Here's Who Roman Reigns Was Scheduled To Face At WRESTLEMANIA Before Vacating The Universal Title

Roman Reigns vacating the Universal title so he can battle leukemia changed the landscape of WWE in a big way, but it's now been revealed what WWE had planned for him when he was still booked for Mania.

Roman Reigns has headlined a number of WrestleManias now (much to the chagrin of many fans) but it seems as if that wouldn't have been the case this year.

While it's previously been reported that it was always the plan for Brock Lesnar to get the Universal Championship back, it doesn't sound as if we would have seen the Beast battling The Big Dog at the Showcase of the Immortals in a rematch from last year's event.

Instead, Dave Meltzer has revealed that the plan was for Reigns to square off with Dean Ambrose, thereby leaving Seth Rollins free and clear to challenge Lesnar for the Universal title. 

This would have been an interesting enough match but hardly main event material! Still, it's interesting to think what might have been as Reigns continues kicking cancer's ass at home.
