Several More Wrestlers Off WrestleMania, Changes Being Made

It’s just the beginning. WrestleMania 36 is not going to be like your normal show. In addition to the whole lack of fans in attendance thing, there is also going to be the issue of having the show taking place over two nights and even taped on top of it. Then there’s the whole pandemic issue to deal with, and that one might have taken things down even further than expected.

On Thursday, news broke that Roman Reigns was not likely going to be wrestling at WrestleMania. This was quite the blow to the show as Reigns was scheduled to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Title in one of the show’s headlining matches. The title match will likely still take place, albeit with a different challenger. However, it turns out that more changes are likely taking place.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, multiple people on the WrestleMania card have either taken themselves off of the show, are not being allowed to wrestle, or have not flown in to the show whatsoever. At the moment, it is not clear who will be off of the show or what changes will be made. WrestleMania was filmed in advance on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, meaning that the show is complete.

Since he won’t be wrestling, you might need some Reigns. Check out what Reigns could have done at WrestleMania:

Opinion: I’m a huge wrestling fan who has been to four WrestleManias and had a ticket to this year’s edition. At this point though, WrestleMania is seeming to be more of a disaster every single day. It should be interesting to see what happens with the show, but this could be something that goes so far away from what it was supposed to be that it might not even resemble WrestleMania in the first place.
