There is said to be a feeling among many within WWE that because the company had WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar make the announcement that he has re-signed with WWE on ESPN’s SportsCenter earlier this week, it’s likely that he will retain the title when he defends it against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31 tonight.
Another reason people think Lesnar is retaining is the belief that Roman Reigns becoming the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion would be a bigger issue among fans than Reigns losing his first WrestleMania main event. There’s a feeling within WWE that if they put the title on Reigns this early, it could be a situation that he can’t recover from in the long-term.
Speaking of tonight’s main event, there has been talk this week that WWE has made some creative changes to the match, although what those are remain to be seen.
