#7. Roman Reigns signs a new WWE contract
Trending
As reported first by Pro Wrestling Sheet, Roman Reigns signed a new multi-year contract with the WWE. While the exact nature and length of his contract are not known, The Big Dog put pen to paper on a new deal last month and will be a featured talent for the next few years.
WWE put out the following announcement while confirming the new contract:
The Big Dog is here to stay. Roman Reigns has signed a new multi-year contract with WWE. Reigns is one of WWE's most decorated Superstars, having held the WWE, Universal, Intercontinental, United States and Tag Team Championships during his career.
Earlier this year, Reigns won the first-ever WWE Moment ESPY after his return to the ring from battling leukemia. Tune in to SmackDown LIVE Tuesday at 8/7 C on the USA Network to see The Big Dog in action.
The former WWE Champion has many big fights left in the WWE:
WWE's recent strategy has seen them lockdown talents to long-term deals ranging from 4 to 5 years. Reigns has stated that he sees himself wrestling for another 5 years before transitioning out to explore other avenues.
"I’m still a young man, I’m 34, I still have a few more years in me...I think I can hold this schedule for at least 5 more years of being full-time...Eventually, it’s gonna have to be time to rest my body.”
#8. The Undertaker's return announced
The Deadman doesn't feel like the special attraction that he once was. As announced by the WWE, The Undertaker will be returning on the SmackDown episode of September 10 at the Madison Square Garden, NYC.
WWE will be stopping by the iconic Madison Square Garden for two shows - Raw on September 9th and SmackDown Live on September 10th.
It should be noted that the Undertaker is only being advertised for SmackDown and not Raw. It's also odd that WWE chose to get the Deadman back three weeks before SmackDown's 20th Anniversary show on October 4th.
As reported by Dave Meltzer, Undertaker is currently not listed to compete at Clash of Champion on September 15th.
