According to a recent report from Fightful Select, the WWE's decision to unify the top titles was a spur-of-the-moment choice that arose after Roman Reigns was unable to participate in the Day 1 event due to contracting COVID-19. ## At that point, WWE hastily made the decision to include Brock Lesnar in the WWE Title match, which he ultimately won. This then set the stage for a unification match at WrestleMania 38. Interestingly, some internal documents from the previous year had indicated that there was a plan to split the WWE and Universal Titles. ## Supposedly, Drew McIntyre or Seth Rollins were being considered as potential challengers for Cody Rhodes and the WWE Championship. However, these plans were quickly abandoned, and the idea of unification was ultimately pursued instead. ## It should be noted that the original plans for the King of the Ring tournament were also altered to accommodate the new WWE World Heavyweight Title. The details of how the titles were going to be split remain unclear, but it appears that the WWE was seriously considering making such a move at one point. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

The main event of WWE WrestleMania 39 - night two left many fans flabbergasted as they watched Cody Rhodes fall short in his bid to dethrone Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. It was widely believed that Rhodes was a shoo-in to claim the coveted title, which made the outcome all the more surprising. ## Currently, the two formidable stars are plying their trade on separate brands, with Reigns and Rhodes remaining on Raw and SmackDown, respectively. With a new World Heavyweight Champion set to be crowned on May 27 at Night of Champions, Rhodes now has a fresh opportunity to contend for the top title in WWE Raw. ## During an interview with ComicBook Nation, Rhodes was questioned about Paul Heyman's recent comments regarding how he needed to face such adversity before he could triumph over Reigns. In response, Rhodes acknowledged that Heyman was aware of his tendency to be reactionary and that he always attempts to do things that people say he cannot accomplish. ## He highlighted how WrestleMania 39 was the most profitable event of all time, emphasizing that a win is a win and a loss is a loss. He also noted that he has refrained from whining about his defeat on television, exhibiting a remarkable level of poise and maturity. ## "The goal is the same, is the best way to put it. The goal is the same for me as a sports entertainer, as a wrestler. I came here wanting one thing. It doesn't mean other stories won't happen that will also be finished, and it doesn't mean there aren't other milestones. We're talking about good things like video game covers, but the important thing to me is still the championship on Roman's shoulders, and it's the biggest match that WWE could do. But it would take a great deal of mountains to be moved for that rematch to even happen. The goal is the same for me,” Rhodes stated. “I just have to see it through and do the work.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
