5 Reasons why Roman Reigns is right in allegedly pulling out of WrestleMania 36

#3 Might encourage other Superstars to follow his suit

As of this writing, the United States of America has confirmed that they have over 85000 cases of coronavirus in the country. The situation is not any more encouraging in other parts of the world either. Most of the countries have decided to go under lockdown for a few weeks as a necessary step in tackling the spread of Covid-19.

This has resulted in the cancelation of major sporting events across all sports including Cricket, Football, F1, etc. Even the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been postponed and rescheduled for next year.

However, WWE will continue with all their scheduled events without the fans in the arena. While the promotion’s intention of keeping the show on for the entertainment of its fans seemed right in the beginning, the risk has increased by manifolds now.

Even without the fans in the audience, there will be enough people inside the Performance Centre who could infect others or get infected by someone else. This global crisis has caused the entire world to maintain distance from other individuals – something that WWE must adopt at this point. After all, the safety of the roster should be more important than the show.
