Roman Reigns recently secured his fourth successful WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense by defeating Penta, the winner of the All-Luchador tournament, on a special edition of Monday Night RAW broadcast from Mexico. During the match, Reigns drew significant praise from fans and industry legend William Regal for his selling of Penta’s signature arm-breaker, “The Sacrifice.” Despite this momentum, fans of the Original Tribal Chief face some disappointing news regarding his upcoming television schedule.
According to current listings on WWE’s official ticket website, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion is not advertised to appear on the upcoming weekly episodes of Monday Night RAW. This absence comes despite his confrontation with LA Knight and their newly booked title match, which is officially scheduled for the Money in the Bank 2026 premium live event. The Tribal Chief granted the Megastar a title shot after Knight laid his hands on him when the RAW broadcast in Mexico went off the air.
Reigns is, however, directly advertised for the red brand’s go-home episode on October 5, which will serve as the final build before Money in the Bank 2026. In the weeks leading up to this final show, WWE creative may focus on LA Knight building his heat for the rivalry by targeting The Bloodline in the champion’s physical absence.
It remains to be seen how Chief Content Officer Triple H and the WWE creative team will manage this high-profile storyline. Roman Reigns and his Bloodline are currently deeply entangled in a multi-layered rivalry involving not only LA Knight but also Solo Sikoa and Royce Keys’ faction, The 946. Fans will have to wait until October to see how these tensions boil over on RAW.
