New Plans For Roman Reigns After Being Removed From WWE Money In The Bank

WWE

UPDATE – Some insight into WWE’s thought process when pulling Roman Reigns from Money in the Bank has been revealed – read more here.

Here’s yet another update on WWE’s plans for Roman Reigns following the news that he’s been removed from the Money in the Bank card.

Initial plans had Reigns defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Riddle at Money in the Bank in Riddle’s hometown of Las Vegas, but with the show being moved from Allegiant Stadium to the smaller MGM Grand, Reigns is no longer scheduled.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE isn’t 100% sure of even doing Roman Reigns vs Riddle anymore, but if they do, it certainly won’t be a pay-per-view match. He said:

“If he wrestles Riddle, it’ll be on TV, it won’t be on pay-per-view. At least that’s the plan right now. The plan is still Orton for July 30 (SummerSlam). Obviously they were building up the Riddle and Reigns match on Monday, so I’m presuming they’re gonna 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.”

The initial plan for Reigns’ list of upcoming opponents was Riddle at Money in the Bank, Randy Orton at SummerSlam, and Drew McIntyre at Clash of the Castle, so it seems like the second and third of those three are still in place.
