Stephanie McMahon was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, she spoke about Wrestlemania 36 moving forward during the coronavirus pandemic.
She ended up speaking about Roman Reigns. She was asked if there is backstage support for Roman’s decision to pull out of Wrestlemania 36.
Here is what Stephanie said:
“With all of our superstars, it really is a voluntary basis. It’s not my place to give his personal situation, but we support our superstars. We support their personal opinions and concerns, and again, this is all voluntary. Especially when you have a talent or a performer with pre-existing conditions, or whatever the reason might be. If someone is uncomfortable, we will absolutely honor that.
“We want our talent to perform at WrestleMania, but only if they’re comfortable. Regardless of their reasons, they have to be comfortable. It has to be something they want to do. We absolutely support all of our superstars and their decision of whether or not to perform, especially at this time.”
Stephanie also hinted that WWE fans will find out on Smackdown how Reigns is going to be pulled from Wrestlemania 36 (in terms of the storyline):
“Those are questions you’re going to have to wait and see how we handle creatively,”
