10 Reasons Seth Rollins Should Leave Royal Rumble As WWE Champion

8. WWE Can Do Reigns Vs. Lesnar At WrestleMania 31 Non-Title

The rumored match for Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 is a showdown with Roman Reigns. The suggested match is for Lesnar to walk into WM31 as the WWE Champion while Reigns is the Royal Rumble winner. It would be Reigns that got the win and the WWE Title over the guy that ended The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania. It would be a big deal, no doubt about it. With that in mind, WWE could still do the match on the undercard with Reigns facing Lesnar in a match that would still be huge. It would also be one of the main event level matches on the show. If WWE wants Reigns to look like a big deal at WrestleMania they can still do it without involving the WWE Title. Anybody that wrestles Lesnar at a WrestleMania is going to be treated as a big deal just because Lesnar beat Undertaker last year. With Paul Heyman ranting about how Lesnar is "the one in 21-1" it's that next guy that will benefit whenever Lesnar loses at WrestleMania to him. The other point about Reigns vs. Lesnar is that if they did that match it may not be very good, so if that was for the WWE Title it could do a lot of harm. By moving the WWE Title onto Rollins, Reigns/Lesnar has less pressure and Rollins can face somebody else with the gold on the line.
