Top 5 possible storylines for Brock Lesnar's return to WWE in 2021

#4 Brock Lesnar wins the Royal Rumble, goes after Roman Reigns

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns could take the ratings to the next level

Brock Lesnar could restart his rivalry with Roman Reigns. He's one of the top Superstars in WWE right now. While Vince McMahon once hoped to push him as the company's next face, his "Tribal Chief" gimmick has helped Reigns gain more popularity than ever.

Kevin Owens will challenge Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WWE Royal Rumble this Sunday. Although Owens has done an excellent job as a babyface Superstar, Reigns' victory at the show is practically guaranteed.

WWE will probably keep the title on Reigns heading into WrestleMania 37. But few babyfaces on WWE SmackDown feel like they could challenge Reigns at "The Showcase of the Immortals." Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, and Cesaro are the top options available on the blue brand.

Vince McMahon could always go with Brock Lesnar if "The Beast" is available. If Lesnar enters the Royal Rumble and wins the match, he could name Reigns as the champion he wants to face at WrestleMania. There's a lot of history between these two stars. Plus, Paul Heyman could play a significant role in this renewed rivalry.

This year, Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns could headline WrestleMania for the third time. Reigns has never defeated Lesnar at "The Show of Shows." If WWE books him to face Lesnar at WrestleMania, Reigns will likely gain his first WrestleMania main event victory in four years.
