As Roman Reigns was making his way to the back AAA General Manager Rey Mysterio approached him and said that he wants to run something by The Tribal Chief. This led to obvious speculation that Roman Reigns could be making an appearance in AAA in the near future.
While talking about Roman’s involvement with AAA on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Reigns will not be appearing at the upcoming show in Las Vegas, or the upcoming show in Texas.
“Well, obviously they’re gonna put him on a show. Now, what I can tell you is it is not going to be the MGM Grand show. My two first picks were the MGM Grand show or the show in Edinburg, Texas, which goes against All In, because those made sense as far as they’re the next two upcoming. I only know that he is not on the Texas show, and he’s not on the MGM Grand show.”
The upcoming Worlds Collide event is set for the Allstate Arena in Chicago on September 26, and the show will be going head to head with AEW All Out. Meltzer speculated that Roman Reigns could end up on the show along with CM Punk, but that’s not confirmed at this point.
“It could be Chicago because that’s a big one. They’re running the Allstate Arena. I figured Punk would work that show. I didn’t figure Roman would work that show, but they might. And I’m sure Punk will. I’m not sure, but I certainly expect Punk will work the show. Maybe they want Roman to work the show.“
“It is head-to-head with AEW’s pay-per-view in the same city. Obviously, they’re gonna do some sort of a special on it, whether it be YouTube or elsewhere, Netflix, something somewhere. Probably YouTube.“
“The big thing is that they’re gonna go head-to-head with the AEW pay-per-view in the same city, and they want to draw a bigger crowd, and they probably will. They’re in the Allstate Arena and AEW’s in the NOW Arena, so they’re in a bigger arena to begin with. They’re a little bit ahead in ticket sales, even though it’s not a pay-per-view going against a pay-per-view.“
“But CM Punk in Chicago is gonna draw. That’s just the reality of the situation. And you add Roman, you know. But I don’t know that. Like I said, I don’t know Roman is on that show. It would make sense for him to be on that show.”
