The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.
Roman Reigns Out Of Wrestlemania 36
One of the top matches of the Wrestlemania card has been changed. First reported by ProWrestlingSheet, Roman Reigns is out of his Wrestlemania match against Goldberg for the Universal Championship. Reigns, who recovered from leukemia in February 2019, is an immuno-compromised person due to his health status. Sources say Reigns was uncomfortable doing more Performance Center shows and didn’t want to risk his health.
How he will be replaced is unknown, but it appears the plan is for Goldberg to still defend the Universal Championship against someone. It was likely a difficult decision for Reigns, but respect to him for making a decision to keep himself and his family safe in these difficult times.
Brodie Lee Segment Upset WWE People?
A segment from Dynamite this week has apparently upset some folks within WWE. According to Wrestling Observer, Brodie Lee’s segment where he is having dinner with his Dark Order cronies made some folks “very upset” (h/t WrestlingInc). The segment pokes fun at Vince McMahon apparently needing to be the first person to eat and his hatred of sneezing. Check the full segment out for yourself:
What would you give to have dinner with The Exalted One @ThisBrodieLee..?

Rezar Undergoes Surgery
According to Wrestling Observer, Rezar of the Authors of Pain has undergone surgery for a torn bicep (h/t Fightful). Rezar suffered the injury earlier in the month, which will surely derail some of his planned push alongside Akam in Seth Rollins’ new stable. This is the second injury in under a year for the team, as Akam was out in 2019 with a leg injury. Hopefully a speedy recovery for the talented young bigman.
