Pro Wrestling Sheet are reporting that Roman has pulled out of Mania and his match over fears over coronavirus... WWE hasn't confirmed it yet though.


Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Roman Reigns will not be part of the WWE Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 36 as planned.



Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us Reigns expressed to WWE that he didn’t feel comfortable doing anymore of the Performance Center shows during the coronavirus pandemic because he’s immunocompromised from his battle with leukemia and didn’t want to risk his health.

We’re told WWE honored his request and he will now be replaced by someone else in the match against Goldberg, though it’s unclear who at this time.

As we previously reported, Stephanie McMahon detailed the many safety precautions the company is currently taking while filming shows during the coronavirus pandemic. This includes taking people’s temperatures and making sure they’re in perfect health before entering the WWE Performance Center, as well as not allowing anyone inside who has been out of the country (or in touch/contact with anybody who has been out of the country).

WrestleMania is scheduled to air April 4 and 5 on WWE Network and PPV.

As I said in the other thread, I don’t blame him tbh. I can’t knock the man for not wanting to put his health at risk.

Everytime he gets the title or is close to becoming champ, something happens and he doesn't get to be champ :sadpanda

Still, with his health issues, it's a smart decision. Gonna miss him at Mania though, he was one of the main reasons I was watching it.

Question now is what do you do with the title? Goldberg only won it to drop it to Reigns. And if he’s not comfortable performing at the PC, we probably won’t be seeing Roman for a while.

Swear to God if they put the belt back on Bray.... :sodone:

Roman is that paranoid though. I'm shocked more talent hasn't done it earlier for sure. Oh God it could happen left and right who knows.

I don't know if they can throw a logical story together fast enough (then again I don't know if they even need to) but a Goldberg vs. Strowman match could be quite the spectacle.

Honestly, wish more wrestlers did this, and we might have got it postponed until later on.

I think they shouldn't bother with the Universal title match at all, considering they've already taped the shows leading up to it, there's no time to build anything up. Just axe it.

They might as well have Goldberg defend the Championship in a Battle Royal and someone win it. Hey if Angle can do it why not someone else.

Battle royals would break the 'no more than 10 people' gathering rule lol. So that's not an option.

As happy as I am to see him out, it’s a shame he has to deal with health issues in his life, and this was definitely the right thing to do. Fuck work, health is more important.
