5 Reasons why Brock Lesnar could return and win the 2021 Royal Rumble match

#3 A babyface Brock Lesnar could return to lock horns with The Tribal Chief

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns

Brock Lesnar hasn't donned the persona of a babyface for a long time now. But the opportunity to have a babyface Lesnar has seemingly arrived now. WWE SmackDown is currently ruled by a ruthless, no-nonsense version of Roman Reigns, who calls himself The Tribal Chief. He is managed by Paul Heyman, the man who once used to provide his services to Brock Lesnar.

The Beast wouldn't be happy one bit after witnessing this surprising turn of events in his absence.

A babyface Brock Lesnar versus a heel Roman Reigns would draw a lot of attention

Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns have faced off on various occasions in the past, with Lesnar always being the bad guy in the story. This time around, WWE can re-establish this old rivalry with the roles reversed, and it would certainly make for a unique presentation for WrestleMania season.

Furthermore, Brock Lesnar hasn't collided with Roman Reigns ever since he lost the Universal title to The Tribal Chief at SummerSlam 2018. Lesnar would love to take revenge for that big defeat from three years ago by winning the Royal Rumble match and taking on Reigns at The Show of Shows.
