Roman Reigns Not to Take Part in WWE's Saudi Arabian Crown Jewel Nor the RAW's that Lead Up To It

Posted By James Walsh on 05/04/26


As seen during WWE WrestleMania 42 Sunday, Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk to become the new world heavyweight champion. While speaking on the post-show, Reigns stated that he would be making frequent appearances.

Reigns is no longer being advertised for WWE RAW events in June of 2026. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about the situation with Reigns…

“Regarding Roman Reigns being pulled from June TV dates that were announced, the reason we were told is that he’s not going to be on the Saudi Arabia PPV [Night of Champions] and thus there was no reason to do the TV’s building that show. If he loses the title next week, of course that would be a change and there will be more to the story. If he retains, that’s probably all it is. But Reigns is no longer scheduled for any television in June.”
