Roman Reigns is already scheduled to defend his Undisputed Universal Championship in a fatal four-way match later this January. For those unaware, the Tribal Chief will put his title on the line against Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles at Royal Rumble 2024.

Despite having a major challenge in front, it’s hard to deny that Reigns still holds a great chance of retaining his title in this match.

However, recently, a potential belief has arisen that The Bloodline Leader might be finally dropping his title at WrestleMania 40. This possibility stems from the latest reports stating the absence of Reigns following the marquee premium live event. The reports state that the Tribal Chief is expected to miss this year’s Elimination Chamber and Backlash event despite both being international shows.

Usually, WWE attempts to gain more traction via star power in their shows outside the USA to expand their network. However, the absence of Roman Reigns from these shows sparked the speculation that he might finally lose his Championship at this year’s WrestleMania.

Notably, last year the Head of the Table was part of both pre-international and post-international events from WrestleMania, which were Night of Champions and Money in the Bank 2023. Reigns likely absence this time around fuels the speculation of him tumbling the title at Mania and then going on a hiatus which eventually results in his absence at Backlash 2024.

However, it is important to note that there is no official announcement from the company yet regarding the status of Roman Reigns for these two events.
