As noted a few days ago, it was rumored that WWE made some changes to their planned match card at Wrestlemania 36. It was first reported by Dave Meltzer that the company was no longer planning Roman Reigns vs The Fiend or John Cena vs Elias for the event.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer provided an update on the new matches that WWE is planning for both Cena and Reigns.
According to Meltzer, WWE is planning Roman Reigns vs Goldberg for Wrestlemania 36. The Fiend vs John Cena is also now the plan for the event.
Here is what Meltzer said (transcript via Sportskeeda):
Dave Meltzer: So the top two SmackDown matches are going to be Bill Goldberg against Roman Reigns, so Bill Goldberg is on WrestleMania now, and John Cena against Bray Wyatt. A lot of people kind of thought when they made the change, this kind of felt like logical changes, and in fact, that’s what they are. I don’t know if that 100 per cent means that Goldberg is winning.
Bryan Alvarez: Well, I think it’s clear that either Goldberg wins, or John Cena is challenging for the title.
Meltzer: Or John Cena wins the Elimination Chamber.
Alvarez: Yes.
Meltzer: Because the Elimination Chamber match is going to determine who faces the Champion. So most likely, Bill Goldberg wins and Roman Reigns wins the Chamber, or if Bray Wyatt somehow retains the title then John Cena is going to end up in the Chamber match, unless they change everything again. But, you know, that would be the deal.
