With the coronavirus pandemic spreading the way it has, WWE has had to keep the health of the talent as the utmost priority. Roman Reigns, who was scheduled to face Goldberg for the Universal Championship, had to pull out of WrestleMania 36 relatively late due to health concerns.

He reportedly wasn't feeling too well during the live tapings and given his history with leukemia, he belongs to the category of people more vulnerable to the coronavirus. It was reported that WWE had given the talent an option to withdraw from the card and it was revealed that Dana Brooke was quarantined and so was Rey Mysterio - both of whom were supposed to be in title matches.

Andrade was then replaced by Austin Theory at the last minute and it seemed to go down south for them. The SmackDown Tag Team Championships match saw Miz allegedly pull out and from what we hear, the titles were defended in a non-tag team match. This is just an outright bizarre situation with many changes.
