Backstage Update On Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns Storyline For Elimination Chamber

During today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about WWE’s prepare for Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns ahead of WrestleMania 39. According to Meltzer, Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn for the title is presently the prepare for the Elimination Chamber. The pay-per-view occasion is being kept in February in Montreal, Quebec, which is Zayn’s home town.

According to the report, Zayn is the “setup person” for Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. The concept for Reigns vs. Zayn at Elimination Chamber has actually been the strategy the whole time. Zayn’s appeal, and the heat of The Bloodline angle, have actually not swayed WWE’s imaginative strategies. There is presently no strategy to include Sami to the mix for the WrestleMania centerpiece.

Meltzer specified, “They didn’t make a modification since they chose not to alter strategies, and they do not see Sami Zayn as the person to centerpiece WrestleMania.” As formerly reported here on eWn, Triple H and Vince McMahon do not see Sami Zayn as the face of WWE.

WWE authorities do see Cody Rhodes as somebody who might centerpiece WrestleMania. Because WWE’s prepare for Roman Reigns vs. The Rock did not occur, and given that Steve Austin declined the deal to battle at this year’s Show of Shows, Cody was viewed as the person. Rhodes’ pectoral injury undoubtedly altered the trajectory of things a bit.
