Although WrestleMania is still four months away, Roman Reigns run with both WWE's World Titles means the biggest show of the year is being pegged by fans as the event during which that run finally comes to an end. A number of names are being thrown around, whether that be through reports or speculation, and apparently, the potential of The Tribal Chief competing on both nights is currently on the table.
Roman Reigns On Both Nights Of WrestleMania
According to the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, having Reigns defend a different title on each night of WrestleMania 39 is being discussed internally in WWE. The two names being discussed when it comes to who Reigns would be tasked with facing are The Rock and Cody Rhodes. Presumably having Rhodes winning the Rumble to get there, and Rock showing up closer to WrestleMania to challenge his cousin's actions as The Head of the Table.

While that is currently a possibility, and even calling it that at this point might be a stretch, it is also noted in the latest WON that these are ideas at present. Having Reigns defend against Rhodes and The Rock 24 hours apart is likely one of many ideas. Definite plans won't be in place until about a month from now. At that point they will need to be as WWE will be cementing who wins each of 2023's Royal Rumble matches.
Nothing Is Set In Stone
Even then plans can change, of course, and in some cases have to change due to injuries and other unforeseen circumstances. Pinning down The Rock is probably proving problematic too. Between his various movies and relaunching the XFL, among about a thousand other things, finding one night to wrestle a match is harder than it sounds. Not to mention the appearances he'll need to make to build to the match, the training required to get back in ring shape, and the risk he runs of picking up an injury.
Also mentioned in the latest WON is the want to split the titles so Raw has its own World Title again. USA Network has apparently requested that, and it was revealed earlier this year that at one point, Reigns was slated to lose one of his titles at Clash at the Castle. Even if Rhodes and Rock on different nights isn't the plan WWE goes with, it seems increasingly likely WWE's World Titles will be separate again after WrestleMania.
