Roman Reigns shares potential spoiler surrounding his immediate WWE future
Roman Reigns is arguably the most popular superstar on the WWE roster. Amid recent speculation, the OTC recently shared a potential spoiler regarding his future within the wrestling promotion.
The 39-year-old was drafted to Friday Night SmackDown in 2019 and has since been an integral part of the blue brand's roster. However, Paul Heyman withdrew the OTC's name from this year's Draft. Currently, Reigns, along with his Bloodline faction mates, is involved in an intriguing rivalry with Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline on the blue brand. The two groups are scheduled to square off in a WarGames Match at Survivor Series.
After the premium live event, the wrestling promotion is expected to shift its focus to RAW's premiere episode on Netflix, scheduled for January 6, 2025. WWE will leave no stone unturned to maximize the hype for the historic event. It was recently revealed that several SmackDown talents, including Roman Reigns and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, will appear on the red brand in 2025.
A few weeks ago, it was reported that Netflix wants top stars, including Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk, to be on RAW. It led wrestling fans to speculate about the stars' potential move to the red brand.
WWE advertising the OTC and The American Nightmare for the January 6 edition of Monday Night RAW has further fueled the speculations. The OG Bloodline leader recently took to Instagram stories to reshare the wrestling promotion's announcement post, seemingly spoiling the potential move.
Wrestling veteran shared honest take on WWE SmackDown segment featuring Roman Reigns
After Nia Jax retained the WWE Women's Championship in the main event, the camera panned at Roman Reigns sitting backstage. The OTC tried to call Paul Heyman, only to find out that the latter's number was out of service.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell praised the wrestling promotion for the creative finish to the show. He added that the segment will have fans thinking about Roman and Heyman. The veteran said he might call The Wiseman later tonight to check if his number is in service.
"That was a great finish. It really was. It leaves you, I'm glad they had this following the main event because it left on a high note. Now you got something to look forward to. Wait a minute, did he [Paul Heyman] disconnect his number, where is he? Now people are thinking about that. I was thinking about it myself. I may even call Paul myself tonight to see if he's there," he said. [1:09:10 onwards]
Solo Sikoa and his men took out Paul Heyman after he refused to acknowledge the 31-year-old as his Tribal Chief on the June 28, 2024 edition of SmackDown. It remains to be seen how much longer The Wiseman will take before his imminent return.
