The Rock v Roman Reigns: 11 matches WWE scrapped for this year’s WrestleMania

WrestleMania is often a crazy time for WWE, with plans for the big show changing on what seems like a daily basis.

However, this year’s show has seemed even more chaotic, with several plans, at least according to reliable reports, having to be changed by WWE.

In fact, WrestleTalk recently published a list, which you can check out by clicking here, and according to the site, WWE has had to change the plans for 11 matches at WrestleMania this year.

As of March 11, WWE was planning on having New Day’s Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods face Ridge Holland, Sheamus and Butch (Pete Dunne) at WrestleMania 38.

However, on the March 11 episode of SmackDown, Big E broke his neck after a botched suplex from Ridge Holland, and while he doesn’t require surgery, he definitely won’t be fit to wrestle by WrestleMania.

While WWE’s new plans for the story aren’t yet clear, we do know that whatever we end up seeing won’t be what was originally planned for us.

10. Johnny Knoxville v Sami Zayn – Intercontinental Championship

While Johnny Knoxville v Sami Zayn is happening, it’s not in the original form that WWE was presenting it as.

Sami Zayn won the IC title on the February 11 episode of SmackDown, only to lose it on the March 4 show to Ricochet.

During his three-week reign as champion, WWE actually announced that Zayn would be defending his belt against Knoxville at WrestleMania.

There’s no word on why the plans changed, or if this was always the plan, but we
