Heading into Wrestlemania Backlash 2022, Roman Reigns sent the professional wrestling world into a frenzy after speaking up about his future. During a promo following a live event in Trenton, New Jersey over the weekend, he told the fans in attendance that he may not come back there after the event and that it’s perhaps the time for her to enter a ‘new phase’ in his career.
Later, reports claimed that Roman Reigns wasn’t going anywhere leaving the WWE but the fact is that he may opt to work in a limited schedule in the coming days.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the situation and made it clear that the top superstar is not leaving WWE, but there is a new contract involved in the scene via which he will only work in a handful number of house shows.
“It’s not it for him, but the situation is that he got a new deal and the new deal is for far less dates. So, he’s not going to do be doing — I don’t know how many house shows he’ll be doing, but it’s going to be far less house shows than he is doing now.” (transcription by Ringside News)

Roman Reigns could be off to work in Hollywood
Roman Reigns signed a multi-year contract with WWE back in August of 2019 and there was no update on the expiry date of the deal. Being the poster boy of the company, his deal gets extended on a regular basis and that could be the case on the latest occasion.
His latest appearance came at WWE WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view where RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro and Drew McIntyre came up short against the SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos and Reigns in non-title six-man action.
While Roman Reigns isn’t immediately moving anywhere else, leaving WWE for good, there could be some moves for him outside the WWE. During a recent interview with The Michael Kay Show, he admitted that he does have an interest in transitioning into Hollywood. He is hoping to use the acting experience he learned from the wrestling ring, to help his potential career in movie ventures.
“We will have to see. I think there’s going to be some moves made here pretty soon,” Roman Reigns admitted in the interview. “There’s always speculation and contract talks, all that question of it is my business. People who can dive deep enough, I’m sure they can turn enough stones to figure out the timeframe.”
