Roman Reigns purposely stepped away from TV after WrestleMania 41, in which he faced off against two other legends of the caliber of Seth Rollins and CM Punk in the main event of 'Night 1'. To be sure, the former world champion – who was betrayed by Paul Heyman in Las Vegas – also participated in the episode of Monday Night Raw immediately following the 'Showcase of the Immortals', in which he was brutally attacked by Rollins and the rest of his stable.
After that episode of the red show, the 'Tribal Chief' literally disappeared and skipped both Money in the Bank and Night of Champions, the controversial event that was held in Saudi Arabia exactly a week ago.
During this time, Roman also kept his public appearances to a minimum and was only spotted by a few fans in Florida while spending time with his family.
Backstage details on Roman
According to the latest rumors, this break of Reigns had been planned for some time by WWE management and Triple H is in no hurry to use it again on TV. The former member of 'The Shield' has been the main topic of numerous creative team meetings in recent times and may have a new connotation when I make his return. It is rumored that the nickname 'Tribal Chief' could be removed from him, thus starting a new chapter in his career.
WWE Universe won't have to wait much longer to see Reigns in action again, as his presence at SummerSlam on August 2 and 3 seems certain. He will certainly be among the protagonists of the most important PLE of the summer and will play an important role in the second half of 2025, with the clear goal of winning again the world title that had been taken from him by 'The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL last year.
The feeling is that Roman also intends to devote his time to projects outside of wrestling, following in the footsteps of other icons such as his cousin The Rock and John Cena.
