In a post on Twitter, Bleacher Report’s Jeremy Botter stated that the reason Roman Reigns lost at Wrestlemania to Brock Lesnar was that he wasn’t getting the reaction that Vince McMahon wanted. It’s believed that the plan is now for Reigns to defeat Lesnar at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. The two are set to fight for the Universal title in a steel cage match.

My understanding is Lesnar signed for one more match. Audible called by Vince during the match last night when Roman wasn’t getting over at all. Now Lesnar will lose the belt in front of a more conducive audience. — Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) April 9, 2018

There may be an extra TV appearance in the deal, but at most I’m told this is a two appearance deal. — Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) April 9, 2018

He had no more TV appearances on the deal – the only things left were related to merchandising. https://t.co/ICFimPwJpT — Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) April 9, 2018

Now, it’s likely we’ll see Lesnar in WWE beyond these two appearances. But not for awhile and likely less than we are used to seeing him. He’s committed to putting everything he has into UFC. — Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) April 9, 2018

As far as Lesnar and UFC goes: he’s currently targeted to face to DC/Stipe winner at the year-end show in December. I suspect he would be back in WWE for a Mania appearance after that, especially if he wins the heavyweight title. (He won’t win it) — Jeremy Botter (@jeremybotter) April 9, 2018

It should be noted this contradicts other reports, which suggest that Lesnar signed a multi-year contract.
