WWE fans aren't the only ones hoping they don't have to sit through a FOURTH Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar WrestleMania main event in the coming years.

Royal Rumble winners are fearing a 'Show of Shows' fourquel, too!

That's because whenever 'The Tribal Chief' and 'The Beast Incarnate' force their way into the show-closing slot on 'The Grandest Stage', the unfortunate soul who worked their ass off to win the 30-person over-the-top-rope spectacular doesn't end up lifting the big one at 'Mania.

First it was Reigns himself who failed to walk away with the gold in 2015 at 'Mania 31 after his match with the big bad Brock (and later, Seth Rollins).

Then both Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka weren't able to conquer AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair, respectively, when Roman and Brock closed out WrestleMania 34.

And finally, 2022 saw both Ronda Rousey and her fellow former UFC Champion pick up 'L's at 'The Showcase of the Immortals', losing to 'The Queen' and 'The Head of the Table' at WrestleMania 38 as the latter match once again went on last on Night Two.

Put simply, if these two ever decide there's still some unfinished WrestleMania business between them, pray for that year's Rumble winners.
