Roman Reigns has been the top-most attraction in the WWE for the past three years and beyond. WWE wanted to establish him as the next Brock Lesnar and managed to succeed in a major way. Since unifying the WWE and Universal Titles at Wrestlemania 38 Night Two in April of 2022, The Head of the Table moved on to a part-timer’s schedule which essentially made him a marquee attraction of the company from then onward.
The Rock Reveals Scrapped Plans For WWE Wrestlemania 39 With Roman Reigns
WWE has been the Universal Champion since 2020 summer
Prior to moving to a limited schedule in the WWE, Roman Reigns used to be a workhorse in the WWE who used to wrestle more than anybody on a regular basis. Even during her run with the Universal Title, he was seen in regular matches through 2021 and beyond. While being a regular performer on TV, he did achieve something commendable.
Two years ago, this week in the summer of 2021, Roman Reigns was involved in a feud with Finn Balor on Smackdown while also attending Monday Night Raw to feature in a feud with The New Day. This eventually made him perform in six straight-up matches in just seven days, indicating how much the WWE has depended on him.

Unlike that timespan, The Tribal Chief barely wrestles on weekly free TV, these days. His one-off last match on Smackdown came in December 2022 while he last participated in a PLE in the main event of Summerslam 2023. The expectation is that we will get to see him, next at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
