They go all in on the butter up to Gronk tour and give us Universal Champion Mojo Rawley.

I'd build Mania like they build boxing. Give them three months of build. Use historic clips for shows. Dont do Mania at the Performance Center They have to keep USA and FOX happy too. And what if they can’t run shows still 3-4 months from now? This is pretty much it. Same reason why AEW still doing Dynamite as well. They are both lucky they have an venue to do this in. How long is a good question with the regulations.

Also, whoever they chose, they chose already because they taped WrestleMania yesterday.

Sucks for Roman to call an audible but given his health and the global pandemic, I don't blame him. Now the question is if they make John Cena vs. The Fiend a #1 Contenders match to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Title?

Wonder what changed his mind, I mean he was taping stuff for the match last week. Weird. I’m pretty sure that we all knew that stuff was still going to be messed up come WM.
Regardless, dude definitely needs to stay away from all but his family considering his health issues the last few years.

Braun is the perfect replacement. Could be a big moment for him too. That is a... pretty genuinely awful idea right now. I don't know how on earth they could give the belt to Braun after what he's been saying lately and not just piss everybody off. Plus, I like it when Braun fails. Just saying.

This match should have never been booked in the first place and looked awful to start with.
I don't blame Roman for forgoing it and not taking the risk. I know it's circumstances that are largely out of their hands, but WWE should have never put the belt on Goldberg and put them into this corner to start with booking wise too, now they're kind of screwed.
That was by all accounts one of their big marquee matches. Don't know what they can do now, if anything, to rectify this. Who takes the belt from Goldberg with a weeks notice of build?? This is also the problem you have when you constantly sacrifice your roster for like one to two guys at a time and that's it.

I can’t f***ing believe they thought about putting him in that position to begin with. Like I said in the thread about Mania getting moved to the PC with no audience THAT STILL ISNT SAFE FOR THE WRESTLERS. With how contagious this shit is it’s VERY likely someone affiliated with WWE has it and is asymptomatic. This shit needs to get shut down yesterday.

Apparently word going around from Meltzer is that Roman's not the only one being pulled and a few other wrestlers on the card either didn't feel comfortable or have been feeling sick, so more changes are coming.

An idea I'm seeing kicked around is Cena vs Fiend is made a number one contenders match and then night two the winner faces Goldberg
So basically just cut your losses and let The Fiend get double revenge to close Mania, then at least you can salvage this and have it make sense
If it's some dumb bullshit like Strowman you're gonna see maybe some of the biggest negative blowback from wrestling fans period considering how un-pushed he is and his recent comments. So yeah... I hope that's not even an option.

I want it to be Braun as that would be actually entertaining big time feeling match, no matter what. I'll be happy if it's Baron Corbin, ' would LIV LIFE to the fullest if he happened to beat Goldberg! It's so WWE. I would so'oh watch all the aftermess and jump on that bandwagon instantly without thinking one second.

Honestly there was a pretty weird and frightening danger that Roman gets the virus in the midst of all this and Vince ends up going full Howard Hughes over 'killing' Roman so yeah this is definitely for the better of everyone.
