“The Tribal Chief” is expected to remain at “The Head Of The Table” in the WWE Universe for a while longer.
According to a report with a source close to the situation, the word behind-the-scenes in the company right now is that Roman Reigns is expected to remain as the WWE Universal Champion for a while longer, with no plans for him to lose the title at any point this year.
The source claims WWE is pleased with Reigns’ work as the top heel on the Friday Night SmackDown brand, pointing specifically to his merchandise records as he is among the company’s top all-time heel movers in that department, with sales reportedly at the level of John Cena in his day.
With all that in mind, the belief is Reigns will not be losing his title this month, meaning he is likely to get his hand raised — or at the very least leave the squared circle with his gold hardware in-tact following his highly-anticipated showdown against Brock Lesnar at WWE Crown Jewel 2021 in Saudi Arabia later this month.
Adding to that expectation is the news that “The Beast Incarnate” is not expected to appear on any WWE programming after the aforementioned Crown Jewel show on 10/21 until the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view in St. Louis in January of next year.
