CM Punk eliminated Roman Reigns in the closing moments of the Royal Rumble, handing him a heartbreaking loss. The shocking turn of events left not only his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, but also the entire WWE Universe in disbelief. Following his defeat, it was announced on Raw that Reigns would be out indefinitely. However, a new report has surfaced, revealing the truth behind his absence.
According to PWInsider Elite, WWE has given out the statement that Reigns being “out of action” is only to fill his absence from the programming. Reports revealed that The Tribal Chief will take a short hiatus following his appearance at Royal Rumble. While WWE has yet to determine his next appearance, the former Undisputed WWE Champion is all but confirmed to compete at WrestleMania 41.
Moreover, fans speculate that The Needle Mover will make a surprise appearance at Elimination Chamber, where Seth Rollins and CM Punk are set to compete. Interestingly, WWE has positioned The Tribal Chief in a brewing rivalry against both men. As a result, many believe Reigns could interfere at the Rogers Centre spectacle, potentially costing his two rivals their matches.
Furthermore, some reports suggest that the 39-year-old could square off against The Best in the World and The Visionary in a blockbuster match at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. If this showdown materializes, it has the potential to be one of the biggest main events in WWE history. However, fans eagerly await how The Tribal Chief will shape his journey on the road to WrestleMania this year.
Seth Rollins claims he has hurt Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble
Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have been arch-rivals in WWE ever since The Shield crumbled in 2014. However, in recent years, their feud has evolved with new layers of intensity. In the latest chapter of their rivalry, Rollins delivered a brutal double foot stomp to Reigns at ringside following the Royal Rumble match.
On this week’s Raw, The Visionary made his way down the aisle to address his actions at Royal Rumble. He declared that he had not only hurt The Tribal Chief but also shattered his WrestleMania dreams, just as he had promised. Rollins further stated that while Reigns or Paul Heyman might not admit it, The Needle Mover is out of the company indefinitely.

Interestingly, around this time last year, The Architect vowed to make Cody Rhodes his shield in the war against The Bloodline. However, this time, it seems Rollins has taken matters into his own hands, determined to end The Head of the Table’s reign once and for all. It will be intriguing to see what the next step is for the former Universal Champion in this deeply personal rivalry.
