As we have previously reported, Roman Reigns is set to face off against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 and he’s expected to be the biggest heel that night in Orlando, regardless of whether or not WWE actually turns him.
Roman Reigns defeated Braun Strowman clean at Fastlane, and a lot of people were expecting The Undertaker to come down and make a run-in or at least an appearance via blue lights and smoke, but that didn’t happen either. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, they didn’t go with the run-in or at least “smoke-in” option because the main event already had a similar ending booked with Chris Jericho getting involved in Goldberg’s Universal Title match against Kevin Owens.
The thinking was if they ended the match in a DQ, then people would have hated it. So, they decided to use the ending to build toward something else rather than squelch it there and neglect fans at Fastlane from getting an actual finish.
They wanted to give Roman Reigns a clean win over Braun Strowman so it would set Roman up for his win against Taker at WrestleMania. It is also thought that this match will set up Braun Strowman as a great opponent for Roman Reigns after Reigns is done feuding with The Undertaker and quite possibly Brock Lesnar.
Therefore, the next time these two meet down the line it could very well be for the WWE Universal Title.
