What WWE reportedly has as a backup plan if The Rock is unavailable for Wrestlemania 39
As previously noted, WWE will reportedly make final decisions regarding the top matches at Wrestlemania 39 just prior to the 2022 Royal Rumble PLE. Angel Aramboles of WrestlingNews.co wrote the following regarding the current situation…
“WrestlingNews.co has been told that The Rock is still not locked in for WrestleMania and the current plan, if The Rock can’t do the show, is for Cody Rhodes to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. WWE wants to get The Rock committed before the Royal Rumble because that is when things will get set in motion for Mania.”
Aramboles also noted that WWE still wants to split up the world titles for the summer and Seth Rollins vs. either Drew McIntyre or Cody Rhodes could end up happening at night one of Wrestlemania for the WWE title.
