WWE WrestleMania 36: 5 bold predictions that must happen

1.) Goldberg Retains The Universal Championship

Although Goldberg is scheduled to defend the Universal Championship against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 36, reports and rumors have surfaced of Roman Reigns getting replaced by Braun Strowman since his leukemia makes him more susceptible to the novel coronavirus and since Strowman has nothing else to do on the show of shows.

If this is the case, Goldberg should retain the Universal Championship. Considering that Braun Strowman recently lost a mid card championship (i.e. the Intercontinental Championship) to Sami Zayn at WWE Elimination Chamber 2020, he should not be in a main card championship match at WrestleMania 36.

From a logical booking standpoint, Braun Strowman winning the Universal Championship would not make any sense. Instead, the WWE should keep the Universal Championship on Goldberg until Roman Reigns returns for their championship match to take place later down the road.

Winning back the Universal Championship he never lost was a worthwhile journey for Roman Reigns and that moment should be saved for him, especially since his match was billed to be a Spear vs. Spear match.

Goldberg must retain the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 not only because it’s what’s best for business but also because it’s best for long-term booking.
