This year’s WrestleMania was a very different show, as it was pre-taped and took place from the WWE Performance Center in front of no fans.
Originally Roman Reigns was set to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Title at WrestleMania 36, but Roman pulled out due to health concerns, and he was later replaced by Braun Strowman.
Jon Moxley and Roman Reigns spent a lot of time working together during Moxley’s run with WWE, and during an interview with PWInsider the current AEW World Champion shared his thoughts on The Big Dog pulling out of the Show of Shows.
“Dude, I mean, this is unprecedented times, man. This is crazy. I mean you hear about all these other eras and people went through the Great Depression and wars and all that stuff. I mean, I grew up in the 90s so our generation has never had to deal with any kind of struggle, or tough choices, or anything like this to this degree. So it’s crazy that we’re actually living through something like this. And I would not judge anybody’s decision about things they do. I think definitely in his situation, I think it was definitely the smart thing to do. And I’d spend support that decision 100%. I think it was the right move.”
It was recently reported that Roman Reigns is not to be mentioned on WWE programming.
It’s not clear at this point in time when he’ll be returning.
