There has been the latest update on why WWE unified their main titles, Roman Reigns working a lot less than anticipated.

WrestleVotes reports that the WWE Championship and Universal Championship were unified with the understanding that Reigns would be appearing on both Raw and SmackDown more regularly. Obviously, that has not been happening.



However, Reigns will be on the show this Friday night to defend his title against Matt Riddle. Reigns vs. Riddle was originally scheduled for the Money In The Bank show but Reigns is no longer scheduled to wrestle on that date.

Reigns hasn't wrestled since the 5/22 House Show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Going forward, he would wrestle in very few house shows and about 6 pay-per-view events per year.

Earlier today on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer spoke about Reigns and how he, and by extension, his WWE Undisputed Championship, have hardly been seen since Reigns signed a new deal for fewer dates earlier this year. Meltzer then revealed when fans can expect to see Reigns on “Raw” next. “The only time Reigns is going to be on Raw is the Raw from Madison Square Garden,” Meltzer said. “That’s his only Raw booking, the only time the champion will be on Raw pretty much the whole summer.”

According to a source, the creative decision to unity the titles was with the understanding it would allow Roman Reigns to appear on BOTH shows more regularly.

…maybe that wasn’t the best decision.
