Roman Reigns pulled out of his scheduled Universal Title match with Goldberg at WrestleMania 36, and he hasn’t made an appearance on WWE programming in weeks. On top of that it’s been reported that Roman’s name is not to be mentioned on WWE programming right now.
The Big Dog recently spoke to TMZ about his WWE status, and he noted that he’s staying away for now because he and his wife welcomed newborn twin boys weeks ago.
“I’m doing good. A lot of people, you know, they think that it was based off of my health and the history of my fight against leukemia, but just talking to my doctors and stuff, I actually am fine, and my immune system is good. The drugs that I take in order to fight the leukemia, they don’t attack your immune system, but not everybody knew because I try to keep it private in this crazy world, but my children, you know, we just had two newborn twin boys, they’re eight weeks old, so i had to make a decision for them, and I love this business… if anybody ever questions if I love this business, go back about a year and a half ago.”
While talking about a possible return Roman said that he wants to go back to work, but right now he’s not sure when it’s going to happen.
“Really, to be honest, I don’t know. We’re just going day by day, taking this thing how it comes. It’s… we’re in weird times. These are brand new times for us, this is a new normal, and we’re just trying to collect as much information and make the most educated choice possible. It’s something that going forward will protect, like I said, my family and myself, but I definitely want to gt out there, I definitely want to be back to normal, and just performing for the fans. It’s tough to be a performer who’s not performing. But yeah man, hopefully very soon. But right now we’re in daddy mode, that’s #1.”
