Multiple reports say WWE had planned a championship program featuring Roman Reigns against Gunther after WrestleMania 42. According to the reporting, the idea did not move forward following an objection raised backstage. The objection is described as coming after Reigns allegedly declined to work with Gunther, which reportedly led WWE to scrap the planned matchup rather than proceed with a Reigns–Gunther title feud.
The accounts characterize the change as a cancellation of a “huge” match or program involving the two wrestlers, with WWE reportedly treating the backstage concern as a deciding factor. The reports do not provide detailed specifics on what the objection entails beyond the claim that Reigns would not work with Gunther.
As presented in the sources, the central point is that WWE’s post-WrestleMania plans included a potential Reigns vs. Gunther championship storyline, but those plans are said to have been dropped after an alleged backstage disagreement tied to Reigns’s willingness to participate in the program. No final confirmed match details are included in the excerpts.
