  • Seth Rollins ended a wait of almost three years to become a WWE world champion again when he won the WWE Universal title at WrestleMania 35. He defends his title against AJ Styles at Money in the Bank on May 19 and a rematch from that bout would be the expected scenario in Jeddah. Brock Lesnar or Bill Goldberg could also be added to the mix, given their stature, so expect a demanding night for Rollins no matter who he faces. Image courtesy of WWE

  • Brock Lesnar made history when he became the first man to win a WWE world title in Saudi Arabia when he pinned Braun Strowman to claim the WWE Universal title. He lost that title to Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35. A rematch in Saudi would tick a box, but there is also the chance of a clash with arch-rival Bill Goldberg. With Lesnar now done with any plan of a UFC comeback what he does next with the WWE will be fascinating. Image courtesy of WWE

  • AJ Styles - winner: Had become stale on the blue brand after feuding with almost everyone there was to do fight. Raw mixes things up and him taking on Seth Rollins is a mouthwatering prospect. Whether he stays face or returns to the dark side will be an interesting aspect as while massively popular his best WWE work so far has been as a heel.
