I mean, someone can be added to advertising in a minute? I'm not sure this really says much of anything, respectfully.

Sure, but it'd be sort of one of the thing you do to sell a big PPV to a crowd that hasn't really had one before is to advertise Roman, arguably your biggest star, into being there. He can still be booked last minute but it is a super weird thing to not have happen yet when there are still seats to sell. |

Could be a matter of just waiting after the Rumble to book it. Sami vs. Roman at last year’s EC wasn’t booked until after the Rumble and the Bloodline betrayal happened.

Roman wasn't advertised for Money in the Bank 2023 and wound up working the show. I feel like he may not even have been advertised for SummerSlam at first. That's why I'm not taking that as gospel. Plans change. Edit: I think it wasn't SummerSlam but rather this year's Rumble. I get that there are a lot of reasons why they wouldn't do the match at Chamber, but Meltzer saying "well, he's not advertised!" isn't something I'd take seriously. |

Plans change. London was going to sell out the WWE show if the main event was Otis vs. Baron Corbin so I don't know if that's a comparison to make. Even Super Showdown needed Undertaker/HHH to push things across the line ticket wise. |

Of course he'll be there and in a match. The last time Roman Reigns didn't perform at a WWE stadium show was the 2019 Royal Rumble, while he was receiving treatment for leukemia. There's a zero percent chance that WWE's second-ever PPV/PLE in Australia, at a 70,000-seat stadium, doesn't include Roman Reigns.

Roman wasn't advertised for EC last year either until after the Rumble when his match was made. This was the poster before that:  Dave always gets confused by the wasn't on the original advertising/on-sale poster thing. I remember around Sep-Oct 2022 everyone was fantasy booking The Bloodline in the first war games match and Dave was like huh guys Roman isn't advertised for the show I don't think it's happening then of course in early November when the match is set up on TV the final poster is revealed. EC will be the 14th stadium show since Roman went heel and he wrestled at every other one (well RR hasn't happened yet but his match is announced). I'm not saying it's a guarantee he'll face Rock but he'll definitely be at EC. If I know this with a few seconds of critical thinking as a random fan I refuse to see how Dave doesn't. Unless he's doing the thing where it's better for engagement to try and whip the IWC into a frenzy for a few weeks making them think Cody is being screwed like this time last year when he was really trying to will into existence the idea that Cody will be 2014 Batista and fans will turn on the Rumble is Sami isn't it. |

Totally OT.... but this would've been the perfect spot for an Iconics return. I know it won't happen because both are doing the family thing right now, but could you imagine the pop???

I think this points to the primary problem of Roman Reigns as champion.
He needs to be available and to be advertised if the company's intent is to use him as their poster boy and to draw money. There is underpromising and over-delivering, yes. However, it points to Roman's growing irrelevance to the overall product and begs the question of why he has the title(s) if he's not around to defend them and they're not selling him as being around. What's he even there for?

At this rate, you should just limit these threads to the times where Roman *is* working, since it's now the exception as opposed to the rule.

Dave said this last night:
“Roman Reigns is not on the Australia show (Elimination Chamber). He's not on the Paris show (Backlash) either by the way for fans over there.
He's gonna be wrestling at the Royal Rumble, and then his next big match,he could do a TV match, but he's gonna wrestle at the Royal Rumble and then his next match is gonna be his WrestleMania match. And after that, I would presume it's gonna be Saudi and SummerSlam."
