Roman Reigns was originally set to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 this weekend, but it was recently reported that The Big Dog pulled out of the event due to health concerns.
However, as far as storylines go Roman hasn’t been removed from the match yet, and he’s still being advertised for Mania.
Triple H addressed the situation during an interview with ESPN MMA and he noted that Roman will be removed from the storyline in a unique way.
“You can watch our business in multiple different ways. One of them is the storyline aspect of it and to follow the storyline. Another way is the online component of it and the reality of it behind it. Roman has his situation and his reasons for doing the things he’s doing, but I will say from our standpoint and the storyline standpoint, it’s going to play out in a unique manner and we want it to play out that way. I don’t want to give away the ending of the movie before the movie takes place. Everybody just has to watch and see how this unfolds. It will unfold in a unique way and I think it will be meaningful for everybody.”
“There will always be critics, it’s our company’s mission to put smiles on peoples faces, and that’s what we’re trying to do in this situation at a time where people really need those smiles. It might not be the perfect product but it is the product and it is what it is right now.”
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
