5 dream matches for current WWE Champions that could happen in 2021: Brock Lesnar's return, Cancelled match from 2020
WWE currently has a stellar set of Champions on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. Most of them won their titles during WrestleMania weekend, while others have held theirs for a long time.
The singles title-holders, in particular, look as good as ever in WWE. The majority of them have proven their dominance over their respective rosters, which makes for some exciting possibilities once their title reign is in danger.
With the return of regular crowds looming over the summer, WWE has quite a few dream matches up its sleeve for the rest of 2021. They range from blockbuster showdowns on RAW and SmackDown to potential classics on NXT.
Some of them have happened before, while a few others have been teased. Nevertheless, all of these dream matches would be fantastic. What a way for WWE to say "Welcome back" to the fans.
Here are five dream matches featuring current Champions that could happen in 2021:
#5 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar
This match has taken place multiple times in the past, even headlining two WrestleManias. But a new dynamic has been added to the story between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
The Beast has not been seen in WWE since he lost to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36. Since then, Paul Heyman was removed from his creative role on RAW and went over to SmackDown, serving as the special counsel to The Tribal Chief.
Heyman plays a different role alongside Reigns from his usual schtick with Lesnar. He has taken a backseat to the Universal Champion, but is an important part in making him even more of a legitimate star. But what happens when his original client returns to WWE?
Brock Lesnar could go multiple routes upon his return, which may come as soon as SummerSlam. He may appear on SmackDown and question Paul Heyman over his alliance with the Universal Champion. Seeing Lesnar as a babyface would be refreshing, while further cementing Roman Reigns as the biggest heel in WWE.
This is a dream match solely because of the Heyman factor and where his permanent allegiances may lie. Wherever he goes, Reigns would likely come out on top.
