Roman Reigns is out of action from WWE programming for the past couple of months. It’s a tragedy that he had to leave Monday Night Raw creating one of the most emotional moments of all-time. He is battling Leukemia from 22 years of age that resided in remission for the past 11 years. But now it’s back putting his life in danger. So he had to start treatment to cure this.
Seth Rollins gave an update on Roman Reigns
Currently, there’s no timeline available regarding the return of Roman Reigns on Monday Night Raw. This kind of life-threatening disease takes a lot of time to heal up in the first place. Coming back to a match-fit condition would take even longer timespan. We should not expect Roman Reigns to be back around entire 2019.
WWE.com also gave a big hint regarding the same when they removed Roman Reigns from the poster of Monday Night Raw. Seth Rollins replaced him from being the centerpiece of attraction. It indicates that the franchise player of the WWE will not available on the programming to a long extent.
This automatically rules him out of the Wrestlemania context, as well. But WWE official might be very desperate to use him at the grandest stage of them all. They have a backup plan in mind for the poster boy of the company so that he can be out on the scene in some capacity. He may come out once the main event concludes.
What was the original Wrestlemania 35 plan for Roman Reigns?
As per the reports of The Dirty Sheets Podcast, the current plan is letting The Big Dog” Roman Reigns to make an appearance and congratulate his Shield-brother Seth Rollins. One of the main events of Wrestlemania 35 will take place where The Architect will challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.
The plans can change depending on how Vince McMahon thinks about the main event of Wrestlemania 35. Here’s more on this from wwfoldschool.com,
“However, this WrestleMania 35 plan for Reigns can change if Vince McMahon changes his mind regarding Rollins vs. Lesnar as Rollins’ match with Dean Ambrose at TLC 2018 (which WWE officials thought was a major match) was a flop and had fans chanting ‘This Is Boring.'”
However, the good thing is that Seth Rollins has dropped the Intercontinental Championship belt to Dean Ambrose. It hints his next step on the main event spot. There is not any other established name on the Monday Night Raw roster who can challenge the beast incarnate at Wrestlemania apart from Braun Strowman. Since Strowman is getting the title match at Royal Rumble, Rollins will be the only name left to become the opponent for the Universal Champion.
