When WWE unified the two top titles in the company and put them on Roman Reigns, it was with the intention that he would be a regular on both RAW and SmackDown. But a few months later, that seems to be a bad decision as Roman is now more of a part-timer who only appears on big shows.
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.

There’s a reason you won’t see much of WWE Undisputed champion Roman Reigns this summer. Reigns has signed a new WWE deal that allows him to work a reduced schedule, despite the fact that he is not leaving the business. As a result, the 37-year-old megastar will be doing fewer house gigs for the foreseeable future. Between June 19 and September 5, Reigns is set to appear on a few Raw and Smackdown shows.
The Tribal Chief is still being promoted for high-profile live events like Summer Slam on July 30 in Nashville, and Clash at the Castle on September 3 in Cardiff, Wales. Reigns was withdrawn from the Hell in a Cell PPV on June 5 in Chicago after defeating Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE and Universal championships at Wrestlemania 38. According to sources, the new contract is less restrictive than Lesnar’s with WWE, and Reigns will continue to be programmed as the company’s main attraction. Riddle, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Cody Rhodes are among Reigns’ upcoming rivals.
