Roman Reigns is arguably the biggest superstar, not only in the WWE but also in the entire professional wrestling industry, at the moment. Since his return to Summerslam in 2020, he has been on GOD Mode. On that night, he turned heel and aligned himself with Paul Heyman, a move that changed his career for good. He eventually went on to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion of the World.
Roman Reigns recently signed a new deal with the WWE that allows him to work limited deals. There have been reports all over the media outlets, claiming how the biggest marquee in the WWE calendar will be heading into a hiatus around this summer. Additionally, his working dates in the company will also become fewer via this new deal.

Roman Reigns was part of a non-title six-man tag match at WrestleMania Backlash, a couple of nights ago instead of putting any of the titles on the night. Previous reports claimed that Vince McMahon is saving Reigns’ first Undisputed WWE Universal title defense for a stadium show and hence it may only be planned around this summer.
