In a surprising turn of events on WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman took to the stage to announce Roman Reigns’ unexpected withdrawal from a major WWE event.
As the anticipation loomed large before the WWE Draft, Kayla Braxton managed to catch Paul Heyman backstage to look into the swirling rumors surrounding The Tribal Chief and his status in the draft.
In a moment that left many fans in shock, Paul Heyman didn’t hold back as he shed light on Reigns’ decision:
“Let me set the record straight. These aren’t mere speculations concerning your Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. Ladies and Gentlemen, your Tribal Chief has made the conscious choice to withdraw from the WWE Draft. And let me be clear, this isn’t a setback; it’s a strategic move. Who has been the backbone of SmackDown during the pandemic? Roman Reigns. Who stands as the pinnacle of the industry? Why should he vie for the top draft spot when his return isn’t imminent? Read between the lines, Kayla. A true Tribal Chief acts with foresight.”
Reigns’ withdrawal has ignited a flurry of speculation regarding his next move. Having been a cornerstone of SmackDown for an impressive five-year tenure, this marks a significant juncture in his career.
The question now looms: where will Reigns find himself next? With WWE possibly deliberating over his destination, and the monumental Netflix deal set to kick off in January 2025, the stakes are higher than ever. Could Reigns’ return see him reclaim his throne on WWE RAW?
