Reigns pulled out from WrestleMania 36

Reigns decided to skip WrestleMania due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic.

The Big Dog has had a long battle with Leukemia and returned to action before WrestleMania 35. Due to his compromised immune system, Reigns chose not to take any chances in this year’s event.

Reigns was diagnosed with Leukaemia at age 22. Now 34, Reigns stepped away from wrestling in October 2018 because the disease had returned.

He made his comeback to the ring after he announced the cancer’s remission in February 2019. He was set to face Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36, but the Big Dog was replaced by Braun Strowman.
