Roman Reigns was supposed to face Goldberg for the Universal Championship in one of the marquee matches at WrestleMania 36.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Roman Reigns opted not to perform at the event, which meant Braun Strowman took his place and ended up winning the title from Goldberg instead.

Speaking to Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin at an event to promote WrestleMania 37, Roman Reigns reiterated that he favored a match with “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt over Goldberg.

“I would much rather face The Fiend. He’s busted his a** all year long for it. No offense to Goldberg, I think he’s a great performer, he’s a great Superstar, but I’m into the future right now.”

As of the time of writing, Roman Reigns has not yet returned to WWE programming and it is unclear if the match with Goldberg will take place at a later date.

Goldberg’s match at WrestleMania 36 only lasted four minutes, with Strowman pinning him after a running powerslam, and the WWE Hall of Famer has not been seen on WWE television since.
