Brock Lesnar may indeed retain the Universal Championship at WrestleMania and put Seth Rollins in a very similar position to the one Roman Reigns was in exactly one year ago. WWE will be hosting another show in Saudi Arabia in May, and they may look to add as much star power as possible.
Brock Lesnar is probably leveraging his relationship with Dana White and the UFC to garner more money out of WWE, as many people on the Internet have suggested. This is most likely the reason why he is frequently signing short-term deals:
- To get as much money out of WWE as possible, and
- To leverage the relationship with UFC to keep the Universal Championship around his waist.
It looks like Rob Gronkowski could end up in the WWE after all, as Mojo Rawley has publicly acknowledged the possibility, so Gronk could debut right after ‘Mania, likely bypassing NXT (this is purely speculation – I have nothing to back this up).
The Revival wants out of WWE, which is completely justified given that their booking has been rather lackluster since debuting on the main roster.
There have been hints given recently that the Raw and SmackDown women’s titles may be unified at ‘Mania, given that Charlotte Flair currently holds them both. Raw viewership was down this week, which is not a good sign at all given how close we are to WrestleMania. Viewership should be peaking right about now, so this may have to be addressed by Vince McMahon.
SmackDown Live viewership, however, made a big jump, presumably due to the situation surrounding Kofi Kingston and the WWE Championship, cited from Blake Oestriecher, Forbes.com.
