Predicting Next 10 WWE Champions (World And Universal)

2. Brock Lesnar

Rollins's triumphant Universal Title win won't lead to a long reign. The evening after Roadblock, Brock Lesnar will show up on Raw, demanding a shot at the new champion. It's not like he won't deserve it - "The Beast" will have spent 2017 racking up wins over Roman Reigns and Kurt Angle.

Rollins and Lesnar have a history, with "The Architect" having robbed Lesnar of the WWE World Championship at WrestleMania 31. Rollins won't shy from that fact, agreeing to give "The Beast" a shot at his title, but constantly reminding the former UFC Heavyweight Champion that he's the only man who knows what it takes to make Lesnar come up short.

History won't repeat itself. At the 2018 Royal Rumble, Rollins will do everything that he can to baffle Lesnar with his speed and precision, but "The Beast" will end up planting him with an F5 and becoming Universal Champion.
