Bengaluru, March 7: In what comes as one of the biggest surprises of the year, Roman Reigns might end up not having a marquee matchup at Wrestlemania 35. If the recent reports are true then one of the low-caliber superstars from Monday Night Raw is set to face him at the grandest stage of them all. There’s no way that it could live up to the status of the franchise player of the WWE.
As per the reports from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, The Big Dog will meet Baron Corbin at Wrestlemania 35. Corbin is perhaps the biggest reason that the flagship show faced a decline in ratings for the better part of 2018. His run as the acting general manager of the show was perhaps the most boring season in the show’s history. You can only assume the frustration among the WWE Universe if the officials put him against the poster boy of the company.
Even future advertisements from WWE also suggest the same. Roman Reigns is booked against the Lone Wolf throughout the post-Wrestlemania season. This is perhaps the biggest hint of the match becoming reality at the showcase of immortals. As much as the fans do not want to see it, WWE might make it official for Wrestlemania and another pay-per-view event later.

It would be really disappointing if Roman Reigns has to face Baron Corbin at Wrestlemania 35 which is not a 'Wrestlemania-caliber’ matchup, by any means. We can’t blame the WWE officials for such a bad booking since they were not aware of receiving the Big Dog before the April 7th show. He returned in the month of February which was the eleventh hour of the booking season.
