#3 Update on his feud with Brock Lesnar in WWE
The feud between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar took up a lot of the past year, with WWE putting a lot of effort into it. And according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer, it seems like the saga is over, and WrestleMania 38 was the blow-off match between the pair.
Meltzer mentioned The Beast Incarnate is booked for a few upcoming premium live events, although he won't be facing The Tribal Chief again. Read on to find out who is seemingly next in line to challenge Reigns.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen who Lesnar will feud with. Rumors indicate he will appear at WrestleMania Backlash in May.
#2 Roman Reigns potentially suffered an injury at WrestleMania
The WrestleMania match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar may have been quite disappointing to some, with the contest only lasting 12 minutes. This may have been due to a legitimate injury Reigns suffered during it.
WrestlingNews.co pointed this out on Twitter, sharing images that showed a significant swelling on The Tribal Chief's left arm. Moreover, he had a little difficulty in lifting the Universal Championship after the match.
Roman Reigns cut a standard promo on RAW and mentioned he will reveal what's next for him on SmackDown. There has been no confirmation by WWE on how serious his injury is.

Provided he is good to go following his injury at WrestleMania, rumors suggest Roman Reigns is set to take on Drew McIntyre next. According to Casgeside Seats, the advertised cards for post-'Mania live events indicate a feud between the two.
While they have faced off during The Tribal Chief's record-breaking Universal Championship reign, it was in a non-title match at Survivor Series 2020. With his feud with Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss ending at The Show of Shows, The Scottish Warrior is finally ready to challenge the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
McIntyre could confront Reigns on tonight's episode of SmackDown and begin the build up to a title match between the two for WrestleMania Backlash.
