Arguably the most anticipated match heading into WWE Day 1 is the title clash between Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
WWE has done a splendid job with booking this feud and fans are completely invested despite the two having feuded several times previously.
A couple of weeks ago on SmackDown, Roman Reigns fired his special counsel Paul Heyman. This has further made things interesting as the focal point of the feud between Reigns and Lesnar has been the loyalty of Paul Heyman. Fans are wondering whether Heyman will now officially return to his former client, Brock Lesnar.
"I'm not protecting @BrockLesnar from you, I'm protecting you from Brock Lesnar." 😮

As per the recent reports, something big is being planned for this match at WWE Day 1 that could have WrestleMania implications.
While the biggest shocker would be Lesnar ending Reigns' epic title reign, another twist could happen. Heyman could tease helping Lesnar beat Reigns, only to end up helping Reigns retain his title. This would prove his loyalty to his Tribal Chief while also protecting Brock Lesnar in this match. All this could ultimately lead to a WrestleMania main event.
