WWE 'Friday Night SmackDown' Results: Roman Reigns' WrestleMania Replacement Could Be Announced

On the eve of the next episode of Friday Night SmackDown, it was reported that Roman Reigns will miss WrestleMania 36 due to health concerns revolving around the coronavirus.

While the WWE has declined to comment on the report, tonight's episode of Friday Night SmackDown will likely address the change and who will take on Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania.

There's just two more SmackDown before the "Showcase of the Immortals" so any last-minute changes or match additions to the card will likely come tonight.

So far, the matches on the SmackDown side include the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match between Miz and John Morrison and the winner of tonight's bout between The Usos and The New Day.

Miz and Morrison were able to defeat both The New Day and The Usos at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, but will their luck run out at WrestleMania?

"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt will look to get revenge against John Cena for his loss at WrestleMania 30 and the build continues tonight with a new episode of the Firefly Fun House. What will Wyatt have to say to Cena less than two weeks before their fated clash at WrestleMania?

Alexa Bliss has been looking for Asuka for weeks so she and Nikki Cross can challenge The Kabuki Warriors for the Women's Tag Team Championships. The two will clash one-on-one tonight.

Drew Gulak will take on Shinsuke Nakamura and if the former Cruiserweight Champion wins, Daniel Bryan will get an Intercontinental Championship opportunity against Sami Zayn at WrestleMania.

A lot is expected to go down tonight and here's everything that happened on the March 27 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
