After WrestleMania 38 in 2022, where Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Universal and WWE Titles into the Undisputed WWE Universal Title, Reigns signed a new long-term, big-money deal with the company.
The deal
The contract called for him to drastically cut back on house show matches, appearances on television, and PLE. Reigns rarely works matches that are not at major PLEs.
Reigns is slated to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at the Royal Rumble this Saturday in a fatal 4-way match against Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles.
Defense
Jey Uso made an appearance on TNT Sports to discuss a wide range of topics, including the success of his cousin. The Raw star noted that Reigns has earned the right to work fewer dates.
“I look at my cousin now, and I’m just happy at how far he’s come. From the day he walked into FCW developmental, to which I was there, to present. Inspiring. He’s the blueprint of what hard work does, and you can just never knock that, and he has a great work ethic. All the time that he has off, he deserves all that uce. He earned it.”
