#4. Initial WWE WrestleMania plans for Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch

Seth Rollins may have lost his WWE Championship opportunity at the Day 1 event, but he has his sights set on Roman Reigns' Universal Title for now.

In addition to original WrestleMania plans for Brock Lesnar and Charlotte Flair, Dave Meltzer also reported on Rollins' initial status for The Show of Shows:

"Rollins as WWE champion defending against either Big E, Bobby Lashley or Kevin Owens, but likely whoever wins the Rumble and E was the favorite."

Meltzer also listed Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair among the other initially planned title matches for WrestleMania 38. Big Time Becks will defend her RAW Women's Championship against Doudrop at Royal Rumble, and the odds seem to favor the titleholder in terms of booking.

Meanwhile, the company hasn't officially announced Belair as a Royal Rumble match entrant. But it would be strange not to see her in the contest, especially as she won it last year from the third position.

The EST has chased Lynch ever since she suffered a 26-second loss against the latter at SummerSlam 2021. So it would be a full-circle moment for Belair if she got to defeat the RAW Women's Champion at WrestleMania.
