Recently, there has been massive speculation about WWE planning a "Champion vs. Champion" match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. We now have an update on the plans suggesting that WWE is.

Lesnar won the WWE Championship on Day 1 earlier this month, much to the surprise of everyone. Following that, he had a confrontation with Universal Champion on SmackDown, proposing a match between the two.

"Title vs Title. Champ vs Champ. Let's do this, Roman." - @BrockLesnar 😤

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE has no plans to do a "Champion vs. Champion" match between the two. He added that the picture would become a lot clearer after Royal Rumble, depending on whether both of them can retain their titles.

“I was told no. That they just did it because those two guys had the belt at the time. So it made sense to do it at the time. But, at the time, that was not the direction that they were planning on…Lesnar and Reigns are going to have a match. I think we’ll have a lot better idea of what’s gonna happen after the Royal Rumble. But, if Seth wins and then Lesnar’s wrestling Roman, I would presume Roman beats him to win a belt back. Because Lesnar’s not going to be around long-term and Roman will be around every week," said Dave Meltzer.

"And then Rollins, I don’t know what their plans are as far as how long he would go long-term. They could have Big E beat him or they could just keep Seth going. They could have Lashley or… Kevin Owens. I mean there’s a lot of different ways they can go,” Meltzer added. (h/t Ringside News)
