Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 and will not perform in Saturday's WWE Day 1 against Brock Lesnar, he announced on Twitter.
“I yearn to perform tonight at #WWEDay1 to defend my Universal Championship,” Reigns said. “However, unfortunately, earlier today I tested positive for COVID-19. Due to the proper protocols I am unable to compete as originally scheduled. I look forward to returning to action as soon as possible.”
Reigns, a cancer survivor, was slated to defend his title on WWE's Day 1 pay-per-view in Atlanta. Lesnar was hoping to get another chance at the title after an outside interference caused him to lose to Reigns at Crown Jewel back in October.
