Roman Reigns Has No Issues With WWE or TKO

Roman Reigns' June TV removal was a clerical error, not a WWE dispute, despite Night of Champions absence.

Roman Reigns is not having any issues with WWE or TKO. He was not pulled from WWE’s June television dates because of a contract dispute or backstage heat.

PWInsider reports the removal of the current World Heavyweight Champion from several listings came down to a clerical error by TKO and WWE. It had nothing to do with his deal for WrestleMania 42.

The move raised eyebrows because Reigns was taken off advertising for four June episodes of Monday Night RAW. Those shows are set for Turin, Paris, Baltimore and London. POST Wrestling noted he remains advertised for every May episode. That includes the build to Backlash.

The Wrestling Observer also reported Reigns is not currently slated for Night of Champions. That event is scheduled for June 27 in Saudi Arabia. With him likely out of that card, there would be no immediate creative reason to feature him on June television.

WWE is still promoting Reigns for Backlash. He will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in Tampa, Florida.

The removal felt strange because Reigns promised a busier schedule after beating CM Punk at WrestleMania 42. For now, though, there is no sign of a rift between the star and WWE.
