Details on WWE Keeping The WM Main Event Finish Tightly Guarded

The finish of the Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns Match at WrestleMania 34 was so tightly guarded even backstage that none of the writers and many of the producers were under the assumption that Reigns was going to lose. The move to have Lesnar win was said to be a late minute change, but according to Dave Meltzer on a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, it wasn’t a last minute change. He even said that it was likely decided sometime during the week.
The referee did even know how the finish would go but he was only told during the match to count to three. In other words, the referee went into the match believing, just like everyone else, that Reign was going to win the match, but at some point during the match, he received clear instruction that the finish was changed and to count the three for Brock instead.
The reason for the switch is because it became obvious that WWE was not going to get the type of reaction from the audience that they wanted for Reigns, so now the rumor is that Lesnar will drop the title in Saudi Arabia not only to get a more positive reaction, but because WWE sees that country as an important partner and this could be a “perk” they were given.
