WWE’s Original Plan To Put A Chip On Roman Reigns’ Shoulder

WWE had a lot of plans for Roman Reigns, but he needed to go into quarantine. This caused him to miss a match against Goldberg at WrestleMania and Braun Strowman was needed to fill in.

Now that the Big Dog is back, it seems like he is destined to re-capture the title he never really lost. His quest back to the Universal Title will be done as a heel this time around.

Wrestling News reports that the original idea for WrestleMania 36 would have seen Roman Reigns emerge from his match against Goldberg with a bit of a new edge.

“The idea was that he would have a chip on his shoulder after beating Goldberg for the Universal Championship in a short match.”
