WWE Survivor Series Rumor Roundup: Major "screwjob" planned, Last-minute changes made due to Roman Reigns

#4 Last-minute changes made because of Roman Reigns ahead of Survivor Series

The most-likely main event of Survivor Series 2021 would see Universal Champion Roman Reigns go one-on-one against WWE Champion Big E. There was very little build to this match until last week on SmackDown, where Reigns defeated King Woods and sent a message to Big E.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that this was a last-minute change to make Reigns vs. E at Survivor Series more personal.

''WWE did make a late change in booking for Smackdown on 11/12 to tie-in the Smackdown television program with Roman Reigns vs. King Woods, to Big E, who Reigns faces in the battle of major champions main event. Previously, E’s television issues were limited to pushing Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens, while Reigns hadn’t mentioned Big E at all in his angles which were more based around Brock Lesnar, his prospective WrestleMania opponent,'' said Meltzer.

As for the result of this clash, it's highly unlikely that The Tribal Chief will take the loss. WWE might also protect Big E by booking him strong even if he loses the match. In any case, their battle would be a must-watch.
