Talk about an intriguing matchup.

With Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar throwing down the gauntlet to challenge Roman Reigns Monday night, fans were begging for others to be the next challenger rather than the Big Dog. That’s when Braun Strowman stalked down to the ring and got in Lesnar’s face. Strowman said he would finish off Roman and then turn his attention to Brock and the Universal Championship.

Brock laid down the title and dared Braun to cross the line, but Strowman decided to wait his turn. But who would have thought that this would be a match fans would want to see six months ago? Suddenly, that looks like a power match that would get some attention.

But first, what to do about Roman? That’s the $64,000 question.
