#1 Dutch Mantell doesn't expect Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar to have a clean finish

During the latest edition of Smack Talk on Sportskeeda Wrestling's YouTube Channel, Dutch Mantell stated that he expected WWE to extend the Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar feud and add another chapter to the story. Reigns has run through the roster and is short of credible challengers at the moment, and the wrestling legend emphasized that point:

"If Roman beats [Lesnar], I think they're gonna have some kind of wild smudge or some kind of stuff and leave it open-ended. I think people will go for that if they [add] another little bit of a chapter with Paul Heyman. Since [Lesnar] is the biggest guy that they've had challenge Roman, they're not gonna have him come right out and beat him because where do they go now? [As] a fan, they would like to see that, a clean straight up finish, but for creative sitting back there they're saying "What the hell!" What have they got to go to [after Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar]," said Dutch Mantell.
