Roman Reigns may have taken three crushing Tsunamis from Bronson Reed on WWE RAW, but reports of his Hollywood exit were, once again, premature.
While Dave Meltzer claimed the beatdown was meant to write Reigns off TV so he could begin filming the Street Fighter movie, a new update confirms that Reigns will be sticking around and we already know when hes back. On Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer stated the RAW segment was done to clear Reigns for the movie shoot:
He also added that Reigns would be joined by Cody Rhodes and Hirooki Goto on set very soon:
But PWInsider quickly poured cold water on that timeline. According to their report, Street Fighter doesnt even begin filming until September, and Reigns wont be needed on set until September 2nd:
They further added:
Now, in a new update, its been confirmed that Roman Reigns is advertised for WWE RAW in two weeks in Philadelphia. That appearance lines up with the Street Fighter filming dates and confirms The Tribal Chief isnt done with WWE just yet.
So while the storyline on RAW may have teased a dramatic exit, fans can expect Roman Reigns to be back in the mix at least one more time before Hollywood calls. And once again, another one of Meltzers reports gets exposed before the inks even dry.
Are you glad Roman Reigns is sticking around a bit longer before filming? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
