It seems that the main event of night one of WrestleMania 39 has not fully he determined. With that being said, the latest news is leading more towards the men’s Tag Team Title match rather than the SmackDown Women’s Title match.
Originally the thought was that Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley would main event night one. Mainly due to the fact that Ripley won the Royal Rumble, however, last year’s winner Ronda Rousey didn’t main event either.
According to Fightful Select, WWE sources indicated as of Friday that Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair had not been told they were main eventing the match. It was believed that those involved in the tag team match had been made aware that they could prepare for that slot. This would be the champions The Usos vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn.
The report continues, one WWE source claimed that had been the case for the last couple of weeks, and many within the company had operated on the assumption that the tag team match would main event.
Internally, Fightful was told the thought had been given to Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair main eventing because women didn’t main event last year. However, virtually everyone Fightful reached out to said that they thought the tag title match would and should main event the show. It was also noted that the tag titles had never main evented WrestleMania, and a man of Syrian descent had never headlined the show.
Those that Fightful spoke to within the company believe the tag team match is going to main event, but believe it will be finalized at Saturday morning’s production meeting.
