Vocal WWE fans have been campaigning on social media for weeks for Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair’s SmackDown Women’s Championship match to be the main event of Night One of WrestleMania 37. On Monday WWE started confirming which matches would be held on which night of the event, and once it was confirmed that the Universal Championship match wouldn’t take place until Night Two, the hashtag “MainEventBanksvsBelair” started trending in earnest. A number of wrestlers have even thrown in their support, but current Universal Champion Roman Reigns opted (in-character) to give his two cents on the matter on Sunday.

“2 weeks. 14 days. The 1 and ONLY Main Event,” Reigns wrote.

Reigns found out on the latest Friday Night SmackDown that, following the controversial ending to his title defense at Fastlane, he would be defending his title agianst both Royal Rumble winner Edge and Daniel Bryan. The decision prompted an already unhinged Edge to attack both men with steel chairs.
Paul Heyman, Reigns’ “Special Counsel” then tried (and failed) to get the decision rescinded on Talking Smack.
My compliments to corrupt @WWE official @ScrapDaddyAP for pulling one over on me during #TalkingSmack.
Unfortunately, at @WrestleMania, @EdgeRatedR and @WWEDanielBryan will suffer at the hands of @WWERomanReigns because of YOU.
Well played, Scrappy! https://t.co/0Rc8hYpBcD
