WWE Reportedly Orders Roman Reigns' Name Removed From TV Broadcasts

Just over a week before Roman Reigns’ scheduled match with Bill Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania, WWE was left scrambling after the performer pulled out of the event due to concerns because of the coronavirus pandemic and the spread of COVID-19. While the event was a major...

Thoughts? Probably means a Roman return isn't likely for a whiiiiiiile.

 

[Hoss]

The hell does it even matter?

My initial reaction is they're trying to punish him in some way, but that would just be stupid as this isn't any kind of real punishment and it's not like they're going to actually do anything to him.

I think the reason they aren't mentioning him is because it will remind the viewers that they're still going on with shows that pose a potentially serious health risk to those involved and they don't want to draw attention to that.

Either way though, this report seems like it's just meant to stir up shit. It doesn't really matter if they mention Reigns on air or not.

I tend to agree. Vince is probably pissed tho, and he seems like the kind of guy to do this kind of thing.

Bullshit, he was mentioned on the Usos name bar on SD.

Fucking moron dirtsheet cunts

Also, why keep mentioning a guys name who's clearly not going to be on the shows for what could be several months yet? They're obviously not going to mention the virus at all and the problems it can cause with Roman's past health issues, so just treat him as being gone indefinitely.

When Roman pulled out of Mania, I said he wasn’t gonna be around for a while. That part is obvious.

Like Dale said, if this guy isn’t gonna be around for 6 months or so, what’s the point in mentioning him anyway? I doubt this is Vince being petty but more so a case of “he’s outta sight, so let’s try and keep him outta mind”
