#5. WWE has already taped Goldberg's new WrestleMania match
WWE needed a new WrestleMania opponent for Goldberg after Reigns made the call to sit this one out.
As revealed by Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Braun Strowman reportedly wrestled Goldberg at the WrestleMania tapings, which happened on Wednesday and Thursday.
It's interesting to note that Reigns himself requested the company to keep him off WrestleMania, however, he was still present at the WWE Performance Center during the tapings.
Meltzer revealed:
"Yes, WrestleMania was taped Wednesday and Thursday and Roman Reigns did not wrestle Bill Goldberg. I believe Braun Strowman wrestled Bill Goldberg. Roman Reigns made the call himself. It was interesting because he was there and made the call."
As reported first by Pro Wrestling Sheet's Ryan Satin, Roman Reigns' battle against leukemia has weakened his immune system, which puts him at a greater risk of getting infected by the Covid-19 virus.
Reigns made the call to pull out of WrestleMania and WWE has rightfully supported his decision.
