A recent tweet by Seth Rollins addressing Roman Reigns’ part-time schedule has sparked controversy among fans. Roman Reigns, WWE’s top superstar, has been following a light schedule for over three years, allowing him to miss several weekly shows and some premium live events (PLEs) each year. This has drawn criticism from some fellow wrestlers, including Seth Rollins.
Responding to a fan who claimed that he took more time off than Santa, Rollins defended himself by stating that he had taken less time off for injuries in the last 12 years than Roman Reigns took in the last two years.
The tweet received backlash from fans, highlighting the ongoing debate over part-time schedules in professional wrestling.
Seth Rollins has been vocal about his disapproval of Roman Reigns’ schedule in the past. In a previous interview on the Out of Character podcast with Ryan Satin, Rollins expressed his thoughts on the matter.
He argued that if Roman Reigns followed a similar schedule to his, there wouldn’t be a need for a secondary championship on RAW, as Reigns would be handling those responsibilities.
Dawg I’ve taken less time off for injuries in the last 12 years than the other champ has taken for vacation in the last 2 years…

Rollins emphasized the importance of having direction for the show and characters and suggested that Reigns’ absence created a void that needed to be filled.
Rollins further discussed WWE’s attempt to elevate the United States Championship to a top belt comparable to Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
However, he noted that it did not feel like a world title and that there needed to be a spot for other wrestlers to fight for in Reigns’ absence.
Rollins expressed satisfaction with having a second world title on RAW and concluded that introducing a world title wouldn’t have been necessary if Reigns made regular appearances and defended his title more.
The ongoing discussion between Rollins and Reigns, both on social media and in WWE storylines, has stirred controversy and garnered attention from fans, with many expressing their opinions on the matter.
