It should be noted that despite Rollins cashing in on Brock Lesnar, it was Roman Reigns who got pinned in the match. But still, he was nowhere to be found in the video package.
WWE’s quick replay of the cash-in moment did not have any mention of The Big Dog, at all. This means one thing and that is, the top officials of the company including Vince McMahon isn’t happy with the franchise player of the company.

As noted earlier, WWE officials recently issued a verbal order which instructed that Roman Reigns won’t be mentioned on WWE TV, right now. No reason was given behind this but as we’ve seen, Roman Reigns wasn’t mentioned on TV since backing out of the WrestleMania 36 main event due to concerns over coronavirus pandemic.

It’s also unknown when he will be back in action. The rumors have it could be several months before we see the four-time world champion back in the seen depending on how the Coronavirus situation remains in the weeks.

Triple H said the following about Roman Reigns pulling out of Wrestlemania 36 during an interview with ESPN SportsCenter,
“WWE, I think our talent, our staff, our crew -that probably now more than ever, entertainment for people is a necessity,” Triple H said (H/T to CagesideSeats). “And them having something that they can tune into, forget about everything that’s going on or what they have happening in their lives or not being able to leave their house, or whatever it is, and just tune out for a few hours, tune into something that’s just fantastical, and just forget about it all. And we feel not only the need to do that but sort of the obligation to do that for people.”
