Roman Reigns recently dropped the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. After missing Raw after WrestleMania, he took to social media on Tuesday, April 9 and broke his silence. He made it clear that he’s back to work after taking a day to mourn his championship loss.
Yesterday I mourned.

It has been noted that throughout his 1,316-day reign, Reigns defended championships against the likes of Kevin Owens, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, Goldberg, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Edge, Brock Lesnar, Logan Paul, LA Knight, and Drew McIntyre, along with many others.
Roman Reigns is no longer Undisputed WWE Universal Champion as he was defeated by Cody Rhodes in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 40. ‘The American Nightmare’ finally finished his story and the fans are still talking about it.
Before dropping the title, Roman Reigns was not featured on any premium live event posters for WWE’s upcoming shows including WWE Backlash, WWE Clash at the Castle, and WWE Money in the Bank. This indicated that Reigns will be absent from WWE programming until at least WWE SummerSlam in August. However, his training video indicates that he is already actively working towards his next program.
“It’s not completing the story. It’s just getting to the end of this chapter, because he’s gonna go on a whole new story now that is going to blow people’s minds,” WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque teased regarding Reigns’s next moves.
“I know he’s going to take it to a whole other level. I can’t tell you how much respect I have for Roman Reigns.”
