Just because the rumor was one thing doesn't mean it's etched in stone.

Either way, based on how he's been booked since WM, I sense that they may finally be shifting away from the idea of Reigns as the brand's top face. Maybe reforming the Shield will be their last-ditch attempt to get him over as a face, and have him finally vanquish Brock after a year with the title or something. But he also just ate a clean pin in a match where he was basically the fourth most important participant.

Plus, I don't know how much longer they're gonna want to wait before having Cena win his 17th title. Seems like he's being brought over to Raw for a reason.
