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

#5 Saves Roman Reigns’ Championship match for the live audience

This feud is important Reigns' journey back to the top

As mentioned previously in this article, Roman Reigns fought a long battle to find himself back inside the squared circle. Following that, he spent a considerable amount of time outside the title picture until his Championship feud began with Goldberg. There are two main reasons why WWE would not mind saving this match for a show with a live audience.

The first reason is the Champion himself. Goldberg defeated ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt at WWE Super ShowDown to become the Universal Champion and this booking fetched a lot of heat from the fans.

On the other hand, they were not very pleased with the decision of having Reigns challenge Goldberg for a title without Bray Wyatt getting his rematch. Despite that, people are in favor of the ‘Big Dog’ winning the title which brings me to my second reason.

This time Reigns' push to the top has seemed more organic as compared to the previous attempts of the creative. He may not be the overall favorite for the title but he will definitely be the preferred winner of his ‘Spear vs Spear’ match against Goldberg.

Hence, WWE would want the poster boy of their company to lift his title by beating a disliked heel while enjoying a natural push – something that we don’t get to see quite often.
