Roman Reigns’ days with WWE may be numbered if he can not be the top guy in the company, which may become a reality this weekend.
Reigns has dominated WWE for over 1,300 days as Universal Champion, a title reign that began at Payback 2020 in August of that year.
During Sunday’s A&E Biography: Legends documentary, Reigns gave the following ominous message about what’s to come if he’s not WWE’s top star. He said,
“If I’m not the top guy, then I don’t wanna be here.”
Reigns will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 40 (Night Two) this weekend.
At WrestleMania 40 (Night One), the Tribal Chief will team with The Rock to face Rhodes and Reigns’ former Shield ally Seth Rollins.
This was quite possibly the greatest WWE documentary ever released. It also had a big spoiler for WrestleMania 40.

Roman Reigns, one of the biggest names in professional wrestling, has issued a warning to WWE. Reigns, who has held the Universal Championship for over 1,300 days, stated that if he is not the top guy in the company, he does not want to be there. This statement has sparked speculation about his future with WWE.
Reigns’ dominance in WWE has been unparalleled. Since winning the Universal Championship at Payback 2020, he has successfully defended his title against numerous challengers. However, his reign may be coming to an end if he is not given the top spot in the company.
The warning came during the airing of the A&E Biography: Legends documentary about Reigns. In the documentary, he made it clear that being the top guy is essential for him to continue his career with WWE. This statement has left fans and wrestling enthusiasts wondering what will happen if Reigns is not given the position he desires.
This weekend, at WrestleMania 40, Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes. This match will be a crucial moment for Reigns as it will determine whether he remains at the top of the company or not. Additionally, on Night One of WrestleMania 40, Reigns will team up with his cousin, The Rock, to face Rhodes and his former Shield ally Seth Rollins.
The significance of these matches cannot be understated. If Reigns successfully defends his title and emerges as the top star, it will solidify his position as one of the greatest wrestlers in recent history. However, if he fails to do so, it could mark the beginning of the end of his time with WWE.
The wrestling community has been buzzing with speculation about what Reigns’ warning means for his future. Some believe that it is a negotiation tactic to secure a more prominent role within the company, while others fear that he may genuinely leave WWE if his demands are not met.
Reigns’ statement has also raised questions about the direction WWE is heading. With Reigns’ incredible popularity and dominance, it is clear that he has become the face of the company. If WWE fails to recognize this and does not give him the top spot, it could have significant repercussions for the company’s future.
Only time will tell what the outcome of WrestleMania 40 will be and how it will impact Reigns’ future with WWE. Fans will be eagerly watching to see if Reigns can maintain his position as the top guy or if this will mark the beginning of a new era in professional wrestling.
