Don't think they are mad at him. I think they want to keep him out of mind, so people don't ask "where did he go?"

Somebody better tell Carmella to update her Shield impression video and pixilate Roman too.

Like, even if it is just that...imagine if they did make people aware of what Roman was going through. Then they could use him to lead a campaign where people would wash their hands and take care of themselves since this virus affects people like him more than most. Would it be hypocritical considering everything else? Absolutely, but it might be a good way to get across all this to people in the target audience. Considering how many kids look up to Roman, him being the face of a campaign encouraging them to wash their hands and take care would work so much. True. But another guy has "THESE HANDS!" as a motto so clearly he has to do that now. (Half facetious, but half "they'd be bashing WWE if they hadn't done that and rightfully so")

So based on the editing of the match, one can only assume that Lesnar's opponent at Wrestlemania that year was Lesnar. Just imagining Brock beating himself up for 20 minutes in front of an audience that's been sitting there for 11 hours to that point. Still better than the year after when Triple H did the same thing. Brock:

Remember when Brock did an F5 on nothing? My favorite part of the match was when Seth hit the Curb Stomp on fat air & that's how he won the title.

At first, I was under the impression of Vince being petty Vince and doing this on purpose. But, I can also see Vince saying let's not show Roman so the fans will forget about him. That way even the crowd that hated Roman will cheer for him whenever he returns.

That way even the crowd that hated Roman will cheer for him whenever he returns. Except by doing so, he's drawing more and more attention to Roman not being there, so nobody's forgetting him. If that is his end goal, he's basically Streisand-Effecting it.

I feel like they're going to do Reigns dirty if they haven't already begun. And by that I mean talking like he's still important to his face but then as if he's a liability behind his back.
They need to be really careful. The PR they'd get from marginalizing a guy due to health concerns by way of cancer? Yikes. Especially when he's one of their top charitable figures.

If that is his end goal, he's basically Streisand-Effecting it. Basically. The right thing to do in the first place was just be honest and say why he hasn’t been there right when all this started. Talk about how the people who are there are doing it to “put smiles on people’s faces” or whatever but Roman’s history lead him to make the decision to take a break and not risk it. Thus leading to Roman talking about washing hands, looking after your loved ones and not being an asshole. It really isn’t the ideal solution to all this, brings up other questions in the process, but it all now comes off like he’s a person non grata because this company has a history of doing that really easily.

Back then, it took me a bottle of rum to get me the same effect of obliterating this from my existence.

Is this a joke or is WWE seriously trying to hide his existence while Romey is at home not wanting to die 'cause of essential WWE? I hope they did skip the pinning part just to make the video look more smooth. Brock is the most recent big boss (both Drew and Seth have pinned him), maybe they just want to have that in people's mind while they build McIntyre vs. Rollins match.

I can't wait to see them recap the debut of 'The Shield' Seth Rollins. When he ran out to the ring, then just sort of stood around the announcers table, which then broke for no discernible reason. All the while CM Punk pinned John Cena, who had just sort of fallen down.

I could be wrong, but haven’t WWE been trying to spin the story for a couple years now that Seth cashed in and beat Brock? I’d swear this isn’t the first time that video has aired making it seem like Seth beat Brock showing no Roman
