There has been a rumor circulating that the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, "The OTC" Roman Reigns, might leave the company. However, a recent report has dispelled this notion. It was previously noted that Reigns was pulled from the list of participants for RAW in June, but this was later confirmed to be an error. Coinciding with this, several WWE stars were reportedly asked to take pay cuts, which fueled speculation about Reigns being unhappy with TKO and WWE.
According to Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select, WWE and TKO have no concerns about Reigns leaving the company, and his position within WWE is strong. The report also stated that Reigns continues to play a significant role in WWE's creative plans.
Reigns is scheduled to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu at WWE Backlash this Saturday, May 9, at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. The event will air live on the ESPN Unlimited App in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
