10 Shocks WWE Could Pull At WrestleMania 34

1. Brock Lesnar Goes Over Roman Reigns

At WrestleMania 31, Brock Lesnar sadistically destroyed Roman Reigns in a brutal and gripping main event. At its denouement, Vince McMahon destroyed also his plans to coronate his pet project as WWE Champion and face of the company. Acknowledging at the last possible moment the fact that fans really resented Roman, Vince frogmarched Seth Rollins to the ring and booked a briefcase-assisted shocker of a finish.

Very little has changed in the interim, bar the blush of the belt, a further reduction of Brock's schedule, and the intensification of McMahon's stubbornness. Roman is going over - but what if Brock isn't going anywhere? Brock, almost entirely motivated by coin, might - might - convince himself to re-sign with WWE, if offered the promise of an extended title run. He did knock back a mooted match with Shane McMahon ahead of WrestleMania 33, so the man must possess something in the way of professional pride.

The precedent is there, but so too is a Shawn Michaels-sized desire on the part of Vince McMahon to pet his dog.
