If Styles vs. Nakamura is a straight up wrestling match, then Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns should be anything but. Chair shots, steel steps and ramped-up violence have been part of the main event's build, so it's crucial that WWE realise how badly those shortcuts are needed at WrestleMania 34.

Without them, Roman's quest to beat Brock for the Universal Title will come across as dull just a few minutes in.

Fans will cheer Lesnar for pasting Reigns with chairs and other weapons. Although there's no getting away from that, any obvious hatred of Roman's push can be remedied by booking a match that ebbs and flows with brutal spots and brawling to distract from the obvious: Reigns is winning.

A gratuitous Street Fight would work here, and it's a must; no rope breaks, no disqualifications, no count outs and a referee bump or two are all necessary to turn a match some are dreading into one they're taken aback by. Reigns has shown he can brawl - now it's time to let him.
