10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 38
3. Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar
A weak main event even against hyperbole in the build it never realistically stood a chance of living up to, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar had a Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar match and that simply wasn't enough.
Their Saudi Arabia scrap in 2021 revealed the possibilities this new heel/babyface dynamic offered, not least with Paul Heyman's loyalties cruelly confirmed at the Royal Rumble. This wasn't remotely explored in the match, with the layout favouring the same trading of big moves the two have been doing as far back as 2015. Heyman didn't eat sh*t off an F5. Reigns himself barely did, apart from when they were trying to transparently mine drama from a few shock kickouts.
From the outside looking in, the contest gave off the stink of a company that believed they had already completed the game with the 'Head Of The Table' push because loads of fans throw one finger in the air and unlike past times it's not the middle one. They might be right, but too many big time main events like this (Reigns Vs Joh Cena at SummerSlam went the same way) and more people will eventually see through the facade.
