Backstage News On WWE Possibly Adding Sami Zayn To The WrestleMania Main Event

On Saturday night Sami Zayn challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber and anticipation for the match was at an all time high. The Montreal crowd was clearly behind Sami Zayn, but it was Roman Reigns who picked up the victory.

Sami Zayn has become white hot over the last few months and as we head into WrestleMania there’s been a lot of speculation regarding whether or not WWE could add Sami to the main event.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that as of a week ago the plan was to do Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. There are no plans to add Sami Zayn to the match and make it a triple threat, but plans could always change.

Meltzer also pointed out that Sami Zayn has been a ratings draw for SmackDown when he added, “Given that Sami is the one who’s drawing the ratings, Roman wasn’t on [SmackDown] last night and it drew another big rating. That show is doing well with or without Roman. The draw is Sami. Given that evidence, if you are analyzing the data, by doing so you’re looking it and going like ‘we will probably do better with Sami’. I mean that’s the conclusion I’ve come to. Yeah, we’ve spent a year on Roman, but guess what? Somebody passed him up!”
