Dutch Mantell on Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar

[ad_1]

With Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar restarting their rivalry, WWE veteran Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on what could happen between the two titans and Paul Heyman’s role in the overall storyline.

While we’ve seen the Big Dog and the Beast Incarnate feud in the past, the latest version of their rivalry is different from the last. The roles have been turned as Roman Reigns is now the main heel with Heyman by his side, while Lesnar hints that he is a babyface.

However, former WWE manager Dutch Mantell made some interesting comments regarding the feud. Here’s what Mantell had to say:

“I think Paul Heyman, and we predicted it, is the central theme of Roman and Lesnar. That’s what I felt tonight: these people like Roman. Now he’s starting to recover. is a heel starting to recover like a baby face. I can see Paul Heyman put the knife in Roman’s back and line up with Brock Lesnar and then they can come out and tell a hell of a story that’s been planned for six months, eight months or whatever. And it will be believable. I see it coming. This is what I see coming and that would be a really good angle. People love Roman, “said Dutch Mantell.

Heyman turning against Roman Reigns is an intriguing angle that would open up several avenues for WWE as a result of this rivalry. Plus, as we’ve seen in the past, WWE was keen to push Reigns as a babyface, so a turn might not be too far.

Can Brock Lesnar dethrone Roman Reigns?

Roman Reigns is currently on the best course of his career. With over a year as a Universal Champion, the Tribal Chief has passed through all the competitors that have stood in his way.

But now he faces a familiar foe against whom he has a losing record. Of the three head-to-head meetings Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have had against each other, the chef de table has won only once.

The two are now set to meet again at Crown Jewel, and it’s quite possible that Lesnar could begin his fourth reign as the Universal Champion that night.
