Roman Reigns has featured in the main event of Wrestlemania for four consecutive years. Starting from 2015, he was in the marquee spotlight on the grandest stage of them all.

A Wrestlemania like match takes place after Smackdown
The current reports revealed a surprising name will be waiting for him at the biggest event of the year. According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Roman Reigns is set to face Baron Corbin at Wrestlemania 35. Now it comes as the biggest disappointment for the fans. The Big Dog deserves a much bigger opponent than him.
Going by the facts, Roman Reigns four legends consecutively in Wrestlemania main events in the last four years. Baron Corbin is a no matchup to such names, having no such credibility to claim himself as a bonafide superstar. This match will do no favor to both the superstars, as well. But future advertisements also suggest the same.

This is a clear indication that the Lone Wolf will be facing the franchise player at Wrestlemania 35. WWE creative may have already sketched the planning for Wrestlemania without Roman Reigns. They were not sure of his availability until the confirmed remission announcement came from him. So they could not arrange a solid opponent for him, to date.
However, Extreme Rules card could change in the future and so is Wrestlemania. Currently, Roman Reigns will team up with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to take on against Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Drew McIntyre at Fastlane. The outcome of this match will decide the next rivalry for WWE’s poster leading up to the extravaganza in April.
