Roman Reigns pulling out of WrestleMania 36 due to health concerns was almost confirmed after 'The Big Dog' himself explained his decision to withdraw from his Universal title match against Goldberg. Even WWE CEO Triple H commented on the ongoing rumours and suggested the company is planning to make an announcement soon. On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, WWE finally addressed the elephant in the room by officially announcing that Hall of Famer Goldberg will defend his title against Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 36.

Triple H earlier stated that the company was looking for a 'unique way' to handle the Roman Reigns issue and try to preserve the hype for the title match.

Fans troll WWE for lacklustre announcement of Universal title match

Fans were excited for this week's episode of WWE SmackDown as it was expected that the company would conjure a storyline to explain Braun Strowman replacing Reigns. However, what fans got was just an announcement of the match with no mention or explanation of Reigns dropping out of WrestleMania 36.

Unsurprisingly, social media slammed WWE for their 'bland' Goldberg vs Braun Strowman announcement.
