ROMAN REIGNS
Roman Reigns has pulled out of his main event match with Goldberg at Wrestlemania 36 due to concerns over the Caronavirus pandemic according to Cageside Seats. Wrestlemania was being taped this past Wednesday and Thursday at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. It was set to air on April 4th and 5th with Rob Gronkowski as the special guest host. Reigns, whose real name is Joe Anoai has battled Leukemia and is immuno-compromised. Reigns doesn't want to risk his health so he requested to be pulled from the event and WWE honored his request.
Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer reports that Braun Strowman wil replace Roman Reigns in the match with Goldberg (listen to Meltzer's comments here). An explanation will be provided on Smackdown this Friday night. A feud featuring Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns for the Universal title would seem fresh as the two haven't faced each other since 2017.
No matter what happens I hope all the wrestlers are safe and healthy. In this time of uncertainty that is the most important thing.
Class Dismissed,
THE PROFESSOR
