They are not getting two of the most trusted names, this year. Roman Reigns and Triple H are these two names who were more than sure to deliver two marquee matches. But none of them would be available on the show.

This is why Wrestlemania planning might have to go through a lot of obstacles from a WWE perspective. They have to find suitable replacements for these two main event players. Plus, they will also have to ensure utilizing the regular roster members to set up some big matches. Recent reports hint a huge return is evident for the biggest event of the year.
Update on Triple H injury
The Rock seemed ready to feature in one of the marquee matches of Wrestlemania 35. He was already one of the rumored names to make a solid comeback at the showcase of immortals. Speculations were that The Rock vs. Roman Reigns could headline the show from the New York City. But Reigns’ hiatus changed the plans for sure.

Previously, the plan was to keep Roman Reigns as the Universal Champion until Wrestlemania. This was to ensure that this match happens on WWE programming. It is must-see for the fans considering they both have been franchise players of the WWE. The Rock would re-enter the scene just to put over his cousin at the grandest stage.
Previously, he did the same for John Cena, six years ago at Wrestlemania. In fact, it was the same venue where he featured in the main event scene for the final time. He was about to do that once again for his own bloodline. Unfortunately, Roman Reigns is out to cure Leukemia and will be unavailable for an indefinite time span.
Bobby Lashley could be a suitable replacement for Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. Currently, he is doing a good job as a heel on WWE Raw roster. Lio Rush has made his presence so much annoying that people automatically boo him at the top of their voice. If the negative reactions keep on continuing then we can surely expect to see him going against The Rock in a big match.
