WWE was at the Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey, with a show headlined by Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre on Saturday night. Unsurprisingly Reigns would be victorious, yet Reigns did leave the fans in attendance, and, subsequently, those on social media shocked after taking the mic following the match. The WWE star did this by thanking the crowd for all their support over the years and stating he doesn’t know if he’ll be back to wrestle in front of them again because he is starting to work on a new phase of his career.
The above video would quickly spread on social media, and Reigns would trend with fans concerned he is preparing to step away from wrestling or at least become a part-timer. Although Fightful Select has since reported that WWE higher-ups and staff haven’t been informed of Reigns taking any upcoming extended absences, and he is still involved in their creative plans for the foreseeable future.
It has seemed inevitable that Reigns would eventually pursue an acting career after he dipped his toe in the water, appearing in Hobbs & Shaw and The Wrong Missy. Plus, Nick Khan has previously disclosed in an interview on The Town with Matthew Belloni that WWE has a plan in place to help Reigns cross over, saying The Rock is the blueprint for achieving this. Nevertheless, it seems unavoidable that Reigns and The Rock will clash in the ring at some point. However, instead of it being The Rock putting over Reigns, it could end up being Reigns’ WWE swansong.
