WrestleMania 35: 5 reasons why Brock Lesnar will defeat Seth Rollins 

WrestleMania 35 is set to be one of the most exciting WrestleMania shows in recent history, with an array of mouth-watering clashes set to take place on April 7, 2019.

While the match that everyone is eagerly waiting for is the triple threat match between Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair for the RAW Women's title, the contest between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins for the Universal title is another exciting match at WrestleMania 35.

Lesnar and Rollins have wrestled thrice before, two of which were triple threat matches, while the sole singles match, at Battleground in 2015, swung in Lesnar's favour.

At WrestleMania 35, Seth Rollins will be looking to win the Universal title for the first time when he faces off against Lesnar.

But, most expect The Beast to win and retain the title. Here are 5 reasons why Brock Lesnar will defeat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35:

#5 Not all babyface challengers at WrestleMania 35 will win

Seth Rollins

The WWE Universe have been demanding, for quite some time, to see Seth Rollins get an opportunity at the Universal title, much like they've pushed Becky Lynch to get her match against Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair for the Universal title, and Kofi Kingston a chance to win the WWE Championship.

But, WWE may not give wins to all three of them at WrestleMania 35. Much like last year, where Lesnar faced Roman Reigns and almost everyone expected Reigns to win, WWE could pull off a huge swerve and keep the title on Brock Lesnar.

That wouldn't be different from what WWE have done over the last few years when Lesnar has had the Universal title around his waist.

And with WWE having swerved so many times with the Kofi Kingston and Becky Lynch storyline, I expect those two to win it (if and when WWE adds Kofi to the WWE Championship match), and perhaps Rollins losing his match at WrestleMania 35.

#4 Seth Rollins to move to SmackDown

Could we see Rollins move to the blue brand later this year?

WWE's SmackDown Live show will be moving over to Fox later this year after WWE and Fox agreed to a huge deal. The deal will see SmackDown move to Friday nights, while rumours have also suggested that top Superstars of RAW could make the switch to the blue brand.

The blue brand has produced great matches and feuds over the last year or so as there's more emphasis on in-ring wrestling rather than backstage interviews and promos.

And Seth Rollins, who many regard to be a cut above the rest, will feel at home at SmackDown Live, and could have a few mouthwatering feuds on the blue brand. This could mean that Rollins winning the Universal title at WrestleMania 35 would not make sense as WWE would possibly like to keep both main men's titles in their respective brands.

With a Shield reunion no longer a possibility, we could finally see Reigns and Rollins split between the two brands, with both top dogs of their respective brands.

#3 Brock Lesnar still brings in the money

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar were the main event at last year's WrestleMania

Brock Lesnar is probably one of the few current WWE Superstars who is a household name, and that is why Vince McMahon and the WWE still have him, despite appearing once in a while.

Vince McMahon himself said in an interview that Brock Lesnar appearing often on television would be bad for business and that The Beast is saved for big occasions. If WWE removes the belt off Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 and if he doesn't show up on RAW, there would be no way for WWE to begin new feuds for The Beast, to set him up for another big PPV.

WWE will not get rid of Lesnar anytime soon, and perhaps Vince McMahon and co. are going towards another match between Lesnar and Roman Reigns, where Reigns once again wins the Universal title - the title that he never lost.

#2 UFC deal not finalised yet

Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier

It is no secret that Brock Lesnar wants to return to the UFC to face off against Daniel Cormier - which could be the final match for Cormier in UFC.

But, UFC President Dana White recently revealed that that match will not happen anytime soon as Lesnar has not reached out to him yet.

“Brock Lesnar is doing his thing with WWE. One of the things about Brock Lesnar is, when that guy is ready to fight, he is not shy. He will call me and he will let me know. To be honest with you, I’m hoping to hear from that guy this summer. I think both guys really want it, Cormier wants it bad. I know Cormier wants it bad, and Brock wants it bad. So, when two fighters want to fight each other as bad as these two do, I think it’s going to happen,” said UFC President Dana White, recently.

This indicates that Lesnar is not leaving the company anytime soon which may see him retain the Universal title at WrestleMania 35.

#1 Roman Reigns is "The Guy" Vince McMahon wants to hold the Universal title

Roman Reigns

When Roman Reigns returned to WWE RAW and WWE on February 25, 2019 following his illness, he received one of the biggest pops from the WWE Universe in recent history.

The Big Dog's heroic return to the ring after his battle with leukaemia won many hearts and inspired millions. And it seems like it will take Reigns some time to get back into the Universal title plans as it is Seth Rollins' time to shine.

But, it is quite obvious that Reigns is and will always be the #1 guy on RAW for Vince McMahon and WWE, and it will be only a matter of time before he gets that opportunity. I don't see Rollins - or Reigns - turning heel, which means that a face vs face feud between the two former Shield brothers can be ruled out.

Reigns will probably be the one to defeat Lesnar and win back the Universal title, and that could be one of the main reasons why WWE will keep the Universal title on Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.
