WWE WrestleMania Las Vegas: Inside Plans for the Main Event
WWE WrestleMania is shaping up to be a highly anticipated event, particularly regarding its main event lineup. According to wrestling expert Dave Meltzer, significant matchups are in the works following recent developments in WWE programming.
Plans for WrestleMania Main Event
The original plan featured Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins. However, Rollins’ current sidelined status has cast uncertainty over this matchup. While Rollins expressed hopes of returning for WrestleMania, the focus has shifted to potential opponents for Reigns.
Current Contenders
Meltzer noted that WWE is teasing two primary contenders for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania:
- Cody Rhodes (Undisputed WWE Champion)
- CM Punk (World Heavyweight Champion)
These teasers have been evident in the most recent episodes of Raw, especially leading up to the Survivor Series. During the final segment of Raw, Reigns, Rhodes, and Punk interacted in a way that hinted at their future clash.
Teasing Match Outcomes
Roman Reigns left the ring after claiming that one championship would look better on his shoulder. This statement left fans guessing whether he targets Rhodes’ Undisputed Title or Punk’s World Heavyweight Title.
As Meltzer suggested, WWE may lean towards featuring Punk in the main event, given that Rhodes has already faced Reigns twice before. However, the company seems poised to create ambiguity around both contenders. Meltzer expects clearer indications to emerge during Survivor Series.
Survivor Series Showdown
All three wrestlers are set to compete in the Men’s WarGames Match on Saturday at Survivor Series. The participating team includes:
- Cody Rhodes
- CM Punk
- Roman Reigns
- Jey Uso
- Jimmy Uso
They will face a formidable lineup consisting of:
- Bron Breakker
- Bronson Reed
- Logan Paul
- Drew McIntyre
- Brock Lesnar
The outcome of this match may significantly influence the direction of WrestleMania’s main event. Fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an electrifying showdown.
