WWE fans are not happy about the latest news about Roman Reigns. In 2023, Reigns’ matches have been infrequent, and despite his upcoming match at Crown Jewel against LA Knight, he has only appeared in seven matches on television this year.
After it was reported a few days ago that Roman Reigns wasn’t scheduled for a match at Survivor Series on November 25th. This means that his next match on WWE programming will be at the Royal Rumble on January 27th. That kind of gap amounts to nearly three months following his match at Crown Jewel, which is already three months after his most recent appearance at SummerSlam.
While fans have acknowledged the success of the Bloodline storyline and Roman Reigns’ character development in recent years, it’s becoming a common critique that Reigns’ extended absences are posing an issue. The news of Reigns likely not wrestling on television again until Royal Rumble after Crown Jewel and missing Survivor Series has triggered various responses from the WWE fan base.
One fan posted on X to say, “I’m all for Roman Reigns working less shows and being more of a special attraction, but Survivor Series is a show he shouldn’t be missing.” Many more agreed with this sentiment.
Another fan commented to say, “If WWE lets this happen, it’s not good. I’m okay with him not being on every show or PLE but this is a big one.“
It is notable that fans shouldn’t be surprised about Roman Reigns missing Survivor Series. Fans have called out the fact that Roman Reigns was missing from the Survivor Series graphic since July when the company released their first images.
We will keep an eye on this story, and many more here at Ringside News. You never know what will happen next, but Roman Reigns’ ultimate part-time schedule is likely to continue.
