A lot of big changes has happened in the Universal Title picture over the last couple of weeks. The Universal Title match between Strowman and Lesnar was originally scheduled for Royal Rumble but was changed to Finn Balor and Brock Lesnar instead.

Various reasons for this shift has been cited by many. Some believed that this was always the plan Vince McMahon's mind and for others, it was due to the growing popularity of AEW so WWE had to give former Bullet Club leader Finn Balor a shot at Raw's top title.

For whatever reason it may have happened it has certainly set the ball rolling for the Universal Championship match at the Showcase of the Immortals. My knowledge regarding the reasons is as good as yours. With that being in mind we can do nothing except speculate what it could have been.

Today we are going to do exactly the same by listing out six possible scenarios for the top championship belt of the Raw brand at WrestleMania 35.


#5 Brock Lesnar (c) vs Seth Rollins

The aforementioned match has been rumoured to happen since Roman Reigns took time off to battle Leukaemia.

The way Rollins was booked for the better part of 2018 since Reigns' departure as the biggest face of the Raw roster further validated the speculation. Even his constant denoting of himself as the fighting champion unlike Lesnar was also indicative of the plans.

To be precise, The Kingslayer slaying The Beast at 'Mania will be a delight to watch. With that being said, the possibility of this match took a strike when the Rollins vs Ambrose match at TLC was booed by fans last year. Vince McMahon was believed to be unhappy by the reaction of fans and wanted an alternative.

Still, this can come to fruition with Rollins being the prima facie favourite to win the Rumble this year. According to me, Rollins for all his accolades deserves to conquer the mayor of 'Suplex City' at Mania for good.
