As we previously reported by eWn, Roman Reigns has been pulled from all 4 previously advertised June episodes of WWE RAW. In accordance with a report from Dave Meltzer, the choice is connected to WWE’s upcoming Saudi Arabia pay-per-view event.
Reigns has been faraway from the June 1 show in Turin, June 8 in Paris, June 15 in Baltimore, and June 22 in London. Nonetheless, he continues to be scheduled to seem on the May 11 episode in Knoxville, which takes place the night after WWE Backlash 2026.
Reigns’ absence stems from the undeniable fact that he just isn’t currently planned for the Saudi Arabia show. Meltzer said,
“Regarding Roman Reigns being pulled from June TV dates that were announced, the rationale we were told is that he’s not going to be on the Saudi Arabia PPV and thus there was no reason to do the TVs constructing that show. If he loses the title next week, after all that will be a change and there will likely be more to the story [in the future]. If he retains, that’s probably all it’s. But Reigns isn’t any longer scheduled for any television in June.”
The Saudi Arabia event, WWE Night of Champions 2026, was confirmed on April 23 and can happen at Kingdom Arena on Saturday, June 27. It’ll mark WWE’s second trip to Saudi Arabia this 12 months, following the Royal Rumble in January.
Following his victory over CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 (Night Two), Reigns stated that he wouldn’t work a part-time schedule during his reign as World Heavyweight Champion and planned to seem throughout the summer.
Reigns is ready to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu at WWE Backlash 2026 on Saturday, May 9, from the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, FL.
