It has been confirmed that Large E has made known that WWE originally had a very different plan for the end of his WWE Prize reign.
Speaking on Notsam Wrestling, the past WWE Title holder explained that he was lined up to enter a lengthy program with Seth Rollins that would have stretched from Day 1 through WrestleMania 38.
“The moment was supposed to be me and Seth in a singles at Day 1. I was gonna drop the title anyways. Furthermore, i was supposed to drop the title to Seth.
Those plans ultimately changed.
We come back and at Mania, we do it again. Meanwhile, i regain the championship.”
The Day 1 top encounter was reworked into a multi-man bout after Roman Reigns was removed from the spectacular, leading to Brock Lesnar capturing the WWE Championship instead. Just a few months later, Large E suffered the serious neck injury that has kept him out of in-ring competition ever since — ending any possibility of the planned WrestleMania championship victory.
Reflecting on what might have been, Large E acknowledged how without hesitation plans can change in professional wrestling. “Things change all the time, so who knows what was meant?”
