Two was Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar. While Reigns picked up the win over Lesnar at Crown Jewel, something different may have been planned for Day 1.

The storyline, heavily-involving Paul Heyman could have potentially seen a finish that would continue the multi-match series until WrestleMania at the AT&T Stadium. However, Roman Reigns' positive COVID test has had rippling effects, and the match against Brock Lesnar might be scrapped or delayed.

Instead, there has to be a new contender from SmackDown. As of this writing, the only person who fits the bill for that is Drew McIntyre. Reigns has run through SmackDown and has taken out top contender after top contender, including the likes of Edge, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, John Cena, etc.

McIntyre is the only credible opponent for The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania right now, and AT&T Stadium could be the place where we finally see the end of Roman Reigns' soon-to-be record-breaking reign as Universal Champion.

However, there's always the possibility of WWE wanting Reigns' run to continue, which means that Drew McIntyre could lose his second WrestleMania world title match in a row. That might damage him a lot more than a loss would damage Roman Reigns - but this too is up for debate.
