Roman Reigns didn’t work WrestleMania 36 as per the original schedule where he was set to face Goldberg over the Universal Championship. He went home instead after learning that The Miz was feeling sick which was a symptom of being tested positive to coronavirus. Braun Strowman stepped in to capture his place and face Goldberg for the Universal Title. He became the new champion whereas WWE’s Big Dog went into a hiatus.
As per the recent updates from media outlets and his social media accounts, Roman Reigns is still at home spending time in full quarantine mode. He’s not intending to come back to work yet, but WWE isn’t depressed with him for making that decision. However, it’s a fact this creates a difficult situation for WWE to go forward without him for a bigger timespan as he’s the franchise player of the company.
No momentum has been noted toward Roman Reigns coming back to the squared circle, as of now. He showed eagerness to make a return as soon as the coronavirus pandemic gets over, but that won’t be happening anytime soon. Ringsidenews.com reports that there is no talk is going on around the former Universal Champion being a part of WWE’s SummerSlam plans. His name hasn’t appeared backstage creative perspective for a long time.
