Over the years, there has been a perpetual tradition in WWE. The winner of the Royal Rumble receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to headline the biggest night of the year. The trend has been going on in WWE for so long. Ever since WWE split WrestleMania into a two-night event, things have changed quite a bit. However, this year, it seems like the company is still in a conundrum over which match should be the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania 39.

Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley won the 2023 Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble, respectively. While Cody has solidified his spot with Roman Reigns at the main event of Night 2, the situation of Night 1 is still abstruse. The WWE Universe wants to see Sami Zayn in the main event of WrestleMania considering the red-hot form he is in. Ever since Zayn was involved in the storyline of The Bloodline, he has been getting enormous support from fans worldwide. He has emerged as a fan favourite in the past few months.

Winning Royal Rumble is the most prized possession for WWE superstars. They get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to headline the Greatest Spectacle in Sports Entertainment. Therefore, the Creative Team wants to tread on old traditions and give Rhea Ripley the spotlight that she deserves. As a result, there’s a lot of turmoil going on between the creative team backstage.

According to reports, there’s a dilemma for WWE and Triple H about which direction they should go. There’s also the possibility of changes to the card ahead of WrestleMania 39. It will be interesting to see whether Hunter follows the long-established tradition or gives the fans what they want.

WrestleMania is the place where superstars become heroes and solidify their legacies. The winner of the Royal Rumble earns an exclusive ticket to headline the Showcase of the Immortals. Rhea Ripley won the Women’s Royal Rumble this year. As a result, she earned the opportunity to headline Night 1 of WrestleMania 39. Moreover, Triple H is looking to bolster the women’s division.

Therefore, it would only be right for WWE to put the match between Ripley and Charlotte as the main event on the first night. However, Sami Zayn is a name that has brought a revolution among fans in recent times. The crowd has been showing huge support for the former Intercontinental Champion. As a result, WWE might actually consider the longings of the fans and put Zayn’s match in the main event of the show.

Rhea Ripley headlining Night 1 will be the right decision considering WWE’s traditional format. Whereas, Sami Zayn being in the main event will actually make the fans feel that Triple H listens to the fans worldwide.
