How ever WWE are still working on plans for Roman to do both nights if can make it work logically.
How did fans react to WWE's rumored plans if Roman Reigns only works Night 2 of WrestleMania 39?
Judging by the responses to Xero News' report, most fans weren't thrilled with the idea of Ronda Rousey headlining WrestleMania.
Check out some of the tweets below:
@NewsXero They canβt seriously put Ronda on last.
@NewsXero Itβs not that difficult for them to understand
And Becky vs Ronda is not a worthy main event in 2023
Maybe in 2019 when both were at their peak of popularity but not now
Roman wrestles twice, end of story nothing else should be up for discussion
@NewsXero Oh god no pls donβt have Becky vs Ronda main event I rather have Roman do both nights and let Cody win in the main event in one of them
@NewsXero Nobody and I mean nobody wants Becky Vs Ronda
@NewsXero Ronda main eventing mania π€ she canβt even main event SD
Roman Reigns has previously pulled double duty at WWE events, most notably Royal Rumble 2020. Reigns defeated Baron Corbin at the show in a Falls Count Anywhere match.
Later in the night, Reigns entered the Royal Rumble match at the #26 spot, which lasted a little over 16 minutes. The Tribal Chief came quite close to winning the whole thing but was eventually eliminated by Drew McIntyre.
As for a potential Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey Night 1 main event, fans don't seem too thrilled about it if the replies to Xero News' tweet are any indication. Back in 2019, Lynch pinned Rousey to win the first-ever Women's WrestleMania main event. At the time, fans were clamoring for a singles match between the two women at WrestleMania.
Unfortunately, the match never happened. It would be interesting to see how the live crowd reacts if the two women end up wrestling in one of the main events of WrestleMania 39.
What do you think? Would you like to see Lynch and Ronda headline Night 1 of WrestleMania 39?
