Roman has held the Universal Championship since August 2020 before merging the belt with the WWE Championship after beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 in April of this year.
He has been champion for over 700 days at this stage, and a new report has claimed that his reign is not going to be ending anytime soon .A new report from WrestlingNews.co has revealed that Triple H is planning on having Roman Reigns stay as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for the remainder of 2022.In fact the report claims that Reigns will be walking into WrestleMania 39 as the champion meaning he would have been champion for a staggering 945 days by that point.
WrestlingNews.co was told by someone familiar with the creative process that nothing has changed and there are still no plans for him to lose the title this year. The plan is still for Roman to defend his titles against The Rock at WrestleMania next year with The Tribal Chief winning the match and walking out of Los Angeles with his reign still intact.
The source who is familiar with the creative process told WrestlingNews.co that Triple H is moving forward with the original plans and the idea is still for Reigns to talk into WrestleMania as champion. If plans stay the same Reigns would beat The Rock and then lose the title sometime after Mania.So it seems like the plan at least as of right now is for Roman to walk into WrestleMania 39 as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion beat The Rock to retain his title and then drop the belts shortly thereafter.
Interestingly days before Clash at the Castle which aired on September 3 reports stated that Triple H was considering taking the titles off Reigns and giving them to Drew McIntyre. However based on the aforementioned report about WWE being pretty set on having Roman as champion until April 2023 at the very least it seems like Reigns dropping the belts was not really ever truly considered .In fact WrestlingNews.co commented on the reports noting that while some discussions did take place its unclear whether or not Triple H ever truly considered taking the titles off Roman.
