#4. Hope is true: No heat for Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns pulling out of WrestleMania shortly before the tapings caused a bit of a creative scramble. Despite this, the consensus seems to be that Reigns made the right move and from the look of things, that seems to be what the backstage reaction was as well.

Moreover, WWE reportedly gave the option to all Superstars as to whether they wanted to perform at WrestleMania 36 or not. Tom Colohue told Korey Gunz on Dropkick DiSKussions that there's no heat on Roman Reigns for pulling out at the last minute:

What was Sabu really like? More info HERE.

There is no heat on Roman whatsoever, or at least there is no heat on Roman that is public, I don't mean to say that no one's come and said it publicly but in the background, there may be, but in many ways, you may encounter unconscious prejudice. So there may be in the future at some point, someone will think to themselves, 'Oh, we can't use roman because he is unreliable.' At the moment, everyone is in Roman's corner, they truly believe in him and think this is the right move for him.

We hope this is true because it would be a bad look for the company otherwise. Either way, it would be harsh to doubt them now since they've been very good to Roman Reigns about his health and time away from the ring.
