Rumors about who will dethrone Roman Reigns have really been going around lately, so we’ll
see what’s new there.
We’ll also check out some updates for Bobby Lashley, Sasha Banks, and more
Let’s start things off with Bobby Lashley versus Brock Lesnar
Lashley and Lesnar first met at the 2022 Royal Rumble, but there was a lot of outside interference,
so everyone felt like that match didn’t have a clean conclusion
So that brings to Crown Jewel and their second meeting there
There was a consistent story within the match that WWE was telling, and that was the fact
that Brock Lesnar was getting absolutely dominated by Bobby Lashley
Lashley was on serious offense for a majority of the match, while Lesnar played defense
and got some offense in every here and there
The finish consisted of Lashley putting the hurt lock on Lesnar, but Lesnar being able
to fall back and pin Lashley for the three count while the submission was still in place
So this definitely isn’t something you hear often when talking about a Brock Lesnar match,
but Brock Lesnar barely survived and won a match that he really should’ve lost by far
The sneaky win didn’t sit well with Bobby Lashley and he applies the submission hold
to Brock Lesnar again after the match was over
The crowd instantly turned on Lashley and started booing him
A lot of fans are pretty much accepting this as a heel turn for Bobby Lashley, and fans
have really mixed feelings about that
We saw a lot of heel Bobby Lashley in the ThunderDome and even in 2021.
It wasn’t until recently where Lashley started to really take off as a babyface and connected
strongly with the fans
Some fans were even hoping for Bobby Lashley to step up and have a feud with Roman Reigns
in the near future with how much of a top babyface he was becoming
But the closing moments of his Crown Jewel match now makes his character status a little
bit of a mystery, basically a tweener
You can just assume it was a regular heel turn, he attacked a top babyface after that
babyface cleanly won the match
Lashley looked like a sore loser in that moment and you can just look at that as a heel turn
But what’s even more bizarre is that you can also argue that Lashley was perfectly
justified in what he did
Sure, Brock beat him cleanly at Crown Jewel, but we can’t forget how Brock Lesnar randomly
targeted Lashley on Raw a few weeks ago, attacked him, and cost him his United States title
So was Lashley truly wrong in that moment after the Crown Jewel match?
You can make a strong case that he truly wasn’t
Lashley was upset with what Brock Lesnar did to him just a few weeks ago, he’s obviously
still thinking about the naysayers and critics who said his Royal Rumble win over Brock was
a fluke… you got the character just having all of these thoughts running through his
mind at once, and that led to the frustration getting out of control and leading to that
post match attack
So yes, some fans are simply looking at it as a heel turn, but when you really step back
and look at the entire situation, you can sort of give Lashley a pass and see where
he’s coming from
Lesnar gets to attack Lashley on Raw out of no where and still be considered a babyface,
but when Lashley attacks him, it makes Lashley instantly a heel?
That’s the part that sort of enters a gray area there.
Maybe it’s the beginning of a new arc for Bobby Lashley, maybe it’s the very early
signs of a heel turn, but to look at the crown jewel finish as full blown heel turn could
get iffy
Now it’ll be up to WWE and Bobby Lashley to continue the story and let us know where’s
character is at mentally and if it truly was a heel turn or not
Their first match had a lot of outside interference and their second match ended with a finish
that protected both men
so fans feel like it’s a no brainer that we’ll just have to see another match between
the two of them to complete the trilogy
Maybe the third match happens soon, maybe it’s down the line, but it definitely has
to happen
Bobby Lashley won the first match, Brock Lesnar won the second match, so they’re all tied
up, this third match will possibly determine the winner of the entire feud
So there’s a lot on the line there for that Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar feud, hopefully
we see that third match sometime soon

Another popular topic of discussion came from the WWE intro that was played at Crown Jewel
Fans were quick to notice that Sasha and Naomi were back in the intro that aired before Crown
Jewel
And it’s been a busy week for at least the possibility of Sasha’s return to the ring
She’s posting cryptic messages, she posting videos of herself in the ring, she’s posting
videos saying that something huge that she’s been waiting the last six months for is coming
up soon
the rumors and buzz behind whatever Sasha is teasing has been building and building
over the last few days
So when WWE aired an intro that has Sasha and Naomi, on top of everything that Sasha
was already teasing, the Internet blew up with fans assuming that Sasha and Naomi’s
returns were imminent
But after fans dove deeper into the intro that aired at crown jewel, everyone figured
out that this wasn’t a new intro that had Sasha and Naomi back added to it, it was the
completely old intro from Spring 2022
So the reports started claiming that the Sasha and Naomi old intro wasn’t intentional and
was just a mistake
As further confirmation of that, the newer intro, without Sasha and Naomi, was back being
shown on the November 7th edition of Raw
So the Sasha and Naomi intro from crown jewel was definitely just a simple mistake
however, sasha banks continues to post footage of herself training in the ring, so it’s
still very possible that she returns to a wrestling ring in the near future, but where
at is the bigger question?
Is it with WWE or is it somewhere else?
That’s what we’ll have to wait on

Speaking on big rumors, that brings us to the dethroning of Roman Reigns
Roman has just surpassed 800 days as champion, the longest WWE title reign the company has
seen in decades upon decades
As Roman enters year three as champion, the growing question is: who actually has a chance
to dethrone Roman?
The longer his title reign goes on far, the bigger the expectation is for the big dethroning
moment
As of right now, the popular belief is that Roman is at least walking into Wrestlemania
39 as the Universal Champion, so by then, he’ll be around nearly 1000 days as champion
Then after Wrestlemania seems like the most likely end of Roman’s title reign
But who gets it done?
Reports claim that Triple H and WWE already have an idea about who will dethrone Roman
Reigns
So the fact that they already have an idea of who will do it, plus the few months that
they have to plan it out, means that we could see a really good story for that final feud
and title defense
The names being mentioned as big candidates to take Roman Reigns down includes Jey Uso,
Sami Zayn, Cody Rhodes, and Bray Wyatt
Those are the most talked about names that make sense
Sami Zayn has been working alongside Roman Reigns for months, what if he grows out of
his sidekick role all the way into the man who knocks Roman out?
Cody Rhodes said that the reason he returned to WWE was to win the WWE Championship for
his father and himself.
What better way to have that moment than by ending Roman’s title reign
Bray Wyatt was robbed of his universal title when Roman returned in 2020 and never got
a rematch for the title.
He also has a case of revenge for Roman
And the other great option that will really bring things full circle is Jey Uso
Roman’s historic title reign all began with an emotional story and feud with his cousin
Jey Uso
So what if the reign also ended with another match against Jey Uso?
What a great callback and full circle moment that would be
What if the person who was gonna dethrone Roman was standing by his side this entire
time?
That would be a pretty deep ending for the title reign
