WrestleMania 36 went through a lot of changes due to the coronavirus pandemic. First, WWE had to change the venue of WrestleMania 36 and later had to make some changes to the match card because some wrestlers called in sick. This got worse when Roman Reigns pulled out of his title match against Goldberg. According to Goldberg, Roman Reigns, who had fought leukaemia twice in his life, was concerned about his and his family’s health after someone from WWE called in sick. Goldberg said Roman Reigns wanted to compete in WrestleMania, but when he saw the situation around him, he decided to pull out.
