Speculations around Roman Reigns and his upcoming hiatus from WWE remain a point of discussion for all professional wrestling fans. This all started with a promo during a live event in Trenton, New Jersey where the superstar himself mentioned how he’d soon be entering a new phase in his career and thereby possibly be making fewer appearances on TV and house shows.
Moving forward, it was pointed out by outlets how Roman Reigns wasn’t advertised for any of the TV shows of the WWE following June. Now, it appears that he will be working television for most of the weeks leading into the WWE SummerSlam premium live event set for late July.
