In today's roundup, we take a look at the two WWE Superstars who are missing WrestleMania because of the Coronavirus outbreak. Adding to that, we also have Chavo Guerrero comparing a former WWE employee to Jeff hardy and the special plans for John Cena vs The Fiend Bray Wyatt.

Before we get to that, let us take a look at the two big headline makers of the day:

Title match at WrestleMania canceled

Rey Mysterio is in quarantine and will not be a part of WrestleMania this year. Wrestling Observer report that he was set to take on Andrade at the Show of Shows for the United States title, but that match has been canceled now.

This came out of nowhere. So it was, there were a lot of different ideas. Multiple different ideas for US title matches but from last week, the main idea if you watched last week’s show was probably going to be Andrade and Rey and Rey is also in quarantine, so he’s off the show. Yeah, you got to be safe rather than sorry for sure.

While Mysterio is not going be on the show, Andrade will be involved in a tag-team match with Angel Garza and taking on the RAW tag-team champions – The Street Profits.

Brock Lesnar changed script live on RAW

According to wwe news and rumors Drew McIntyre has revealed that Brock Lesnar changed the script live on RAW. The incident took place earlier this month when McIntyre delivered a Claymore Kick on the ramp the WWE Champion.

The Scottish Psychopath claimed that he was not supposed to pick the title in that segment, but Brock changed it because of the crowd's reaction.

"I was so into it! But I didn’t forget that, he [Brock] felt that in the moment and said ‘do it!’ The camera just picked it up, but that’s how much he’s invested in this. He made that call because he felt the crowd. No one sells like Brock Lesnar and two, feels a crowd like Brock Lesnar.

Dana Brooke was supposed to be in the six-pack elimination match at WrestleMania 36 for the SmackDown Women's title match. However, she has now been removed from it and the match will not become a five-woman match.

Wrestling Observer report that she is in quarantine now and hence will not be in the match.

Yes, Dana Brooke was in the match. She is now out of the match. She is in quarantine right now. They don’t want to take any chances and so yeah, they pulled her from the match because she is sick and you know, they are concerned. She is in quarantine.

WWE have decided not to replace her with another SmackDown women in the match. Instead, they are going ahead with the other 5 women who have already been announced.

This year's WrestleMania is set to be a two-night pay-per-view and will have two main events as well. Rumors say that there are going to be a total of 16 matches with 8 matches per night.

Drew McIntyre has credited Paul Heyman for his recent push and claimed that the advocate of Brock Lesnar went 'out of his way' to get things done. The Scottish Psychopath won the Royal Rumble this year and is set to take on Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36.

And he (Heyman) said whoever he needed to say it to: ‘Let this guy have an opportunity. Just give him a chance. Even if you don’t see him as a good guy, give him a chance. He might surprise you.’ And I think that’s what’s been happening – Paul going out of his way to make sure I get the opportunity to show who Drew McIntyre really is.

McIntyre has been on a roll lately and the WWE Universe is behind him right now. Heyman wants to take advantage of this situation and is pushing for McIntyre to be the face of RAW.

The #1 contender also claimed that Heyman was a fan of his since his days in 3MB.

Special plans for John Cena vs The Fiend Bray Wyatt

According to wwe latest news AJ Styles has challenged The Undertaker to a Boneyard match at WrestleMania 36 and it looks like that might not be the only match not taking place in the WWE Performance Centre. Reports suggest that John Cena vs 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt could be shot in a warehouse.

Gorilla Position report that it will get a 'full-blown movie treatment' and will have a unique look and feel. They also report that it was very much like the House of Horrors match.

Apparently John Cena VS The Fiend at #WrestleMania will get a full blown movie treatment with a unique look & feel; rumours suggest a match shot (on a closed set) in a warehouse, like House of Horrors.

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt challenged John Cena last month to a match at WrestleMania. Wyatt had just lost the WWE Universal title to Goldberg a day before and straight away went after Cena, who was in the arena to announce that he was not going to be at the Show of Shows.

Chavo Guerrero has compared former WWE employee Jimmy Jacobs to Jeff Hardy. He claimed that the former writer had a style of his own and was not like others. He used to walk to the beat of his own drum and did not mind being different, just like Jeff Hardy.

Chavo was on Wrestling Inc Daily when he heaped praise on the former writer who was fired. The two are going to work together in an upcoming drama series called KAYFABE.

"I didn't know Jimmy very much as we just crossed paths a couple of times. Working with him on this project… I like Jimmy because he walks to the beat of his own drum. I respect that and respect somebody that's comfortable in his own skin and doesn't mind being different. He's got his painted toenails and wears certain clothes. He's got his own style but it's also kinda Jeff Hardy-ish."

The former WWE tag-team champion is now working as a backstage producer and is enjoying it.
