In what WWE is billing as “the biggest WrestleMania match in history,” Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns will headline Night 2 of WrestleMania 38 on Sunday.
As much as it’s hyperbolic to give any match that level of hype, the stakes for Lesnar vs. Reigns are high enough that it doesn’t come off as being too much of an exaggeration. It’s the two biggest stars in WWE right now facing off in a winner-take-all match to unify the WWE championship and universal championship.
This will be the third time that a Lesnar vs. Reigns match has headlined WrestleMania. The two previously faced each other in the main events of WrestleMania 31 in 2015 and WrestleMania 34 in ’18. But the versions of Lesnar and Reigns that we’re getting this year are totally different from who they used to be. As characters, both Lesnar and Reigns are better than they’ve ever been. The current babyface, cowboy hat-wearing version of Lesnar has been so much fun to watch, and Reigns and Paul Heyman are fantastic villains to oppose him.
