If you were hoping to see Roman Reigns in the main event of WWE Hell in a Cell, it doesn’t appear that will be the case.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, current unified WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been removed from the upcoming Hell in a Cell Premium Live Event in Chicago on June 5. It appears that his schedule over the next several months will be very limited compared to what he was working earlier in the year.
“Basically, Roman Reigns is not gonna be on every pay-per-view. He’s off the Chicago show [Hell in a Cell], [which is] the next pay-per-view on June 5. He will be doing pay-per-views this summer. Even though he was removed from all the advertising after June 24 I believe it is — yeah, June 24 in Austin. He’s been removed from all advertising from house shows, TVs, everything except for the two stadium shows [Money in the Bank and SummerSlam], but he will do TVs to build up those shows. So it’s not like he’s not gonna be on TV, but he’s not gonna be doing a lot of dates. And from what I understand, the shows he will be on, eventually — probably sooner than later — they’ll start advertising him. So the dates will be known, it’s not like it’s gonna be like they’re gonna put him on TV without advertising him. But that’s the basic situation.”
Reigns was originally front and center on the poster for WWE Hell in a Cell but he has now been replaced by “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. You can check out both posters in the embedded tweet below.
