Okay, so, I’ve been following WWE for a while now, and Roman Reigns has always been a big name, right? Especially on SmackDown. Dude’s been holding onto that Undisputed WWE Universal Champion title like it’s glued to his hands. But something weird happened recently, and I had to dig into it.
I started noticing that Roman Reigns was missing from the promotional posters for SmackDown. It’s like, where did he go? He’s usually front and center, being all “Tribal Chief” and whatnot. This got me thinking, “Is he taking a break? Did he get into a backstage brawl with a chair again?”
First thing I did was check out the official WWE website. I scrolled through all the upcoming events, and true enough, his name wasn’t listed for the September 13th show, which is supposed to be SmackDown’s big return to the USA Network. That’s a big deal, you know? It’s like missing your own birthday party.
Then I started digging through some wrestling news sites. Found out that this isn’t the first time he’s taken a break. Apparently, he’s been doing this “part-time” thing since he came back as a heel between 2020 and 2024. Some folks are saying he might be taking more time off than we thought, especially after that unexpected comeback at SummerSlam where he went after Solo Sikoa instead of Cody Rhodes. Yeah, that was a shocker.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Some people are speculating that he might be moving to RAW. Can you imagine? Roman Reigns on RAW? That’s like seeing a fish ride a bicycle. Anyway, they’re saying it could be because of the Netflix deal, starting January 6, 2025. Now, I don’t know about all that, but it’s a pretty wild theory.
Here’s what I managed to piece together:
- Checked Official Listings: I started by browsing the official WWE event listings.
- Scoured News Sites: Then I jumped onto various wrestling news websites to see what the buzz was.
- Noticed a Pattern: I realized this wasn’t the first time he’s taken a break; he’s been part-time since his heel turn.
- Explored Rumors: I looked into the rumors about him potentially moving to RAW due to the Netflix deal.
So, after all this digging, it seems like Roman Reigns is just taking a breather. Maybe he’s tired of smashing people every week. Or maybe there’s something bigger going on behind the scenes. Whatever it is, it’s got everyone talking. One thing’s for sure, though: SmackDown feels a little empty without him. It’s like a pizza without the cheese, you know? It’s just not the same.
Anyways, that’s my little investigation into the missing Tribal Chief. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens next. Will he come back and reclaim his spot? Will he jump ship to RAW? Only time will tell. And you bet I’ll be watching, popcorn in hand, ready for the drama.
