Roman Reigns had the wrestling world buzzing on Sunday long before WrestleMania Backlash started. Videos from his post-show promo at a live event in Trenton, New Jersey, from earlier in the weekend made the rounds on social media as it sounded like “The Tribal Chief” was stepping away from wrestling full-time. He said, “I’ve been here a couple of times in the past 10 years. I’m starting to work into a new phase in my career, and I honestly don’t know if I’ll be back here again. If that’s the case, I just wanna say thank you for all these years of support.” Fightful Select then reported WWE still had creative plans for Reigns for well into the future, so leaving wasn’t on the table. Dave Meltzer then explained on Wrestling Observer Radio that he had recently signed a new deal that included a lighter schedule.
