In addition to Roman Reigns, The Miz did not compete during the Wrestlemania 36 tapings on Wednesday and Thursday. Mike Johnson of
PWInsider.com noted the following:
"Multiple source have confirmed that WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion The Miz did not work Wrestlemania 36. Miz was in Orlando this week, but did not work the tapings."
The Miz and John Morrison were scheduled to defend the Smackdown tag team titles against either The New Day or The Usos.
Dave Meltzer of
F4WOnline.com noted the following regarding The Miz apparently playing a role in Roman Reigns deciding to not participate in the match with Bill Goldberg:
“It was interesting because he [Reigns] was there and he made the call and it had to do in some form with Miz being sick and the Usos not being happy about it. I don’t know much else, but that’s all I was told. You know it’s a weird story because if you followed it because basic logic was that he should have stayed home. Everyone’s got a risk, but his risk was high — his reward was high too, but his risk was really high too. For a guy who has kids… it was his decision, but that decision shouldn’t have been put on him.”
