Early this morning, Roman Reigns took to Twitter to imply that he wasn’t quite done marking his territory on Monday Nights. The Big Dog stated that he’ll be appearing on this week’s edition of RAW, kicking off Week 4 of 2019’s Superstar Shake-Up.
I’m back on #SDLive, but I still have some business on #Raw.
I’ll see y’all Monday. #ProtectTheYard— Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) May 4, 2019
But wait! WWE responded via their official Twitter account to state that Roman cannot just decide to show up on RAW, which implies that there are some rules to WWE’s current iteration of the draft after all. According to “WWE officials”, Reigns will be sticking solely to SmackDown.
WWE officials have learned of Roman Reigns' desire to appear on Monday Night Raw, but as of now, and due to his obligations as a Smackdown Live Superstar, he will not be appearing on Monday Night Raw. https://t.co/4P0RNPmZB1

Fans who had already purchased tickets to Monday’s show seemed happy that Roman was looking to make an appearance. Will Reigns still show up on Monday’s show? Will an appearance from Roman Reigns help cease RAW’s ongoing ratings freefall? Will Bo Dallas be drafted to 205 Live for some reason? The answers will be with us in just a little over 48 hours.
