Roman Reigns not advertised for Royal Rumble 2024
The last time fans witnessed Roman Reigns in action was at SummerSlam 2023. At the biggest party of the Summer, he defeated his former Bloodline member, Jey Uso. Since then, The Tribal Chief has not been spotted competing in the ring, and there is no clarity about his status.
While the WWE Universe will expect Reigns to compete in a mega event like the Royal Rumble, he has not been advertised. Based on the first poster revealed for the 2024 edition, Roman Reigns is nowhere to be seen in the group of superstars advertised.
Reigns not being featured on the early poster for Royal Rumble 2024 has led to disappointment among fans. However, given WWE's nature of surprising fans with mega returns at the Premium Live Event, it won't be a surprise to see the 38-year-old compete.
The last time Roman Reigns competed at the Rumble was in 2023 when he defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens. While the title defense was successful, Reigns was disappointed after Sami Zayn attacked him and sided with Kevin Owens. It will be interesting to see if Reigns is involved in another big moment next year at the Rumble.
