As noted, prior to Seth Rollins suffering an injury which will keep him out of action for 6-9 months, the plan was for Roman Reigns to capture the WWE World Title on or after Survivor Series and remain the Champion heading into WrestleMania 32.
It was then reported that even after Rollins suffered his injury, WWE Title tournament plans called for Reigns to win the title as originally planned, and head into WrestleMania 32 as the Champion.
However, according to PWInsider.com, over the past few days there was a big push by the WWE creative team for Dean Ambrose to win the title at Survivor Series, and leave the PPV as the new WWE World Champion.
At the very least, the report is noting Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose is expected to be the tournament finals match, but it seems as if Roman Reigns is not the lock to win the tournament as he was as of last week. Keep in mind however, that just because the creative team might be pushing for one thing to happen, there’s no guarantee it will as Vince McMahon has the final say.
As for the heel vs babyface roles in the tournament finals match, no one expects Roman Reigns to turn heel, but there remains no words as to what might happen with Ambrose’s character.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
