Update On Roman Reigns' Next Championship Defense

The latest update has emerged regarding Roman Reigns' next championship defense!

On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Roman Reigns isn't scheduled to defend his title until SummerSlam 2022. As recently noted by SI's Justin Barrasso, Roman Reigns is no longer scheduled to work Money in the Bank.



Following Backlash, the initial plan was for Reigns to wrestle at WWE’s three upcoming stadium shows against Riddle, Orton, and McIntyre. Those matches were never announced but plan changed once Money in the Bank was moved from Allegiant Stadium to the indoor MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Now, Dave has followed up on the report and stated that July 30th is would possibly his first pay-per-view championship match. He may do a television match before then.

"The plan is still [Randy] Orton for July 30th. I mean, obviously, they were building up the Riddle and Reigns match on Monday, so I’m presuming they’re going to do it, but I was told it would not be a pay-per-view match if they do it and it’s not 100% that they will, but you would think that they will, so that would lead me to believe it’d be a TV match.” Dave Noted.
