This would be one of the most disastrous moves on WWE's part in recent history. Fans have just become accustomed to liking The Big Dog. Forcing him into the Universal title picture at the last moment would be a recipe for disaster, and turn the fans against him in a jiffy.
The fans have been clamoring for Seth Rollins to defeat The Beast in the main event of the show of shows. They want him to rid them of Brock's reign of terror, where he only defends the Universal title on special events like Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. Roman can get his chance at the top prize once Seth has spent a good amount of time making the title mean something. Anything other than this scenario would back the WWE into a corner again.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
