REIGNS OFF?

WWE make mention of Roman Reigns for first time in weeks with a cameo during bizarre Money in the Bank match after ‘row’

THE WWE made reference to Roman Reigns for the first time in weeks last night during the most bizarre Money in the Bank match ever.

The Big Dog has not been seen or spoken about on live TV since an alleged bust-up with chief Vince McMahon before WrestleMania in early April.

The 34-year-old has been hauled up at home with his family after not wanting to appear in-ring over coronavirus fears which are sweeping the globe.

He has just had a set of twins, and has also fought back from Leukaemia in recent years, a blood cancer which he had numerous treatments for.

It is not known when Reigns will come back to the WWE, and a ban was rumoured to have been imposed on his name and any images of him.

But at the historic Money in the Bank match, the camera lingered on a poster of the ex-champion while AJ Style walked through the halls of the WWE HQ.

The bout, which was shockingly won by Otis, was being held at their Stamford, Connecticut, home with fans banned from attending shows due to Covid-19.

Social media was set ablaze by the appearance of Reigns, which was clearly a hit back at reports of him not being mentioned by the WWE.

One said on Twitter: "Is that Roman Reigns being shown on WWE television #MITB"

Another added: "Awww @WWERomanReigns Gettin some face time front & center even when he not there.... Love it!!"

And one more commented: "At least they kept the Roman Reigns picture up in wwe headquarters. #MITB Hey Vince you forgot one! lol"

The Money in the Bank pay-per-view was a night of twist and turns, with Asuka winning the headline bout for the woman's briefcase.
