WWE Bash In Berlin PLE is set to take place on August 31st and it seems that Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu are likely to miss the show.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shared what he has heard regarding how often Reigns will be working going forward.
“Roman’s not even going to be around a lot,” Meltzer said. “Although, he’s working several TV [tapings]. I’m not sure when he’s actually wrestling again, but probably … Survivor Series. I mean, he’s not going to be wrestling on the Berlin show, I don’t think. There’s no indication.”
Meltzer had also predicted that Reigns will first face Solo Sikoa before facing Jacob Fatu further down the line. Friday’s edition of SmackDown saw Reigns facing off with Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa to end the show, while Fatu remained offscreen with an injury that may or may not be storyline-based.
As per Meltzer, whether the injury was legitimate or not, the company has wanted to keep Fatu and Reigns apart for the time being.
Sean Ross Sapp via Fightful Select noted that Fatu is not legitimately hurt and the injury angle is being used to cover for not being allowed in Berlin.
Jacob Fatu had been gaining momentum ahead of SummerSlam. He teamed with Tama Tonga and won the WWE Tag Team titles. However, at SummerSlam a high-flying offense lead to his leg injury. He was also spotted wearing a walking boot which raised concerns. He is likely to be on the sidelines for sometime.
