In a shocking turn of events that has sent shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe, Brock Lesnar has aligned himself with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to take the fight directly to Roman Reigns. The development comes at a time when tensions between the Raw and SmackDown rosters are at an all-time high, and the “Tribal Chief” continues to dominate SmackDown as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
The idea of Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins working together seems almost unthinkable given their tumultuous history. Fans will never forget their WrestleMania 31 clash when Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract during Lesnar’s brutal match against Roman Reigns, stealing the WWE Championship in what remains one of the most iconic moments in WrestleMania history. Since then, both men have crossed paths numerous times, with Lesnar often targeting Rollins in some of the most physical and hard-hitting battles of the modern era. Yet, as the saying goes in WWE, “anything can happen.”
The alliance was first hinted at during last week’s episode of Raw, when Rollins was being cornered by The Bloodline after a grueling title defense. Just as Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso seemed ready to ambush the World Heavyweight Champion, the unmistakable roar of Brock Lesnar’s entrance music erupted throughout the arena. The Beast Incarnate stormed to the ring, shocking fans as he stood side by side with Rollins and fought off The Bloodline. What initially seemed like a one-night-only assist has now been revealed as something much bigger: Lesnar is officially teaming up with Rollins to bring down Roman Reigns.
From a storyline perspective, the move makes sense. Roman Reigns has conquered almost every challenger put in front of him during his historic title reign. He has beaten Brock Lesnar multiple times, including at WrestleMania 38 in a brutal Winner-Take-All Match, and he has also outlasted Seth Rollins in their championship encounters. Both Lesnar and Rollins know firsthand how dangerous and dominant the Tribal Chief has become. By joining forces, they stand a better chance of finally toppling the Bloodline empire.
For Lesnar, this alliance is fueled by revenge. Roman Reigns has been his greatest rival of the past decade, and every encounter has ended with Reigns asserting his dominance. By teaming with Rollins, Lesnar is ensuring he won’t be standing alone against the numbers advantage that The Bloodline constantly relies upon. Rollins, on the other hand, has long wanted to prove himself as the true champion in WWE. While holding the World Heavyweight Championship has solidified his place at the top of Raw, he knows his legacy won’t feel complete until he conquers Roman Reigns once and for all.
WWE officials are already teasing a blockbuster showdown: Roman Reigns and The Bloodline vs. Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins in what could be one of the most explosive matches in recent memory. Fans are buzzing with excitement, knowing that these three megastars colliding once again will be nothing short of must-see television.
One thing is certain: with Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins joining forces, Roman Reigns’ empire has never been under greater threat.
