Since Roman Reigns withdrew from his WrestleMania 36 match against Goldberg and went on a long break, WWE has dropped a number of hints that the promotion is unhappy with the face of WWE SmackDown. Earlier, WWE censored Roman Reigns from a WrestleMania 31 clip that was featured as part of the greatest WrestleMania moments on WWE RAW. Roman Reigns was cut out from the clip and was replaced by Seth Rollins. A few weeks ago, Vince McMahon and his team reportedly asked officials to not use Roman Reigns’ name or image during any WWE live broadcasts. All of this has made fans believe that WWE is indeed unhappy with Roman Reigns.
