WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was absent from yet another live event. The show held at the Amway Center in Orlando did not feature The Tribal Chief. This was after he was pulled from the live event at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida as well.

It has been reported that multiple top superstars had to be pulled from live events due to a COVID outbreak. Reigns wasn't the only big name to have no-showed. Names like Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch also did not make an appearance despite being advertised. Here is what SportsKeeda had stated:
