Coming out of the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view with Triple H's WWE World Heavyweight Title win, the big plan is still to have the coronation of Roman Reigns as the company's top star at WrestleMania 32.
Triple H winning the title is a part of Reigns' push and as of this week, the two were still scheduled for the main event in Dallas, according to multiple sources. Even though Reigns recently won the title, it appears WrestleMania could be the start of his first significant title reign.

During the podcast, Ross admitted that he wished he did not have a personal relationship with Reigns because he feels sorry for how this good person has struggled to get over.
"For me, I wish I didn't know him as well as I do because I really feel badly [for him]. I know how badly he wants to be where he's going or trying to be placed. He [has] got a good work ethic. He's a guy who weighed 320 or 330 pounds, playing college football at Georgia Tech and he [has] worked really diligently to get himself in great shape, so I know there's a commitment there. I know he's a good athlete. I think he's a good citizen, from all I can tell. I think he's a good choice for elevation and for promotion and advancement, but I just believe that the way he has been booked has not been in his best interest as it has worked out."
Most recently, Reigns was booked poorly at this year's Royal Rumble in Ross's view.
"[Reigns] was a victim of the way he was booked. That would be like blaming Cam Newton for not throwing more touchdown passes when they weren't calling the plays. He's following the orders. He's running the plays that he's told to run, but he's getting an amazing amount of heat for doing what he's told."
