Ultimately, Reigns said he wasn&#8217;t concerned and that he was happy with the safety precautions being taken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think with all the safety protocols that we\u2019ve established since I came back, with all the precautions that we take to make sure I\u2019m isolated to where I\u2019m not heavily interacting with anyone outside of the people that I\u2019m actually in the ring with, all the way to the weekly testing, I don\u2019t think WrestleMania is going to be any different. You know, our safety precautions are second to none,&#8221; Reigns said. &#8220;We\u2019ll have the pods to create the social distancing, and masks will be required. We will be giving out masks for those who are forgetful. We\u2019ll have, I believe, cashless concessions, so we\u2019re going to create an opportunity where everybody\u2019s gonna be as safe as they could be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roman Reigns took a five month hiatus from WWE at the start of the pandemic in March of 2020. He returned to the company at Summerslam last year. At this year&#8217;s WrestleMania, Reigns will face Daniel Bryan and Edge for the WWE Universal Championship on night two.<\/p>\n<p>*Special thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrestlinginc.com\/news\/2021\/04\/roman-reigns-on-if-hes-concerned-about-covid-19-with-fans-being-at-wrestlemania-37\/\">Wrestling Inc<\/a> for the transcription*<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/04\/01\/wwe-news-wwe-to-report-first-quarter-earnings-for-2021-lineup-announced-for-april-9-smackdown-ahead-of-wm-weekend\/\">WWE News: WWE to report first quarter earnings for 2021, lineup announced for April 9 Smackdown ahead of WM weekend<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2067401810\"><div id=\"pwtor-3277416296\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WrestleMania 37 will mark the return of fans to WWE wrestling shows since the COVID-19 pandemic began last year.
