Roman Reigns return date: Why Roman Reigns pulled out of WrestleMania 36

After Roman Reigns revealed that he is going to pull out of WrestleMania 36, he took to Instagram and made the news official. Roman Reigns shared a six-minute-long video where he slammed his haters for calling him a coward because he will not be facing Goldberg for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36. Roman Reigns said it was a time when he had to choose between WrestleMania 36 and his family, and he decided to go with his family.

“It’s funny because for years people were like, ‘don’t show up to WrestleMania, we don’t want you in it’. Some haters didn’t want me there, but the moment I choose my family, I’m a coward. You don’t know anything,” said Roman Reigns.
