5 reasons why Brock Lesnar is reportedly facing Seth Rollins at Super ShowDown

A few weeks ago, WWE announced their return to Saudi Arabia in the form of Super ShowDown. Legends like Goldberg, The Undertaker, Triple H, and Brock Lesnar will appear in Jeddah. While they have revealed the opponents for many superstars, nothing has been made public regarding Lesnar.

However, as per a latest WWE rumor, The Beast will face Seth Rollins in a WrestleMania rematch at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This match hasn't been confirmed as of now, but it is currently advertised for Super ShowDown. There were also some rumors that Lesnar could face Goldberg at this event, but it proved to be false as the WCW megastar is going to face The Deadman. The Mayor of Suplex City lost the Universal Championship to Rollins at ‘Mania, and it seemed like he is out from the title scene, but now, he is back. What could be the reason behind this? Let’s take a look at five reasons why Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins is reportedly happening inside the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

#5 The only way Brock Lesnar will return is a championship match

Paul Heyman has said it multiple times that without a championship belt, Lesnar won’t work for WWE. Although he did say this on live television, it is indeed true in reality as well. Apart from a few matches, Lesnar doesn’t work against Superstars who don’t have a championship or aren’t looking to get one. Currently, there are two main titles for men: Universal Championship and WWE Championship.

Rollins is currently holding the first one while Kofi Kingston has the second one. Lesnar lost at WrestleMania 35 against Rollins, and since then, he hasn’t spoken about his loss. While he could also face Kofi for the WWE Championship in Saudi Arabia, it’s likely that WWE will not want the champion to get squashed by Lesnar. Since The Beast has already lost a match against Rollins, it wouldn’t hurt him a lot if he loses another match against him.

#4 To end this rivalry and ultimately get out of the title scene

Seth Rollins could end this rivalry by beating Lesnar again

Brock Lesnar was in the Universal Championship picture for more than two years. When he finally lost his title to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2018, fans were happy. Raw got a full-time champion, and The Big Dog was ready to defend his title against his new rival, Braun Strowman.

Both had a match at Hell in a Cell where Lesnar shockingly returned and destroyed both wrestlers. Later, WWE confirmed that The Beast would face Reigns and Strowman at Crown Jewel for the Universal Championship, but the plans were changed when the champion got diagnosed with leukemia.

WWE converted the match into a one-on-one, and everybody expected Strowman to win the title. However, it didn’t happen, and The Beast won it again. It’s the same thing that’s happening this year. Lesnar has lost his title and now, he is seeking a rematch which he will get, as per the rumour, in Saudi Arabia. While Lesnar got the victory last year, it wouldn’t be shocking if Rollins beat him again and ended this rivalry.

#3 Baron Corbin doesn’t have the same amount of star power as Lesnar

Baron Corbin isn't on the same level as Brock Lesnar

It's currently rumored that Vince McMahon wants Baron Corbin to be Seth Rollins’ next challenger for the Universal Championship. It could be one of the reasons why the former General Manager elect is getting multiple victories against top superstars in WWE.

However, we should also know that Saudi Arabia has an entirely different environment than the USA or any other country. The Saudi Arabians live a royal life, and they expect everything to be at its best. And since WWE is also doing business in their country, this rule applies to them as well.

After all, what else could be the reason that many legends are returning for Super ShowDown? The Saudi Arabia, General Sports Authority, demands great content from WWE, and it could be why Lesnar (and not Baron Corbin) is facing Rollins in Jeddah. The Beast serves what WWE expects from him, and it’s why he is a perfect opponent for Rollins, in Saudi Arabia at least.

#2 Brock Lesnar lost against Seth Rollins, and now, he wants his revenge

Lesnar is one of the most protected Superstars in WWE, right now. He barely loses his matches, and whenever does, it (mostly) happens because of a distraction or illegal move.

Lesnar lost against Roman Reigns because Strowman distracted him. He lost against Rollins because he received a low blow. In the first case, Lesnar returned to take his revenge, and it's likely he will do the same with Rollins too.

However, he doesn't have to win against Rollins to take his revenge as he can easily do so via F5s. Both are advertised for a one-on-one match in Jeddah and considering how tough Lesnar becomes inside the ring; the match could also end in a disqualification. If this happens then, Lesnar will get his revenge and WWE could also write him off television as they typically do.

#1 Because Lesnar will interfere in Seth Rollins vs. AJ Styles at Money in the Bank

AJ Styles and Seth Rollins are going to face each other at Money in the Bank

Rollins will defend his Universal Championship in XL Center, Connecticut against Styles which will also be his first Universal Title defence on a pay-per-view. It’s been only a month since he slew The Beast at WrestleMania and it’s likely that WWE will want Rollins to hold the belt for a few more months.

If that’s the case, then Styles will have to lose at Money in the Bank. He is also a big superstar, and a clean victory would only harm him. However, it wouldn’t be shocking if Lesnar returns at the pay-per-view and destroys Rollins and Styles. This way not only would the Phenomenal One lose his match but WWE will also get an opportunity to book Lesnar vs. Rollins at Super ShowDown officially. It is what happened last year during Hell in a Cell, and there’s a strong possibility that it will happen again.
