News on Charlotte Flair Reportedly Being Promised The WrestleMania Main Event

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the story going around that Charlotte Flair has been promised the main event is untrue. The original plan was not even for Rousey to be the main event. The original plan was for Roman Reigns to headline, prior to his leukemia diagnosis, likely against Dean Ambrose.

Rousey vs. Natalya was going to be the women’s main event on the Raw side, but the two things that took that out of the picture were that Lynch and Flair got hurt, and that Jim Neidhart died, and once Neidhart died, Vince didn’t want to turn Natalya heel on Rousey. Rousey vs. Flair was long expected to be the match and even amain event but things changed. Then Lynch got hot and pretty much everyone was on the same page for Rousey vs. Lynch at Mania and Rousey vs. Flair at Rumble.

Rousey vs. Lynch is the Mania match. The decision on if it will be the main event and go on last has not been made, and probably won’t be made until very close to show time; it also could still end up a triple threat with Charlotte.
