Nightmare: For some reason, WWE have proceeded to ignore fan response to Roman Reigns once again and try to paint him as a hero worthy of your respect. Don't let this shoot-style feud with Brock Lesnar fool you, because it's just another way Vince McMahon can try to make Reigns his top babyface.

Reigns will be in the WrestleMania main event for the fourth year running, and he will become Universal Champion. The chief worry is that WWE misread (or blatantly disregard) fan reaction and rain down confetti from the skies as Roman celebrates.

If they do so, it'll feel like a rerun of 'Mania 32 in 2016.

Chances Of It Coming True: Brace yourselves, because there's no evidence to suggest that WWE have learned their lessons with Reigns.

Again, whilst this shoot promo style he's employing is certainly preferable to lines like, "suffering succotash, son", it's a repackage of the same desperate pleas from management that their audience accept Reigns as a top hero.

Come the end of WrestleMania 34, expect Roman to stand tall and be treated like Hulk Hogan was back in the 1980s whether fans in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome like it or not.
