WrestleMania 35: 5 Biggest reasons why Vince McMahon won't let Seth Rollins win the Universal Championship

The turbulent Road to WrestleMania is officially going to end in a week. This visual extravaganza has already roused curiosity and excitement among the fans, and it seems like the pay-per-view, as always, is going to be blockbuster.

Last week, WWE nearly gave a heart attack to fans when Charlotte won the SmackDown Women's Championship by defeating Asuka in an impromptu match. Nobody expected that The Queen would defeat The Empress of Tomorrow for the title, but it is what actually happened.

There is still an episode of Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live remaining, and we can expect some shocking announcement from the WWE. Some outrageous things are also going to happen at the day of WrestleMania, and one of those things is Seth Rollins losing to Brock Lesnar. Nobody wants Lesnar to retain the title, but it is something that seems practically possible at the moment.

Here are five reasons why The Beast could defeat The Architect for the Universal Championship.

#5 Brock Lesnar’s reputation

Brock Lesnar won the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 33 for the first time

Brock Lesnar is one of the most overprotected wrestlers in the history of WWE. He barely loses against anyone in the company which itself is wholly unsurprising. From the beginning of his in-ring career, The Beast got more advantages than any other wrestler in this company.

When Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012, he started working as a part-timer. Since then The Beast Incarnate has defeated the likes of Roman Reigns, John Cena, Dean Ambrose, The Undertaker and many more. So it's a no shock that he has more chances than Seth Rollins in winning this match.

Even the top guy of the WWE, Roman Reigns, experienced the process of trials and errors before defeating Brock Lesnar. At the moment, it seems unlikely that Seth Rollins will defeat Lesnar at WrestleMania in one go as if that happens then it would genuinely hurt Lesnar's repetition in WWE -- which is something Vince McMahon won't let happen.

#4 A big WrestleMania shock

The result of this match stunned a lot of fans

I have already mentioned it hundreds of times that WrestleMania is a pay-per-view known for shocking the fans. This year’s visual extravaganza has given us many moments that will be remembered for a lifetime.

When Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 20, the fans were stunned. Nobody expected The Phenom to lose against The Beast Incarnate. However, as you all know, it is something that actually happened and can’t be reverted back to its previous state.

Last year as well, The Beast shocked the world when he conquered Roman Reigns in a match that was in the latter’s favors. Vince McMahon has already invested millions of dollars in building Lesnar reputation in WWE that it can’t take any damage.

So, it is still a possibility that Brock Lesnar will retain his title against Seth Rollins only to shock the WWE universe and possibly gain some mainstream attention as well.

#3 Seth Rollins (not Brock Lesnar) is going to SmackDown Live

Seth Rollins could take SmackDown to a new level

Last year, the WWE signed a 5-year long deal with Fox under which the company will broadcast SmackDown Live to their network. Fox, reportedly, wants the blue brand to be a more sport-oriented show rather than a mixture of comedy and wrestling.

Some fans have also speculated that Superstars like Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey could jump ship to the blue brand, but it is something that seems unrealistic at the moment. A majority of fans believe that Brock and Ronda will leave WWE after WrestleMania 35 but what if it isn’t the case.

I have already predicted why Ronda Rousey could retain her title at the Shows of Shows in this article. And now, I am predicting why The Beast could remain as a champion after this pay-per-view. I know that WWE’s deal with Fox is a big deal to them, but it would be wrong to blindly believe that these two Superstars will step foot in the blue brand.

While it is possible that Ronda could debut on the blue brand, I think that it won’t be the case with Lesnar.

Vince has always treated him like an "A+ Superstar" who rarely works on SmackDown. However, there’s another Superstar who could jump ship to the blue brand it is Seth Rollins. And if that’s the case, then there’s no way Lesnar will lose his title at WrestleMania 35.

#2 Vince McMahon wants Lesnar's services for some more time

The only reason Brock Lesnar is still the Universal Champion is that he is giving what Vince expects from him. It is the reason why retained his title at WrestleMania 34 and Greatest Royal Rumble.

When Lesnar loses his title, then fans will be happy. However, The Beast returned to the WWE in Hell in a Cell pay-per-view and quickly got a rematch for his Universal Title. At the Crown Jewel event, he regained the title and then defended it only once.

Lesnar’s next title defense will happen at WrestleMania 35, and if he is not going to leave WWE, then it is almost confirmed that The Beast won’t lose his championship. Paul Heyman has said it hundreds of times that Lesnar will only work in WWE as a champion; otherwise, he will not.

So again, if The Beast stays in Vince McMahon’s billion dollar company, then he won’t lose his Universal Championship.

#1 Drew McIntyre will defeat him

Drew McIntyre vs Braun Strowman was Vince McMahon's original plan for WrestleMania 35

There were some rumors that Vince never wanted Seth Rollins to face Lesnar for the Universal Championship. Instead, he wanted Braun Strowman to defend this title against Drew McIntyre. However, it can’t happen as Lesnar won this championship at Crown Jewel by defeating Strowman.

It is actually Triple H who wants Rollins to Slay The Beast at the Grandest Stage of Them All. However, considering how quickly Vince changes WrestleMania plans, it won't be shocking, for me at least, if The Beast retains his Universal Championship against The Kingslayer.

It is clear that Vince sees Drew McIntyre as a top heel Superstar in WWE and it is possible that the latter would face Lesnar shortly for the title and who knows, we may even see a new champion crowning. And as always, I don’t know if anything like this is going to happen, but I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
