In a story more complicated than it appears, Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reported that Roman Reigns will not be part of this year’s WrestleMania due to the fact he is “immunocompromised from his battle with leukemia and didn’t want to risk his health.”
When Sports Illustrated asked about the report on Thursday night, a WWE spokesperson declined comment.
Multiple WWE performers confirmed to Sports Illustrated that Reigns is off the WrestleMania card.
Off the mat, Reigns is two-time cancer survivor Joe Anoa’i. This is where the story becomes complicated.
