‘- Only a few months ago, The Shield reunited on RAW and looked to be stronger than ever. In such a short time, everything has changed. In one night, the group folded. RAW started with Roman Reigns announcing his battle with leukemia had returned and he was vacating the Universal Championship as he will be out for an unknown amount of time. Later in the evening, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose would win the RAW Tag Team Championships, only for Ambrose to turn on his brother minutes after the match ended.
When asked on Twitter about the original plan for Reigns heading into WrestleMania 35, Dave Meltzer noted how Ambrose was set to wrestle him. Meltzer did not state if it would have been for a title.

That match is certainly off the table as we still do not if Reigns will able to return to in-ring action. He has been spotted occasionally at a college football game, fans signing event and even filmed a part in The Rock’s new movie Hobbs & Shaw. Ambrose opted to not re-sign with WWE and will leave once his contract expires in April, which means he might not even be booked for WrestleMania 35.
In WWE, plans are always changing and the company must adjustment.
– Brock Lesnar will not be working the Elimination Chamber nor Fastlane, which are the final pay per views before WrestleMania 35. He has also been removed from the February 18 and 25 episodes of RAW. As of now, the Universal Champion is only scheduled for the March 18 RAW from Chicago.
“The Beast” could and probably will be added to a few more shows before he takes on Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35. He should at least appear during the final RAW (April 1) before the big show. At the Royal Rumble, Lesnar was able to keep his title by submitting Finn Balor. He appeared the next night on RAW, where he destroyed Rollins with six F5s to close the show.
