Roman Reigns Working Rare House Show Match This Saturday In Fayetteville

The Island of Relevancy is coming to North Carolina. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was recently announced to be appearing at a WWE house show in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

The announcement was made by the event's venue, the Crown Coliseum, on Facebook. It will be Reigns' first time back in the venue in over four years, and only his second appearance at a house show in 2023. Although Reigns used to appear frequently on WWE's house shows, "The Tribal Chief" began making these appearances much less frequently while also starting to appear much less frequently across WWE programming at large.

Reigns recently reemerged on WWE television for the first time since the night after his victory over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. On the May 12 episode of "SmackDown," the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion set his sights on another pair of belts to add to his collection. After chiding The Usos for failing to reclaim the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship from Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, Reigns announced that he and Solo Sikoa would be challenging the champions at the upcoming Night of Champions premium live event.

On its own, the prospect of Reigns challenging for the tag titles right now is interesting. But, more interesting is Sami Zayn's inclusion in the Saudi Arabia-based PLE. Zayn has not traveled to Saudi Arabia with WWE in nearly a decade due to diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Syria. Zayn, who is of Syrian descent, made the decision to travel for this event due to recent diplomatic upturns between Saudi Arabia and Syria.
