Now why did it take them this long?
It’s another match that hasn’t been announced yet, even though Roman Reigns himself has already announced that he won’t be wrestling on the show due to health concerns. There is nothing wrong with that whatsoever, but there is something wrong with WWE advertising him up until the night before WrestleMania when they know he won’t be there. There isn’t time for a tweet, a website article, a voiceover? Not a single thing in all that TV time they have to fill?
I keep thinking that this should be a layup answer, but then I can’t decide which one is the layup. In theory it should be obvious that Goldberg loses and goes back to whatever he does when he isn’t on another WWE run but the idea of Strowman actually winning the title doesn’t seem possible. They have had so many chances to do it before and I’m not sure I can picture it happening here. I’ll go with Strowman, but I won’t believe it until I see it.
Ya, if WWE is shutting down for a while after Mania, it makes more sense for Goldberg to win and have the match with Reigns at SummerSlam.
I don’t see Stowman winning the title here as he was thrown into this match with a 10 second thowaway comment and no billdup despite the fact that you know it’s WRESTLEMANIA AND 1 OF THE BIGGEST TITLE MATCHES OF THE YEAR! The fact that he was put in at the very last minute means that you surely can’t justifiy Stowman winning Now if he was put in as soon as Roman said he couldn’t go it whoud be a different story.
