10 WWE Wrestlers Who Are Missing Right Now

2. Roman Reigns

Most know that it is why Roman Reigns isn't on your telly boxes right now.

Understandably, Roman decided his own health and his family's wellbeing was more important than playing wrestler for the foreseeable future, which is why he hasn't been seen since before WrestleMania. Initially, the company seemed to spit the dummy over this and delete references to Reigns from broadcasts.

That seems to have eased, but there's no fresh news on when the 'Big Dog' will resume his stint as WWE's poster boy. It could be before the end of 2020, or it could be well into 2021 before he's smashing fools with Superman Punches and shouting, "Ooooooo-waaaaaa" loudly again. It's a mystery, albeit a necessary one due to the complexity of this pandemic.

Roman should be roundly praised for putting real life before his own fantasy character or ego. Pro wrestling is brilliant, but it's not as important as protecting one's family, and it's heartening to see that Reigns knows that prior health concerns might make him more vulnerable.
