Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet is reporting that Roman Reigns has pulled out of his WrestleMania Universal Title match against Bill Goldberg due to his concerns over the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Satin reported:
Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us Reigns expressed to WWE that he didn’t feel comfortable doing anymore of the Performance Center shows during the coronavirus pandemic because he’s immunocompromised from his battle with leukemia and didn’t want to risk his health.
We’re told WWE honored his request and he will now be replaced by someone else in the match against Goldberg, though it’s unclear who at this time.
Given that Satin works with WWE on their FOX show, I think it's fair to say he wouldn't have reported this if it wasn't true. Personally, I have nothing but respect for Reigns and the decision he made. If I were in his position, I would have done the same thing.
