Dave Meltzer noted during Wrestling Observer Radio that the original WWE plan for Roman Reigns as Universal Champion was not to give him a longer title run.
Meltzer noted that although Reigns holding the title now for a longer period seems obvious, it was “not the idea” by the WWE creative team for when he originally won the belt.
It’s currently unknown who originally planned to take the title off Reigns for his previously planned short Universal title run.
Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre will go down on Sunday, November 22 at Survivor Series.
