Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 to become the undisputed champion and The WWE shows no sign of having him drop the belt anytime soon. What is up for debate, however, is when he will defend his new prize. While Vince McMahon is reportedly adamant that Reigns only defend the belts at stadium shows, it just so happens that the upcoming Money In The Bank pay-per-view at Allegiant Stadium is one of those events.

It's being reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer that Drew McIntyre might in fact get his first crack at Reigns s undisputed title at Money in The Bank in Las Vegas. If not, the title match will likely be saved for Clash at the Castle, which will serve as the company s first U.K pay-per-view in several years.
