Despite being a challenging time in Roman Reigns’ life, he is enjoying his life away from WWE.
Reigns went away to take time off after WrestleMania XL after dropping the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes on the second night. Since then, Solo Sikoa has gone from being the enforcer for Reigns to being the new Tribal Chief. WWE has a long-term strategy to make Sikoa the main leader of the faction before doing a match with Reigns.
WWE had Solo recently say that Reigns was never coming back—obviously, a pure storyline before laying out Paul Heyman after Heyman wouldn’t acknowledge him as his Tribal Chief. This past Saturday, Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens put over The Bloodline at Money in the Bank.
Last month, Reigns lost his father, WWE Hall of Famer Sika Anoa’i, real name Leati Sika Amituana’i Anoaʻi. He was one half of The Wild Samoans and the father of the late Matt “Rosey” Anoa’i. Reno Anoa’i recently shared this photo on his Instagram story of Reigns, as seen below:

There is still no word yet on when Reigns will return to television, although SummerSlam on August 3rd is highly speculated to be the date.
