This weekend during the Elimination Chamber 2023 premium live event, Roman Reigns will go through his next title defense. The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship will put his title on the line against Sami Zayn in the main event match of the PLE set from Montreal, Canada.
After Roman Reigns manages to defeat Zayn, which he should do per the betting odds, then he will go on to main-event Night Two of WrestleMania 39. As confirmed by the WWE, he will defend the Title against the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes. However, WWE has been teasing changes in the lineup for quite some time.

According to the reports from Xero News, Roman Reigns is scheduled to main event the post-WrestleMania premium live event in Saudi Arabia irrespective of what the outcome remains at Wrestlemania 39,
“Source tells me that the working plan has Roman Reigns main eventing the Saudi Arabia show in May. It’s currently unknown what the PPV will be called but my source tells me he wouldn’t be surprised if it was ‘WrestleMania: Backlash’ in Saudi Arabia.”

WWE yet to fully confirm post-Mania season
WWE has confirmed the details around Money in the Bank and Summerslam 2023 following Wrestlemania 39 since these two fall under the Big-Five event category. In general, Wrestlemania Backlash gets hosted in the month of May to address the fallouts from the biggest event of the year but the 2023 edition of the PLE is yet to be announced.
There’s no confirmed update on the next Saudi show, as well. Usually, it was supposed to go down in February but then WWE announced Elimination Chamber from Montreal, Canada in that slot. That being said, it’s likely that the summer of 2023 will receive a PLE in the middle-east country. In general, WWE picks their poster boy Roman Reigns or legends like Goldberg to feature in the headliner matches.
Roman Reigns main-evented prior Saudi shows
Back in the 2022 Elimination Chamber event in Saudi, Roman Reigns eventually defeated Goldberg in a dream match to retain his Universal Title. After that at Crown Jewel 2022, The Head of the Table retained his Undisputed WWE Universal Title against mainstream celebrity Logan Paul.
