6 current WWE stars who have been absent for more than 30 days and the reason why

#3. Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns hasn't been seen on WWE TV since March, which was when it was announced that the United States would be forced to take lockdown measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Reigns' recent struggles with Leukemia and the fact that his wife had recently given birth to twins meant that the former Universal Champion made the decision to remain at home and drop out of his scheduled WrestleMania match.

The Big Dog was set to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania, but he was replaced by Braun Strowman after Reigns made it clear that he wouldn't be able to perform.

Reigns was expected to make his return as part of SummerSlam, since this was when WWE targeted the return of their audience. Given the company's recent COVID-19 issues, Reigns isn't expected to return in the near future and SummerSlam has recently been moved to WWE's Performance Center as well.

At present, there is no update on when Roman Reigns is expected to make his return to WWE TV.
