Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) The Original Plans For Roman Reigns’ Title Run
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE originally planned for Roman Reigns to have a short run with the Universal Championship. The company has since changed their mind.
Here is what Meltzer said:
“Roman Reigns with a long title run was not the idea, believe it or not. Even though it seems so obvious, it was not the idea. I don’t know who the guy who was supposed to be the champion was supposed to be because they basically devalued everybody else.”
My Take:
- If true, I am glad that they changed their mind. Roman is currently killing it and I am happy to see him get a long reign with the belt.
