Details have been revealed regarding some big changes that were made to a planned main event match at this year’s WrestleMania.
As of the time of writing, the planned main event for WrestleMania 39 is a singles match between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns for the latter’s Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
However, while Roman is currently planned to defend the combined WWE title at the show of shows, it appears that was not always the case.
According to a report on Fightful Select, as far back as November WWE planned to have the belts which make up the Undisputed title – the WWE and Universal Championships respectively – each main event a night of the show.
One evening’s main event was planned to feature Seth Rollins vs either Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.
The other was planned to be either Cody Rhodes or another unknown star for Reigns’ Universal title.
WrestlingNews.co had initially reported months ago the idea of the two world championship matches at WrestleMania with the idea that Reigns would defend his against Rhodes or The Rock, and the other would be Rollins vs Rhodes or McIntyre.
According to Fightful’s report, Rhodes was always planned to win this year’s Royal Rumble, but as the team of McIntyre and Sheamus became popular, and Seth Rollins became embroiled in a feud with Logan Paul, the idea was scrapped.
