5 shocking things that could happen in Roman Reigns-Braun Strowman match

At Hell in a Cell, Roman Reigns will once again headline a PPV, but this time he will have the Universal Championship belt around his waist.

The match against Braun Strowman will be the first title defence of the Universal Championship at a PPV for Reigns. Reigns won the title off Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, ending The Beast's 504-day run as champ.

Reigns and Strowman have feuded since that match and The Monster Among Men will finally encash his Money in the Bank contract at the PPV.

In this article, let's take a look at 5 things that could shock fans in the match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman.

#1 Brock Lesnar returns

Could we see Lesnar back in the WWE ring this Sunday?

WWE have still not confirmed if Brock Lesnar has quit the WWE, and Lesnar still has the re-match that he is contractually obliged to get. With reports suggesting that Lesnar is interested in short-term contracts with WWE and UFC, could he return at Hell in a Cell and demand his rematch?

Lesnar could come out after the match, take out Reigns and tell him that he wants his rematch. The Beast could then send Reigns a message by taking apart Strowman, putting him through a table and maybe even busting him open.

Most fans love Lesnar, but didn't like the way he held on to the title without defending it at all. A heel Lesnar who is destroying everyone in his path - and especially Reigns - will get a lot of cheers from the WWE Universe.

#2 Strowman destroys Reigns

Braun Strowman has turned heel, which means that he can be even more savage than he already is. But Strowman is still much-loved by the WWE Universe even if he is a heel, which may not be what WWE desire. They want Reigns as the top and as the babyface of the company.

Strowman could perhaps attack Reigns even before the match starts and destroy him so much so that Reigns has to be escorted out of the building. Strowman could then attack anything and everything at his sight and anger the fans so much that they turn on him.

#3 Dean Ambrose attacks Reigns; demands title shot

Dean Ambrose, since returning post his injury, has mainly been involved in tag team action with Seth Rollins. At Hell in a Cell, the duo are set to face Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler for the RAW Tag Team championship.

This could be the perfect opportunity to turn Ambrose heel. He could first attack Rollins after losing their tag team match, and then interfere in the Reigns-Strowman match, turning on both his Shield members.

Ambrose ending the show by turning heel and demanding for a title shot would bring the house down!

#4 The Shield take out Strowman before the match

The Shield have teamed up before to stop the might of Strowman against Reigns, and they could do that once more at Hell in a Cell.

Even before the match begins, Ambrose and Rollins could take out Strowman, using chairs and tables to inflict damage on The Monster Among Men. They could then roll Strowman into the ring where Reigns is waiting to hit spears and finish off Strowman and retain his Universal title.

This would ensure that Strowman hasn't lost in a fair-and-square match, and keep the storyline going.

#5 Roman Reigns loses

This result would be "shocking" considering how the WWE want Reigns to be "The Guy" of the company. But WWE have pulled off some swerves in the past, even earlier this year at WrestleMania 34 when everyone expected Reigns to win the Universal title against Lesnar.

Reigns will most likely not lose as WWE will want to elongate the storyline with Strowman and keep it going for a few months.

A loss for The Big Dog will be the biggest shock at Hell in a Cell, or maybe even in the last few years.
