WWE recently took to Twitter (X) to unveil the schedule for the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, "The OTC" Roman Reigns, for the month of May. This announcement includes the highly anticipated 2026 Clash in Italy Premium Live Event (PLE).
This news comes after reports over the weekend indicated that Reigns was initially scheduled to appear on all episodes of RAW in June. However, he was removed from those listings. It appears that Reigns will not be competing at Night of Champions on June 27th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. His previous inclusion in the RAW lineup leading to that event has been described as a “clerical error.”
Roman Reigns is set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu at WWE Backlash, which will take place this Saturday, May 9th, at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. The event will be broadcast live on the ESPN Unlimited App in the U.S., with the first hour airing on ESPN2. Internationally, it will stream live on Netflix.
You can check out the upcoming schedule below for Roman Reigns:
* WWE Backlash (May 9th) – Tampa, Florida
* WWE RAW (May 11th) – Knoxville, Tennessee
* WWE RAW (May 18th) – Greensboro, North Carolina
* WWE RAW (May 25th) – Columbus, Ohio
* WWE Clash In Italy (May 31st) – Turin, Italy
