Rumor about why Roman Reigns was pulled from WWE RAW events in June gets shut down

WWE world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns is no longer being advertised for RAW events in June of 2026. This led to rumors that Reigns was one of the wrestlers asked to take a pay cut by WWE’s parent company TKO. However, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline shut down that idea while speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio…

“The people who they perceive as the key guys—and again, because of all the rumors regarding Roman Reigns and everything—Roman Reigns was not asked to renegotiate. None of the guys at that level, they’re not being asked. It’s the guys who, I would say, without mentioning any names, were at a higher level before than they are now. I think that’s the best way to put it.”

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted the following about Reigns being pulled from the shows…

“We are told Reigns was advertised in error and that it was a mistake on the TKO/WWE side as to what dates he would be working. It’s not a case of an issue between Reigns and the company or an issue with the deal he signed in the run-up to Wrestlemania 42. It was a clerical error.”
