5 Possible outcomes for Lesnar Vs. Reigns at SummerSlam

SummerSlam is a dual-brand pay-per-view which is set to take place on August 19, 2018, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Till now only 5 matches are being official-- AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe (WWE championship), Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns (Universal Championship), Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey (Raw Women's Championship), Carmella (c) vs. Becky Lynch(SmackDown Women's Championship), Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Championship) and Braun Strowman (h) vs. Kevin Owens(Money in the Bank Briefcase). From all of the above matches, the major attraction is Lesnar (c) vs. Reigns.

Both, Roman and Lesnar have met on different occasions in the past. And always in the ending Lesnar stood tall. Some fans may hate him or love him but Roman will eventually become the Universal Champion one day. It could very well happen at this year's SummerSlam. With him finally defeating "The Beast Incarnate" will not only make him look stronger but also it will make him really a main-event superstar that he was meant to. We could finally see that championship to be defended every week on Raw and PPV.

This past Raw, Bobby Lashley, and Roman Reigns battled to become the No.1 contender for Universal Championship in which Reigns stood tall to challenge Lesnar. It will be curious to watch who will reign superior in this bout, will it be 'The Big Dog' Roman Reigns or 'The Beast Incarnate' Brock Lesnar. No matter what the result is, this match is going to be an interesting one.

Here in this list, I will feature top 5 possible outcomes for the Lesnar Vs. Reigns (Universal Championship) at SummerSlam. Don't just wait, Read on!

#5 Lesnar wins clean

I wonder what good will that title do for Lesnar if he's getting the things done in UFC?

Lesnar will defend his title for the first time since April 27 against Reigns, who beat Bobby Lashley just a couple weeks after losing to Lashley at Extreme Rules. Whilst Lesnar is looking forward to competing in UFC against Daniel Cormier, it will be interesting to see whether he drops the title at SummerSlam PPV or perhaps the next night on Raw.

Maybe after delivering a few F-5’s, Brock Lesnar pins Roman Reigns clean to retain his Universal Title and goes on to UFC to challenge Cormier. But thus far this scenario is unlikely to happen because then the Raw brand will have no major championship to represent. I wonder what good will that title do for Lesnar if he's getting the things done in UFC? That title will again become relevant as there will be no one to show it up on Raw and defend it week after week.

#4 Owens Cash-in

If Owens finds a way to beat Strowman for the briefcase then he could cash-in it at SummerSlam

This sounds stupid but I mean this could happen. Braun Strowman and Kevin Owens have a match at SummerSlam for the Money in the Bank Briefcase. After the weeks of rivalry between them with finally, Strowman throwing him off the cage. Owens will be looking for the revenge and what a better way would be than defeating him for that briefcase and cashing-in it on any of the superstars(Lesnar or Reigns) who emerges out victorious.

Maybe if somehow Owens finds a way to beat Strowman for the briefcase then he could cash-in it at SummerSlam and become the new Universal champion. Imagine if Reigns is celebrating after defeating Lesnar and suddenly out-of-the-blue Owens appears and cash-in his Money in the Bank contract on Reigns to become 2-time Universal champion. At this point, this scenario has a lesser chance to happen because of all the momentum Strowman collected from past year to the all the way down to Extreme Rules would be wasted. I mean what would be the significance of making Strowman win the briefcase in the first place.

#3 Reigns wins clean

Roman needs to dig deep down in his arsenal and find some maneuvers

After getting defeated by Lesnar on multiple occasions, Reigns is getting another shot for the Universal Championship at Summerslam. He became the No.1 contender for the title defeating Bobby Lashley this past week on Raw. As of now, there are much more speculations ever than before that Reigns will dethrone the Lesnar for the title.

Maybe this is possible if Reigns somehow manages to kick out of multiple F-5s and deliver a spear of his own to secure a victory against Lesnar. This is possible but Roman needs to dig deep down in his arsenal and find some maneuvers to counter The Beast. As Lesnar is departing for UFC, management will go down for this option because of it will make Reigns look stronger than ever, they will finally have someone who can beat Brock and take away that title. He could finally get his revenge from Lesnar after getting screwed by him on two different occasions and could even emerge-out as the main-event star maybe.

#2 Lesnar retains and Strowman cash-in

Strowman appears and cash-in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam

Well, that will be a shocking look to see on Paul Heyman's face. Imagine there is no one to beat Brock Lesnar even Roman also failed this time but then Strowman appears and cash-in his Money in the Bank contract and destroys Lesnar and take away that title. This scenario is what every fan wants now. They all are sick of Lesnar and Reigns battling for the title whenever it's on the line. They do want to see some new face to represent that title and who's the better candidate than the Monster in the bank himself. Also, management won't let Lesnar take their most prestigious prize of the Raw brand to all way down to UFC

Maybe if Lesnar defeat Reigns this time also then management has no other option to put the title on Strowman. Imagine just as the Lesnar retains his title Braun shows up out-of-the-blue and ask the referee to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract on Lesnar as he'll be exhausted after a fight against Reigns, it'll be an easy work for Strowman to pick up Lesnar on his shoulder and deliver a running powerslam on the mat and 1-2-3 count for the title and then we'll have new Universal Champion.

#1 Triple threat

He may make his way down to the ring and ask

referee

to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract

Well, this could be the possible scenario to happen. Imagine a showdown between Lesnar Vs. Reigns Vs. Strowman, it'll be remembered for decades. We will have three-most powerful superstars of WWE present at the same time in the same ring batting for the Universal Championship. And in the closing moments, we could see Strowman pinning one of the superstars for the gold and establishing himself as the most dominant champion after Brock Lesnar.

Maybe just before the match is about to start Strowman's music hit and he makes his way down to the ring with the briefcase and asks the referee to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract and make this match a triple threat. Maybe we could see Strowman pin Lesnar for the title. This way Reigns will come out secure, I wonder what good it will do for both of the superstars if they pin Roman? If this happens then all of us should get ready to see a longer reign, new rivalries, and Strowman squashing every superstar who gets into his path.
