As already noted, Roman Reigns hasn't been seen on WWE TV since March and was forced to withdraw from his match against Goldberg at WrestleMania since he is considered "high-risk."

The former World Champion's recent battle with leukemia means that he needs to self isolate and despite his reasons, there are rumors that this has lead to some heat in WWE.

Recently, there were reports that Reigns' name was banned backstage by Vince McMahon and he was even edited out of the entire WrestleMania 31 clip that was shown on Monday Night RAW, which led to even more speculation.

Most recent reports have suggested that the backstage feeling with Reigns changes day by day, whilst the man himself has stated that he wants to return to work within WWE but he also knows that he has to protect his family. This has become even more important for the former Champion since it's been revealed that his wife Galina is expecting their second set of twins later this year.
