Note on which matches will headline Wrestlemania 39
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes is set to headline the second night of this year’s Wrestlemania event.
While that decision is obvious, WWE has yet to decide which match will headline night one. The internal feeling is that it should be Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley. People backstage have reportedly pushed for it because of sponsors and ‘political reasons’, since men main evented both nights last year. The belief is that it would be a good idea for women to headline a night this year, and Flair vs. Ripley is a better candidate than Asuka vs. Bianca Belair.
Anything Reigns is in and anything Flair is in. What a totally surprising surprise that absolutely no one could have guessed. I mean, at least there’s some cover in that both their opponents were Royal Rumble winners, but they’ll have to make it three nights so Lesnar can main event too.
Given that both main events will be title matches makes sense. The bigger question is, are we gonna see both title change hands? If Rhea loses, I think people will go nuts. If Cody loses, that means WWE screwed up by not calling an audible and having Sami win in Canada.
