WWE Rumours: Roman Reigns was booted from main event of SummerSlam

Finn Balor raw debut
Roman Reigns’ defeat came as a shock for many

In an interesting piece of news, Allwrestlingnews is reporting that the plans of Raw's main event for SummerSlam were altered and the original plans were different than what WWE has announced currently.

As seen on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw, a debuting Finn Balor defeated the former WWE champion Roman Reigns following his victory in the fatal four-way match earlier in the night, to earn the right to fight Seth Rollins at SummerSlam for the WWE Universal Championship.

However, the site reports that the original plans were for Reigns to go over and face Rollins at SummerSlam. But these plans were allegedly changed following Reign's wellness policy suspension.

Although it hasn't been revealed if Finn Balor would still have been the one to face Reigns on Raw had events not turned out the way they did, as the WWE is reportedly also high on the Demon.

It's notable here that WWE officials are very unhappy with Roman Reigns for his wellness policy violation and they are in a mood of punishing him. This is said to be the reason behind the fact that he was the one who took the pin during the Shield triple threat match at Battleground and then lost to Finn Balor clean the following night on Raw as well.
