Vince comes out and does stand-up for thirty minutes. Imitating Vince’s fake laugh: “Hahahahaha!” (Vince then tells a bunch of unfunny jokes.)

There'd be no main event, WrestleMania itself would be canceled. Or a two day Kid Rock concert instead.

Mania goes ahead, but they use wwe 2k23/wwe 2k24 for the Roman match with Roman being on a par with a created character and the opponent is a just bought the game level character with input lag, with no dq rules.

If it's a short-term injury then they would cancel the match and have the World Heavyweight Championship and the Raw Women's Championship main eventing each night. When Roman is ready to return his Mania defense against what is likely to be Cody will be at the next Saudi show and promoted as the "first overseas/Saudi Arabian Wrestlemania Main Event!"
If it is a (and it goes without saying we all hope this doesn't happen) long-term injury I could see them using the tournament route to crowd Roman's successor.
If Roman's challenger goes down then they probably have a list of potential understudies already.

After a lengthy hiatus where they allude to his injury, Jim Ross comes out and announces he has brought Roman Reigns back.
Out comes JT Dunn with a bunch of Samoan "tattoos" drawn on his body with a sharpie. The commentators cry foul, noting that this is not Roman Reigns. "Roman" then grabs the microphone and says in a Cuban accent "Say hello to the bad guy." which then prompts Glenn Jacobs dressed as Diesel to come out and states that Roman would never say that. As Jacobs is leaving, Shawn Michaels comes out and casually says "May 19th" which sends Jacobs on a tear as he exits through the curtain. While Shawn is randomly dancing for no reason, out comes Roman's challenger, Cody Rhodes.
Cody gets in the ring and immediately lays down. "Roman" covers him and the ref counts to 3. Out comes Bret Hart who says this will not happen and tells the ref to restart the match. After the match is restarted, Cody puts "Roman" in a phantom Sharpshooter and Bret calls for the bell.
Cody and "Roman" both walk to the back together, passing by a still dancing Shawn Michaels. Bret then grabs a mic, a folding chair and a newspaper, gets in the ring and has a seat. He spends the next 45 minutes providing meandering criticisms about the state of today's Sunday comics, reading each comic and providing commentary on why each was not funny or how it didn't make any sense. The show goes off the air while he's in mid sentence without and resolution on the manner, and it's not mentioned whatsoever the next night on Raw.

Roman gets wheeled to the ring. Cody runs into his fist. Roman pins him.
The end.

Why, obviously, Seth and his totally legit 'world' title would main event instead!

I think they'd pay Stone Cold like 20 million to wrestle again in this scenario.

If Roman was capable of taking even a single bump I think they'd Goldberg/Brock Survivor Series 2016 it. Bell rings, Roman goes for spear, babyface evades, hits finisher and wins. Wouldn't be a satisfying way to end such a title reign but at least it's a pinfall instead of vacating the title.
If it's something completely debilitating and he absolutely cannot work even a short match and is expected to be out for a long time then I think Rhea/Becky would main event night 1 and night 2 would be Seth/Punk/Cody for both Seth's World title and Roman's vacated title.

Roman tells Paul Heyman "DON'T LET THEM TAKE MY TITLE AWAY!" While being loaded onto an ambulance and Heyman ends up filling in vs Cody.

Jimmmy Uso will take over as the Tribal Chief and it's going to be him defending the titles against Cody Rhodes. The only way I see Jimmy in 1 on 1 Wrestlemania main event/world title match is against Jey. For Roman being injuried senerio, I see one of 2 possibilities... 1. IF he is too injuried to show up, title is vacated and tournament is held leading up to Wrestlemania. The finalist are Cody Rhodes vs Gunther (rehash of their Finale this past Royal Rumble AND teasing Gunther being Double/Triple champion). 2. Roman vs Cody takes place, but Cody catches Roman off guard and pins him within 30 seconds after a crossroads.

Joking aside, if Roman were unable to compete then WWE would 100% do the interim champion thing. They’re not going to have the longest title reign in like 35 years end without Roman putting somebody over at the end of it.

If Roman gets injured the main event will be a live feed of Roman sitting at home recovering.

Injured doing what? Chances are he’s gonna have all of one match before Mania, and that’ll be like 3 months before the event. Tribal Chief of taking the bins out

For real, unless his leukemia flares back up or there's another pandemic, he might have a match at the Rumble and that'll be the only real risk Roman will have of getting hurt in a wrestling ring.
