Plans Change: Big WrestleMania Title Matches That Were Adjusted

Plans do change in professional wrestling.

Several plans have changed for WWE since the fall, specifically late November to early December. Between Fightful and WrestlingNews.co, numerous of those have been covered. We're going to look at a few each day.

Bianca Belair vs. Charlotte Flair, WrestleMania: Ronda Rousey's creative adjustments also caused some adjustments to this match. As of November, Charlotte was actually slated to return to the WWE Raw brand, before Rousey took January off and she picked up the title. While many speculated Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair as a WrestleMania match, we haven't seen any plans that indicate that was suggested.

Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre Title Match: A lot has changed since November, clearly, because none of these three people are involved with each other at all. Rundowns as of that period had two title matches happening, this one on night one, and another on night two. Cody Rhodes was listed as an option for both of them, with "TBA/Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns" being set as a WWE Universal Title match, and Rollins vs. Rhodes/Drew as a WWE Championship match. Rhodes was always set to win the Royal Rumble as one would expect, but the Drew McIntyre/Sheamus team took off, and Seth Rollins moved on to Logan Paul, and the extra title match was nixed altogether.
