WWE Rumor Roundup - Brock Lesnar's medical condition, coronavirus test results revealed, concern about Goldberg and the title - 3rd March 2020

#2. Is there backstage heat on Roman Reigns?

Roman Reigns' decision to miss WrestleMania was taken to safeguard his health and at the end of the day, it was the right call from The Big Dog. However, it has brought about a few unfavorable changes to one of the main events of WrestleMania, in which Goldberg is now expected to take on Braun Strowman for the Universal Championship.

Was Reigns on the receiving end of some unwanted backstage heat for his last-minute decision?

Tom Colohue revealed that there is no heat on Roman Reigns whatsoever and that everyone supports him to the fullest behind the scenes.

Tom stated the following:

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.

Roman Reigns' return may take a long time as WWE should ideally not get him back until coronavirus is a thing of the past.
