WWE fans haven’t seen Roman Reigns on TV for several weeks now and may not be seeing him for weeks to follow amid the coronavirus outbreak. While neither WWE nor he himself provided any updates on his recent condition, we can only predict that he is doing okay with his family. A recently shared Instagram story also suggests the same.
The Rock Is Positive On Having Dream Match Against Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns recently posted the first Instagram story since bacillus out of WrestleMania 36 to give hints about what he’s up to during these isolation days. He didn’t say anything, but the look on his face was suggesting that he’s in a happy mode enjoying time with his family. It appears that The Big Dog was just sharing a glimpse of his day from poolside with family by his side.
It should be noted the Roman Reigns will soon be becoming a father with his wife, shortly meaning the upcoming months are going to be pretty more interesting for him and his family. With that being said, Roman Reigns is nowhere near to be back on TV who is in the middle of a long hiatus.
It was already reported that WWE officials recently issued an edict to not mention Roman Reigns on WWE TV right now. No concrete reason was provided for this must have to do something since backing out of the WrestleMania 36 match with WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg due to concerns over coronavirus pandemic as his battles with leukemia left him in an immunocompromised state.
Following that, WWE even edited him out of WrestleMania 31 footage where Seth Rollins cashed in Money In The Bank briefcase to pin Roman Reigns and win the WWE Championship. But WWE intentionally trimmed down Reigns from the entire video package.

In a follow-up update by the source, Observer reported that the reaction by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon regarding Roman Reigns and how to handle the situation “changes daily based on which way the wind is blowing,” according to a source close to the situation.
This is why Roman Reigns was shown pinning Triple H during a WrestleMania replay on SmackDown. But then he was edited out of WrestleMania 31 replay on RAW, and also the latest Make-A-Wish video package.
