Roman Reigns slated for a hiatus after Wrestlemania 40 PLE
Going by his usual schedule, Roman Reigns is expected to take some time off following WrestleMania 40. Fans shouldn’t expect to see him on WWE programming until the next Saudi Arabia show arrives rumored for May 25th. Or else, he could be going on a hiatus until the SummerSlam event set for August 3rd in Cleveland. Here’s more from the reports of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter,
“I don’t think anyone believes Roman Reigns would retire with a loss, and WWE has taught fans not to believe it, but given his schedule, it’s probable he’d take some time off. Given his limited schedule, one wouldn’t even expect him on a show again until the as yet unannounced next Saudi Arabia show (last word being on 5/25) and the 8/3 SummerSlam show in Cleveland.”
