”What we were told is that the decision was made to save Reigns vs. McIntyre for the bigger summer shows. The idea is with the smaller building, and coming four weeks after WrestleMania, the interest level wasn’t going to be that high, and they need big matches for the bigger shows,” stated Meltzer.
