Roman Reigns is one of the biggest attractions for the WWE Universe.
Roman Reigns has been at the center of WWE’s biggest storyline heading toward WrestleMania 42, but fans tuning in to tonight’s WWE Raw will likely be disappointed.
Despite the anticipation surrounding his feud with CM Punk, Reigns is not currently scheduled to appear on the March 9 episode of WWE RAW.
The Tribal Chief recently won the 2026 Royal Rumble match, earning the right to challenge for a world championship at WrestleMania.
Reigns quickly made his decision, choosing to face Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, setting up one of the most anticipated matches on the WrestleMania card.

Roman Reigns has begun his heated rivalry with CM Punk
The rivalry between Reigns and Punk has escalated quickly over the past few weeks. Their first major confrontation came when Reigns delivered a brutal verbal attack on Punk.
During that segment, Reigns declared that he hated Punk and blamed him for ruining what could have been his babyface run.
He specifically referenced Punk’s infamous appearance on Colt Cabana’s podcast as the moment that damaged his reputation.
Last week, Punk fired back with an equally harsh response. “The Best in the World” vowed that he would bury Reigns beside his father, Sika Anoa’i, intensifying the personal nature of the feud. With tensions already sky-high, fans expected the rivalry to continue on RAW this week.
