Former WWE star Ryback recently discussed Roman Reigns’ reduced wrestling schedule, suggesting that Reigns’ remarkable career may not require a full-time return. Ryback likened Reigns’ situation to The Undertaker, who wrestled only a few matches each year in his later career.
“Well, he was in remission. It’s always in remission, right? It never just goes away. He’s had an outstanding career and the long championship reign. He [Roman Reigns] doesn’t need to be around for the next 20 years, and he has a family. I think he’s made more than enough money. I think we could be seeing a much more limited schedule at the very least. Maybe he does the WrestleMania like The Undertaker once a year” Ryback said.
Since losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Reigns has been on hiatus, with Solo Sikoa leading The Bloodline in his absence. The idea of Reigns transitioning to a part-time schedule, like The Undertaker, could preserve his health and mystique while keeping his legacy intact.
Fans eagerly await Reigns’ return, whether in a limited capacity or a surprise comeback. His contributions to WWE are undeniable, and even occasional appearances will continue to captivate audiences worldwide. As Ryback suggested, fewer but impactful matches could be the ideal strategy for The Tribal Chief’s future.
