Breaking: Roman Reigns (and more) out of WrestleMania 36

Probably Daniel Bryan considering his wife Brie recently revealed his immune system is messed up.

I'd pay $9.99 now to see Vince's face at the moment he heard that news.

Lollllll fucking hell this is gonna go down as the most fucked up Mania ever

Says a new opponent will be named shortly.

I could see HHH replacing Roman since he's already there. How would you feel about WrestleMania ending with HHH celebrating winning the title?

Nobody would have blamed WWE for just canning the whole show and making up for it with a really big Summerslam or Survivor Series whenever this virus dies down.

But Vince’s insistence that Mania go on despite all of this is just a new level of stubborn.

Holy shit can you imagine one of those ego wanking 45 minute Triple H Wrestlemania matches in an empty arena? :lol:

Paging Duane Gill

We could have the epic Gilberg vs Goldberg match 17 years in the making

Everyone on twitter wants Matt Riddle

Meltzer:

Is Shane McMahon booked?

Pulling out is the last thing I'd want him to do to me

Shane defeating Goldberg for the title in the main-event of WM would make this the best Mania ever. I'm a fan of "The Room" and at this point I'm hoping for "The Room" of wrestlemanias.

I do not understand how Wrestlemania wasn't just postponed. Fuck...Indy 500 has until August.

Supposedly the mentality from Vince and others in similar agreement is to just get Mania over with and not bother having it hang over for months regardless of the situation later.

They flat out don't want to cancel it nor deal with any schedule or planning problems if Mania were to get pushed back.

unrelated but Moxley made an appearance on WWE Backstage this week


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Moxley and their dog crashed the stream lol <a href="https://t.co/WqNE1hfqkN">pic.twitter.com/WqNE1hfqkN</a></p>&mdash; Fightful Wrestling (@FightfulWrestle) <a href="https://twitter.com/FightfulWrestle/status/1243376616555917314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 27, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Wm should just cancel...wtf is the point anymore?

Oh and everyone could see this coming

Meltzer also saying Braun on his messageboard


https://i.postimg.cc/FzQKwqKg/Screen...1-24-11-PM.png

My guess is they start in the ring for 1-2 minutes then...

Braun does his running shoulder tackle thing outside the ring but Goldberg spears him, rolls him in and Braun kicks out. Goldberg goes for Jackhammer and Braun reverses immediately into powerslam and wins 1-2-3.

If WWE hadn't quickly rushed The Fiend into a random feud with Cena, could have done a rematch of Fiend vs. Goldberg as the backup plan for the Universal belt.

Roman has the World's Worst Luck. Seriously.

Have not been paying attention/don't remember...... has Brock Lesnar been on one of these empty arena shows already?

If he is still in Canada, he ain't gonna make it either.

He was on RAW this week

Oh, ok. Never mind........

......

......

He was prob better off staying on his farm in the middle of nowhere Saskatchewan

Sports Events/Seasons: Suspended/postponed
Olympics: Postponed
Hollywood movies and most TV filming: Postponed

Vince: IT'S ALL ABOUT DA MONEY!

I think that's Ciampa

It's a good thing Braun cant get booed for shitting on the indy wrestlers trying to survive asking for donations

I would not be surprised if they made Cena/Fiend/Goldberg triple threat at this point.

Lol Cena wins

I mean, if they cant do shows til August why not

They don't have to film this match tonight either if they don't want to, regardless of the 11pm deadline. It can always be gimmicked and filmed offsite somewhere else like some of the other matches are.

You know what....CM Punk might actually be a real possibility this time.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">On Observer Radio this morning, Meltzer states Roman Reigns was at the Mania tapings but decided not to compete. The report states that The Miz showed up sick and it upset The Uso’s, which in turn upset Roman and led to him pulling out to protect his own health.</p>&mdash; WrestleChat (@WrestleChatNet) <a href="https://twitter.com/WrestleChatNet/status/1243491882224812032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 27, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

WrestleMania should have been canceled or moved later in the year. This is fucking stupid. I really dont want this company to go on anymore. I want Vince to go broke and everyone of his deals to fall apart.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reports that Miz and Lashley also did not work WrestleMania.

Next time on Miz & Mrs.: There won't be a next time.

Guy on reddit who broke the Roman story a few hours before Satin reports Edge also pulled out of Mania, along with Kevin Owens, Lashley, Usos and Miz/Morrison.

Who knows if true, guess we'll find out.

This is Zack Ryder's time to shine!!

I really love you sometimes

That was a lie.

I do and will always love you.

PWInsider reports Andrade is out of WrestleMania, due to a rib injury he suffered during RAW this past week.

You know what? WrestleMania is about to be interesting af. For real. A week ago I was like meh....now I'm hype af for this train wreck and seeing how they try to work themselves out of it.

John Pollock of PostWrestling reports Austin Theory from NXT replaced Andrade at WrestleMania

but ramon reigns signed a contract with goldberg is he allowed to legally break it like this

WrestlingInc reporting Asuka and Cesaro pulled from working Mania

Well duh, they dont want to die

Vince is pulling all Asians from Wrestlemania because they are Asian. No other reasons. He probably assumes they have the Kung Flu gene.

Vince will have no choice but to pull the plug soon....i applaud all the wrestlers for making the right decision

Wm will now be NXT!

Vince McMahon vs. God in a 2-day Iron Man Match

Lol they really need to just scrap airing this thing. Worst Mania ever

Wow @ Edge if true

What a disaster

Observer says that Edge vs. Orton was taped

https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/n...medium=twitter

Also Morrison will face one of the Usos in a ladder match instead of the tag match

Lmao I hope this shit show goes on. Just so we have it on tape.

Nobody would have blamed the company for canceling the event. Or co-branding it with Summerslam or Survivor Series.

Instead they’re gonna permanently have this mess of a show in the WM history book.

Vince and co. have handled this soo terribly. Even aew isnt that stupid

Vince McMahon was fully prepared to let an immunosuppressed Roman Reigns, not only continue to perform in a building with possibly asymptomatic carriers, but only pulled him out after a performer meant to wrestle two of his family members, turns up ill to the taping?

Absolutely crazy

Its trump level criminal

Its a disgrace to everything wm stood for

Nothing screams WM more than 1/2 the tag team champions vs The Uso on the Left

Its just comically sad now.

crazy times

Hundreds of people dying daily in the us right now, and vince thinks without half a roster he can still pull this off!? :n:

yeah i am looking forward to watching this it will be worth my 10 bucks

Yeup, they had plenty of chances to cancel or postpone the event to a possibly better date and conditions.

Instead, Vince's stubbornness got in the way like he's done with a lot of WWE's problems over the years.

He could getting 100 million new subscribers if he pays Alexa Bliss and Mandy Rose enough to tongue fuck the shit out of eachothers holes for the main event.

Meh, alexa fucking mandy with her huge schnoz would be more interesting

Will still be better than wrestlemania 9 !!! But aren't most of the matchs already taped ?

They should just totally cancel Wrestlemania and then 5 years from now on WWE network they could air WWE Wrestlemania 36 : the lost footage

Well despite this news getting out, WWE still have yet to announce any card changes on their website. █Next week’s shows were taped before Mania was taped so whether or not any matches were changed on camera would depend on what day the█performer backed out.

WrestleMania IX currently enjoying its final night as the most shat upon WrestleMania ever. Hell of a run.

Apparently Verizon Fios is charging almost $120 if you want to watch both nights of Mania on PPV.

Comcast is charging around $100 on their PPV service.

Lmao Vince's stubbornness now being shoved back in his face because the cable companies wanna overcharge for a 2 day shit fest of a WrestleMania lol.

:lol:

Surprised she made it as a "wrestler", with a nose like that i'm amazed she doesn't fucking strike oil every time she face plants.

Because he's a money grabbing fucking lunatic that needs tested for dementia.

I like WM 9

I think WM 11 and WM 27 are definitely 'the worst' IMO

I like 9, too. I just meant it seems to be considered by most the worst WM.

For now.

I just watch Mania 8, it's gotta be the best Mania before 17 easily, with 10 trailing 8.

Currently watching 15. This show was very underwhelming to me when I was 12.
It's 10x better now, why is this?

Is it the ECW effect? I wanted everything WWF did to be more like ECW at that time. So I thought it sucked because it wasn't "that cool". Plus obviously Hell in a Cell wasn't great. Now watching I just want to see WWF be WWF so I enjoy it a lot more now than when I was a kid.

I'll always love Warrior v. Hogan from VI


Remember being very young and invested in it.

It's epic. Really great WWF Championship match.

I watched every Mania from 20 to about 32, and yeah, 27 was easily my least favorite. A shit show from top to bottom except maybe for Cody and Rey.

No Roman actually adds value to the show.

As a WM it obviously wasn't the best when compared to some of the many quality WM events that came before and after it. At the same time, in hindsight and compared to some of the awfulness that occurred before and after it, it's still a damn solid PPV & WM.

I would have been surprised if Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan were to work WrestleMania.

I mean, Bryan I assumed would be for socially conscious reasons.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Triple H in an interview on SportsCenter basicly confirm's that Roman is out of Wrestlemania. <a href="https://t.co/1d4ovP8MwB">pic.twitter.com/1d4ovP8MwB</a></p>&mdash; Austin (@rondarouseyszn) <a href="https://twitter.com/rondarouseyszn/status/1244498191203979264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Might be a blessing in disguise for Reigns.

If he would have won without a crowd, there wouldn't have been anyone to shit on the win.

I hope Goldberg retains.

I was pretty pumped for WrestleMania, but this virus has kind of killed it. No fault of their own. And the whole Goldberg/Reigns thing didn't really do it for me. I would have preferred Goldberg/Cena and Reigns/Wyatt.

Reigns is apparently going to remain out for the duration of the COVID stuff. No telling when we see him again. Imagine if it's 18 months. Do ya'll think he'll get another super push if this lasts for awhile?

Or just not Goldberg at all tbh. He has not been impressive his last few matches.


"too many trips to the well" or something like that. They sat on their hands for decades failing to make any new stars, save Cena, and now are SOL.


Remember when WCW or TNA would get made fun of for the "old wwe guys".




yeah........


I also have zero money invested in this. I pay for a sub for a family member, who just pays me back, since they aren't tech saavy and would rather have me eff with it.

Long enough to hopefully ditch The Shield gimmick.

Not surprised to hear there have been people calling Roman names...lame af...let the man stay healthy, Jesus

That'll be enough time for him to rethink his life and follow the Rock into acting

If he doesn't then that would have meant WWE's assurances of nobody being punished or losing their spot/push was a blatant lie.

If he does end up being away for a very long time, sort of hope WWE brings back the Vince hobo army idea but with Reigns as the leader instead and him sporting a glorious bushy beard.

No it doesn't. It could be a timing issue or them just being tentative. He may not want a massive push and to carry the whole company at that point. There are plenty of reasons Roman returning in even two years wouldn't necessarily result in the whole company being restructured.

Yes it does considering ever since Smackdown's move to FOX, WWE was building him up to become the face of the brand by Mania. Might have not seemed as obvious at the time considering the never ending Corbin feud but it became a lot clearer what they were doing after that ended.

Regardless of how long Reigns is out, if they decide to not give him his push back then they lied about nobody being punished if they had to pull out due to illness or health concerns. Plus Vince has been trying for years to make Reigns his next mega star and not even him having leukemia stopped those plans.
