SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Bron Breakker was scheduled to win the Royal Rumble last weekend, but plans changed once WWE decided to have Drew McIntyre beat Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship according to a report from Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer.
WWE’s plans for WrestleMania initially changed after Seth Rollins’s injury at Crown Jewel in October 2025 according to the report. The original plan called for the two big matches at WrestleMania this year to be Rollins vs. Reigns and Cody Rhodes vs. C.M. Punk.
WWE’s plan then changed to put Bron Breakker in the main event picture where he was set to face Punk at WrestleMania according to the report. The plan called for him to lose to WWE World Champion C.M. Punk at the Jan. 5 Raw, win the Royal Rumble, and then beat Punk for the title at WrestleMania.
Plans then changed again once WWE decided to put the WWE Undisputed Championship on McIntyre on the Jan. 9 edition of Smackdown. McIntyre beat Cody Rhodes after Jacob Fatu interfered in the match to become the new WWE Undisputed Champion.
With McIntyre in the main event picture of WrestleMania, the decision was made to drop Bron Breakker out of the main event picture at WrestleMania. The likely main events of WrestleMania are McIntyre vs. Rhodes on night 1 and C.M. Punk vs. Roman Reigns on night 2. It is possible that Jacob Fatu could be added to the McIntyre vs. Rhodes match according to the report.
