As previously reported on multiple occasions Wrestlemania 39 will be headlined by none other than Roman Reigns. WWE has the utmost faith in the drawing power of the top champion of the company and there’s no way that he would stay away from the spotlight. Rather, there have been speculations of him wrestling in not one but two matches on two separate nights of the show.
There are rumors going on that Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will compete in two matches at WrestleMania 39 (aka WrestleMania Hollywood), one on each night, April 1 and 2. For these nights, two world title matches are expected with two different challengers.

Roman Reigns to defend both titles at Wrestlemania?
According to the reports of Wrestling Observer, WWE wants to split the two World Titles so that they can have two separate champions again on Raw and Smackdown. The current working idea is that Reigns’ WrestleMania 39 opponents are going to be Cody Rhodes and The Rock for the WWE and Universal Titles,
“One of the things talked about internally in WWE is for Reigns to wrestle both nights at Mania, with the working ideas being Cody Rhodes and Dwayne Johnson. There is also talk of splitting up the Titles so RAW has a World Champion after Mania. But anything until probably mid-January when plans have to be finalized because of the Rumble for this year is just talk.”

Roman Reigns returning to Smackdown
As announced during the latest bygone episode of Smackdown, Roman Reigns will return, this Friday night for the first time since Survivor Series WarGames. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion will be on the show set for December 16 to possibly set up one more opponent for himself before heading into Wrestlemania 39.
According to more updates from Wrestling Observer, Reigns and Drew McIntyre suffered a ruptured eardrum at the WarGames Match leading to their hiatus,
“Both Reigns and McIntyre are out of action for right now due to suffering ruptured eardrums at Survivor Series. It’s a short-term thing, and both should be back soon.”
The expectation is that Roman Reigns will continue to stay out of action for the time being as there’s no PLE listed for the time being. In 2023, he should wrestle in three consecutive PLE nights – Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Wrestlemania 39.
