Roman Reigns is ready to bounce back.

If fans were thinking Roman Reigns would be sulking in the wake of WrestleMania 40, they would be very much mistaken.

At the spectacular Cody Rhodes finally ‘finished the story’ and pinned Reigns to end his World Title run at a staggering 1316 days. Not that Reigns didn’t bow out in style. The match will be remembered as one of the wildest in WrestleMania history and featured run-ins from The Rock, The Undertaker, John Cena, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa.

However, Reigns is already plotting his revenge. In a post on social media, Reigns wrote “Yesterday I mourned. Today is day 1.”

Roman Reigns Taking Break From WWE

Although he’s back in training, Roman Reigns might not be back in the ring for at least a few weeks. Ahead of WrestleMania, it was reported that Reigns would be taking a break from WWE and might not wrestle again until the company heads to Saudi Arabia or even SummerSlam.

Given his limited schedule, one wouldn’t even expect him on a show again until the as yet unannounced next Saudi Arabia show (last word being on 5/25) and the 8/3 SummerSlam show in Cleveland.

Speaking in the hours after WrestleMania, Triple H praised Roman Reigns for changing the entire industry during his remarkable title run.
