The Tribal Chief is set to defend his Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 38.

[{"selector":"#anim-f119e641-4af7-4848-9162-ebc5187f7fa6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-09258137-f0d2-480b-8a07-de95cbf1a544","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-131.49607%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84da29b9-4b15-4b2c-b011-ec338e7fce0c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3bae7894-2423-45b5-9503-94b596e31dda","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Roman Reigns is entering his 6th WrestleMania Main Event, but he might not have even made it past his first.

[{"selector":"#anim-60a35e56-4594-4aec-bca6-a3a761d73bb4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(130.70864%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-26b079ff-796a-4a65-9f76-47afb79a35a6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4db65271-0b06-4251-926d-aad557cee2e6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a16ff3ea-f7b1-4faa-a8d7-09f4bc54a67b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

In the lead-up to WrestleMania 31, the plan was to have Reigns beat an exiting Lesnar for the WWE Championship.

[{"selector":"#anim-b057ecef-1672-4630-8182-179d4081cddc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(130.70864%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-246821b5-8ba6-4d0f-b51b-c7c98bba2ab4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6bc65810-5aca-4f02-bfba-b939b26a0a95","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d2485d7-3b3a-4068-ba8c-f34f9b83de4d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But then Brock re-signed and the main event was jeopardized due to Reigns' position with the WWE Universe at the time.

[{"selector":"#anim-51d0119c-d4ef-464c-a1dd-8d8d97cafedc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(130.70864%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0093f56a-8472-4afe-aadf-bec00807efa5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0cd63f4b-a05e-4b9c-bb3f-2c4c6e45f824","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e590e45-89fd-459f-896f-db0b1dcf9355 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

So they went with Seth Rollins instead and gave us the Best WrestleMania Moment of the Modern Era.

[{"selector":"#anim-c2fe05ec-696e-41ad-8c3e-45d4e36424cb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-132.67716%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5e239958-fae0-46b6-8385-70d3ffc38901","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18252d8f-08ee-487c-8c4c-629b5c400242","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2c6390a-71d9-41c0-a372-6f64e85a4f3f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Only Sika Anoa'i didn't appreciate the last-minute switch and blew up backstage, threatening to "Go to War" with Vince over the slight.

[{"selector":"#anim-a45a0b6a-22a3-4349-8f99-b83d9d2d7655","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-122ef664-dddd-4c7f-aa0e-6093e9bfbfa9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Hall of Famer also asked his son to quit WWE in his anger; a decision, in fairness, most WWE fans would've loved at the time.

[{"selector":"#anim-aa88d76d-9e4e-423c-917a-ad67dec28159","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-59b03436-df63-4c4a-a2d0-de88cb7ff06f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

We're glad Roman didn't listen to him, though; because he can now avenge that slight at the Most-Stupendous Tw-Night WrestleMania of All Time.

[{"selector":"#anim-a934b07d-5f8e-4d6a-9dc9-c40b339eec36","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
