Seth Rollins revealed why Roman Reigns missed tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW.

The Original Tribal Chief has been the World Heavyweight Champion since WrestleMania 42. He has since defended the title against Jacob Fatu twice before The Samoan Werewolf joined The Bloodline.

While Oba Femi defeated Reigns’ cousin, Jey Uso, in the King of the Ring final to earn a world championship match at SummerSlam, The Ruler decided to forgo his opportunity to fight Brock Lesnar at the upcoming premium live event.

Meanwhile, Seth Rollins confronted Reigns last Monday on RAW to challenge for the title at The Biggest Party of the Summer, reigniting their iconic rivalry.

Two Possible Reasons For Roman Reigns’ WWE RAW Absence

Tonight on Monday Night RAW, Rollins kicked off the show, cutting a promo on his former Shield member, admitting that they both have significant reasons to beat each other at SummerSlam.

In his promo, The Visionary revealed that Roman Reigns was not at RAW tonight. He claimed the reason for The Original Tribal Chief’s absence was either that he felt it didn’t do anything for him to be there or that the check wasn’t big enough.
