Page 2 - WWE Rumor Roundup - Vince McMahon changed his mind about Goldberg, Big PPV match featuring Roman Reigns cancelled

#4. Superstars surprised over the cancellation of Elimination Chamber match which Roman Reigns was supposed to win

The upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV was originally advertised to have a big six-man Chamber match to determine the #1 contender for the Universal Championship, and Roman Reigns was reportedly picked to be the winner of the match.

However, Vince McMahon changed the plans in a big way and decided to let Goldberg go over The Fiend and book Reigns in an angle against the former WCW Champion.

The Elimination Chamber match, which was slated to have Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler, King Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura, was nixed as WWE had already reached the intended destination, which was to have Reigns vs. Goldberg at WrestleMania.

Tom Colohue revealed on the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that the Superstars who were scheduled to be in the match were surprised by WWE's decision as they already knew their roles in the match.

First and foremost, it wasn't just a surprise for the fans, it was also a surprise to some of the wrestlers who were going to be in that match. It was not formally announced but the people who were going to be in that match were aware it was supposed to be happening and were aware of how they were going to be used. So it was a surprise to a lot of the individuals there.
