The reason - and it's an understandable one - is due to his concerns about the coronavirus and how it could threaten his immune system.
This is a genuine risk due to his previous battles with leukemia.
Dave Meltzer, on this morning's Wrestling Observer Radio, reports that Braun Strowman has replaced Reigns in the match that was recorded sometime over the past couple of days.
The match market has been taken off the board at one of the two sports betting firms that are still accepting wagers on the matchs.
Betway had Reigns at 1/10 and the Universal Champion at 19/4 last night. It is no longer available to bet on.
BetOnline's market is still up as of right now, but will surely be removed once the news reaches the company.
For what it's worth, and it isn't worth anything now, Reigns is listed as a -1,000 favourite and Goldberg is +550.
Reigns had opened at -800 to Goldberg's +425 on March 18th.
