In a shocking development, WWE has announced that Roman Reigns has been released from his contract following his loss at WrestleMania 40. This news comes amid speculation and concern regarding Reigns’ future with the company, especially after he hinted at “calling it quits” once he lost the WWE Undisputed Championship.
Reigns’ historic run came to an end when Cody Rhodes defeated him to become the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Following this, Reigns posted a cryptic message on social media, “Yesterday I mourned, today is day one,” leading many fans to believe he was gearing up for a comeback. However, reports now suggest that Reigns will be taking a lengthy break from WWE, with a possible return not expected until 2025.
Roman Reigns’ WWE Legacy
Roman Reigns, one of WWE’s biggest stars, has had an incredible career, marked by multiple championship reigns and memorable feuds. His departure leaves a significant void in WWE’s roster, and fans are left wondering what the future holds for the “Tribal Chief.”
The Release Decision
Insiders reveal that Triple H granted Reigns’ request to be released from his contract, which was set to expire soon. This decision allows Reigns to take a complete break from the industry, recharge, and spend time with his family. Despite this, Reigns has assured WWE officials that he plans to return to the ring and has no intention of joining another wrestling organization.
Future WWE Plans
In the wake of Reigns’ departure, WWE has already begun reshuffling its creative plans. The Rock’s appearance on Monday Night Raw to confront Cody Rhodes is part of this new direction, setting up a potential feud heading into SummerSlam 2024. This move aims to fill the void left by Reigns and keep the storyline momentum going.
Conclusion
While Roman Reigns’ release marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter for WWE and its superstars. Fans will eagerly await Reigns’ eventual return, but for now, the focus shifts to how WWE will navigate the absence of one of its most iconic figures.
