Nearly nine months ago, Roman Reigns missed his chance on taking the WWE World Heavyweight Championship away from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31. Could the Beast Incarnate be the one chasing down the title this time, though?

Coming into the Royal Rumble next month, Lesnar will be the favorite to win if he is entered. This is not only due to his booking but the lack of viable options to be in the main event of WrestleMania 32. If he does win the over-the-top-rope match next month, it’s very possible we get a title change.

WWE wants to make Reigns into their next top guy and are already in the process of doing so. If he beat Lesnar to retain the belt at WrestleMania 32, this would be more than solidified. However, due to how the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has been booked since defeating The Undertaker nearly two years ago, it may not be a given that Roman goes over. Lesnar could easily walk out with the title.

The former Next Big Thing is a more than viable option to win the belt from Reigns. It wouldn’t be surprising if he was the next champion and even though he’s a part-time Superstar, the draw and appeal of Lesnar with the title is still there to make this work.
