Roman Reigns has seemingly been in WWE's bad books after pulling out of WrestleMania 36, where he was scheduled to face Goldberg for the Universal Championship. Over the past few weeks, WWE has ensured to avoid putting him in any video packages, let alone mention his name.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Vince McMahon is still unclear about how to handle the Roman Reigns situation:

We’re told the reaction by Vince McMahon regarding Reigns and how to handle the situation “changes daily based on which way the wind is blowing,” which is why one day they show him beating HHH on Smackdown, then they edited him off Raw, then they do a Make-a-Wish thing and have no clips of him, then they do an investment conference and Vince McMahon never says his name, and then they have a one hour special on him on FS 1.

We hope this isn't true because they should avoid mentioning him and await his return. That's most likely what they're doing, but Roman Reigns shouldn't be blamed for prioritizing his family.
