Brock Lesnar Has Chosen His WrestleMania 38 Opponent
Brock Lesnar has already named his opponent for WrestleMania, but there is a catch.
After losing the WWE Championship to Bobby Lashley due to the interference of Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar entered the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble match. Brock Lesnar then won that match and earned the right to challenge whatever WWE World Champion he wants in the main event of WrestleMania.
On the January 31 episode of Monday Night Raw, Brock Lesnar officially declared that he would be challenging Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship but, he isn’t done with Bobby Lashley just yet.
After Bobby Lashley declined Brock Lesnar’s request for a rematch for the championship, Brock Lesnar was entered into the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match at the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia.
