Before removing himself from the frame due to worries about the ongoing pandemic, Reigns was supposed to go head-to-head with Goldberg at WrestleMania 36. Although some will breathe a sigh of relief that the match never happened, they shouldn't - WWE booked Braun Strowman as Roman's replacement.

His Universal Title reign was awful, but there was a time when big Braun matching up against both babyfaces seemed like money. Back on the 2 January 2017 Raw, Strowman took a double spear from Roman and Goldberg that rocked the house in Tampa, Florida. No, honestly, people were fully behind Reigns and Bill temporarily coexisting.

They popped big.

WWE never replayed Braun's bump before this year's 'Mania (which seemed like a wasted opportunity for Strowman to vow revenge) and most probably don't even remember it. Maybe WWE themselves forgot it ever happened.
