Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman’s Heartwarming Interaction Following WWE WrestleMania 40
At WWE WrestleMania 40, fans witnessed an emotional interaction between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. Despite Reigns’s defeat in the main event, the encounter marked a standout moment in the history of WrestleMania.
The showdown between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns was full of surprises, as The Rock, John Cena, and The Undertaker got involved in the fight as well. This ultimately led to Rhodes winning the WWE Universal Championship.
After his defeat to Rhodes, Reigns stood and shared an embrace with Heyman, relinquishing the WWE Undisputed Championship. His historic title reign, spanning 1316 days as WWE champion, came to an end.
This loss raises the central question — what the future holds for Roman Reigns. However, at the WrestleMania 40 press conference, Triple H stated that the former is embarking on a new story that will amaze people.
Roman Reigns to take time off after WWE WrestleMania 40
Having held the WWE Universal Championship since 2020, Roman Reigns lost his title at WrestleMania 40. Now, with his defeat, it seems Reigns will be taking a hiatus from WWE.
In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer mentioned that Reigns will not likely retire after a loss. However, considering his schedule, he might go on a hiatus.
Meltzer noted, “I don’t think anyone believes Reigns would retire with a loss, and WWE has taught fans not to believe it, but given his schedule, it’s probable he’d take some time off.
Given his limited schedule, one wouldn’t even expect him on a show again until the as yet unannounced next Saudi Arabia show (last word being on 5/25) and the 8/3 SummerSlam show in Cleveland.”
It will be intriguing to see when Roman Reigns makes his return. After all, Triple H’s hopeful statement will further add to the excitement surrounding his new storyline.
