5 Top WWE rumors from this week: Surprising Vince McMahon match set for WrestleMania 38, Major Roman Reigns match in jeopardy (February 26th, 2022)

#4 Reason why major Roman Reigns WrestleMania 39 match might not happen

A dream match between Universal Champion Roman Reigns and WWE legend The Rock has been rumored to take place at WrestleMania 39 for quite some time now.

However, Dave Meltzer has now reported that this match might be in jeopardy as The Brahma Bull might be too busy for a return due to the XFL.

“Dwayne being all over next year promoting (the XFL), which could be interesting because next year is the WrestleMania that he was supposed to work with Roman Reigns, and that would be in April, and that’s probably gonna be the middle of the season," said Meltzer.

As for this year, The Tribal Chief is set to face WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a massive "Winner Takes All Championship Unification" match at WrestleMania 38.

#3 AJ Styles has re-signed and is now one of the top earners

Two-time WWE Champion AJ Styles has reportedly signed a new contract with the company. His contract was set to expire later this year and the company made it a priority to sign him to a new deal and were successful in doing so. This is reportedly a multi-year deal that will see Styles earn over $3 million per year.

Dave Meltzer has further reported that with this new contract, The Phenomenal One is now one of the top earners in WWE.

"If the number is correct, it would put Styles in the top echelon when it comes to money behind Lesnar, Reigns, Rousey and Orton that we know of and Edge, Goldberg and it is believed Miz are the guys right underneath the top four that he'd be at the same level with," reported Dave Meltzer.

AJ Styles most recently competed for the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber last week in Saudi Arabia. He is rumored to have a dream match against a Hall of Famer at WrestleMania 38. More on that in the next slide.
