Goldberg and Roman Reigns were going to meet at WrestleMania 36 for the Universal Championship. That was WWE's original plan, which was forced to change due to Reigns' decision to leave the Performance Center and return home. This occurred when another superstar allegedly had coronavirus symptoms. Due to the leukemia problem, The Big Dog decided not to participate in the WrestleMania fight and Braun Strowman took his place. However, the fight was about to take place. Goldberg confirmed this this week in an interview for Carcast. "I would go to Orlando, record, come back and quarantine. It was just like 'Groundhog Day'. Obviously, I had a change of opponents at the last minute. Everyone knows that Roman Reigns has leukemia. I don't know why he was considered at first, WWE invested the money in angle and combat. So literally, until less than 23 hours earlier, it was still a possibility that he and I fought. Plans changed at the last minute. I did my combat with Braun Strowman, but it was possible to do a match with Roman before April 5, that obviously failed. " "We went to the WWE Performance Center and they took our temperatures when we entered, the place was scrubbed from top to bottom, there was a limited number of people allowed inside and outside the building. It was very controlled. I think what happened was that someone was sick and Roman heard about it. He just had the flu, but the fact that someone was sick under those circumstances couldn't be allowed. However, you have to love the boy (Roman) because until the last moment he was still willing to fight me " Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman "I had never fought Braun before this story. We had no leads on each other, we took control at that moment. The Roman thing was not a made-up story, but the reality. Braun had no idea that he was going to have that fight Neither do I. But, you know, in this business, you have to learn to roll with the punches. You have to satiate everyone. You have to take all that into account at the same time."
