What’s the story?

In case you didn’t know…
This year’s edition of WWE’s biggest annual PPV, WrestleMania, will be headlined by a Universal title match between reigning Champion Brock Lesnar and number-1 contender Roman Reigns.
However, certain sections of fans and experts have criticized the WWE’s booking of Reigns in what will be his 4th consecutive time of closing out WrestleMania—asserting that there are several other performers who could be accorded the honor of headlining ‘Mania.
The heart of the matter
Paul Heyman explained that both Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are very ambitious individuals and never satisfied with what they’ve achieved—who, instead of resting on past laurels, choose to seek higher levels of greatness.
Additionally, Heyman elucidated that Lesnar and Reigns’ mindset is that they’re not merely content by making it big in WWE, but keep working to obtain higher ground. Heyman added that WWE head honcho Vince McMahon is starting a football league within the next couple of years, at the age of 72 nonetheless—which in turn indicates the kind of ever-evolving mindset that he expects from his WWE Superstars. Heyman stated—
“The only thing I can add to what I just said is, it's not only a matter of doing more—Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are the main event of WrestleMania 34 because neither one is content and both are ambitious enough to push the limits of what is now considered their greatest moment and that's the point that neither one will ever accept. They will never accept the idea that they've peaked as individuals—they both aspire to achieve a higher level of greatness.”
“He doesn't want the main event of WrestleMania to feature somebody that says, 'I've put in my hard work and the main event of WrestleMania is me cashing in my chips.' He wants someone to look at WrestleMania as merely the demonstration as to why more should be offered to this person."
What’s next?
The WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns title matchup takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 8th.
The vast majority of professional wrestling industry experts believe that Reigns is set to defeat Lesnar for the title, following which the latter is likely to return to the UFC and the sport of MMA.

Paul Heyman is spot-on with his analysis of Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and Vince McMahon.
Ambition serves as a catalyst to the odyssey in which one achieves greatness.
Well, if anyone understands how to achieve greatness, it is indeed the genius WWE billionaire Mr. McMahon.
