From @Disable_MMi: Is beating Lesnar for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 31 the best way to take Reigns to that next level? Would you book it the same?
Yes. I believe it's the right move especially after WWE had Lesnar beat Undertaker at WrestleMania 30. That was done to build up Lesnar as a dominant heel that was hard to beat. The key thing will be how WWE books Lesnar leading up to that match if it happens. He needs to win every match before it. If Reigns is the guy that beats Lesnar after Brock has gone through the likes of Undertaker, Cena and whoever else then it's a big deal. What WWE lacks these days is a dominant heel champion. That's what Lesnar would be if he was a full timer. I have no doubt in my mind that he would have had a long reign as the WWE Champion if he was around all the time. Since he's not, WWE has been hesitant to put the WWE Title on him. Now they seem to have a plan with him, so he will fill that role. A lot of fans hate Triple H, but for WrestleManias 20 and 21 he was that dominant heel champion that guys like Chris Benoit and Batista beat to become top guys. Even at this year's WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan beat Triple H on the show to get a shot at the heel champion Orton (along with Batista). When a face wins a major title by beating a top heel it means a lot. That's one of those things that has been proven to be true so many times in wrestling history.
