WWE Rumor Roundup: Legendary wrestling couple returning at Royal Rumble, Unfortunate WrestleMania news about Roman Reigns - 24th January 2020

#4 Roman Reigns to lose at WrestleMania 36

The road to WrestleMania 36 will begin at the Royal Rumble, and at this point, Roman Reigns vs. The Fiend is expected to be the main event of the Show of Shows.

While a large section of fans would see The Big Dog beating Bray Wyatt to become the new Universal Champion at the PPV, that may not end up happening.

On the most recent Dropkick DiSKussions podcast episode with Tom Colohue and Korey Gunz, Colohue revealed that The Fiend is expected to have a lengthy reign with the Universal Championship that could last beyond 'Mania.

Tom speculated that WrestleMania could end with Wyatt retaining the title against the Big Dog.

Here's what he had to say:

I think you've answered your own question because you made a key point of saying they will assume that Roman Reigns wins at WrestleMania. What if he doesn't? I heard a few months ago that the plan was for Bray Wyatt to have a long title reign, and to potentially hold that Championship after WrestleMania. Advertisement I believe the last shot at WrestleMania would be of Bray Wyatt holding the Universal title, standing over Roman Reigns' body.

I think that is the main event, that's how you send the fans home happy, and I think back to SummerSlam 2017 when we had AJ Styles defeating John Cena clean in the middle of the ring and afterwards, once all the smoke had cleared, the fans were chanting, 'Thank you, Cena.' I think this is that moment for Roman Reigns.
