The newly crowned WWE Universal Champion, Adam Pearce could be in the crosshairs of the 2021 Royal Rumble winner. Let's assume that Adam Pearce defies the odds, and with the help of Kevin Owens' interference goes on to become the WWE Universal Champion. Roman Reigns may decide that he will teach Kevin Owens some respect away from the title picture, on the road to WrestleMania 37.

Let's assume that Brock Lesnar goes on to win the 2021 Royal Rumble and challenges Adam Pearce thinking that it will be a walk in the park for him.

Brock Lesnar vs. Adam Pearce to determine the next WWE Universal Champion does not seem like a match worthy of WrestleMania, and there's every chance that someone could win the title from Adam Pearce long before that. Maybe Roman Reigns becomes the WWE Universal Champion on the way to WrestleMania. So many possibilities could potentially happen in the next few weeks.
