Roman Reigns Pulled From WWE's European Tour
The United States Champion is on his way home early.
WWE's Raw and SmackDown rosters have been touring Europe for the best part of two weeks now, and both shows were broadcast from Glasgow, Scotland this week. The wrestlers have a couple of shows in France left before returning to America in time for next week's Raw, but it looks like one of WWE's biggest stars is on his way home already.
Roman Reigns has been defending his United States Championship against Rusev throughout the tour, but he wasn't present at the most recent event in Vienna, where Big Cass took his place.
The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is now reporting that Reigns has been pulled from the tour, and won't feature on any of the remaining shows:-
Reigns has had a year of highs and lows, and with his popularity persisting, Roman's 2016 has seen him not only headline WrestleMania, but serve a 30-day suspension for violating WWE's Wellness Policy. Naturally, this transgression had fans fearing the worst after hearing the news, but this doesn't seem to be the case:-
Dave Meltzer would later confirm that Roman Reigns had been pulled from the European tour due for family reasons.
