Roman Reigns has gone missing over the last few weeks and it’s something that fans have
noticed, so we’ll see what’s going on there.
We’ll also see the big news of Liv Morgan landing her first official movie role, latest
on Sasha and Naomi, and much more
Let’s start things off with this big announcement for Liv Morgan’s career outside of WWE
Deadline was first the first to break the news about Liv Morgan’s big movie debut
They had this to say regarding the announcement of Liv Morgan’s role in the film, quote:
“WWE Superstar Liv Morgan will make her film debut in Yale Entertainment’s darkly
comic thriller, The Kill Room.
She joins an ensemble that also includes Uma Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Joe Manganiello,
Maya Hawke, Debi Mazar, Larry Pine, Dree Hemingway and Leah McSweeney, as previously announced
The film centers on hitman Reggie (Manganiello), his boss (Jackson), an art dealer (Thurman)
and their money laundering scheme that accidentally turns the hitman into an overnight Avant-Garde
sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the underworld.
Morgan will play an art purist who bemoans the vapidness of art dealers.”
End quote
So no matter the size of the character and role in the film, this is still massive news
for Liv Morgan
Especially if her movie character interacts with someone like Samuel L. Jackson, who’s
on the cast, it doesn’t get much bigger than working with someone of that legendary
status
So it’s a big deal, if Liv crushes her role, like everyone expects her to do, it just puts
her on the map for more and more future opportunities that are out there
Liv Morgan has been very vocal over the years about her desire to have a small role in a
horror project and it looks like that dream has finally become a reality for her
As far as a WWE update for Liv Morgan, she’s still being highly featured on Raw
She’s currently trying to fight off The Judgment Day alongside AJ Styles and Finn
Balor, but who knows what twists and turns that story may take along to way
But that’s the latest on Liv Morgan
——————
As far as the latest with Sasha Banks and Naomi, the both of them appear to be slowly
coming to social media
Several pictures and videos of Sasha Banks from a concert from a few weeks ago have been
posted online
And Naomi has recently broke her silence following the walk out for the very first time as well
Naomi took to Instagram to post some pictures and videos of her spending time with Jimmy
Uso and the family at the beach
So she posted all those great moments with the family and received a lot of support from
the fans on those posts
Bianca Belair was recently being interviewed by Sports Illustrated and strangely enough,
the topic of Sasha Banks and Naomi walkout came up
It was pretty weird for the interviewer to even bring that situation up, it puts Bianca
Belair in an awkward position because obviously she can’t talk about it
So Bianca Belair had this to say when asked about Sasha Banks and Naomi’s walk out,
quote:
“I’ve shared some amazing moments with them both, and I’d rather not speak on it.
That’s their story to share, and they should be the first ones to speak on it” end quote
So yeah, not much of anything to really pull there from Bianca Belair, she gave the right
answer and that’s all she can really say for the time being
Like we’ve been talking about for a few weeks now, Bianca was lightly involved with
the entire situation because WWE wanted to have Naomi versus Bianca Belair for the title
at Hell In A Cell, which Sasha Banks and Naomi were strongly against and refused
They did not refuse the plans because of Bianca Belair or anything about her, Sasha and Naomi
just wanted to defend the women’s tag titles at Hell In A Cell instead and that’s what
led to the walkout
But like Bianca Belair said, the three of them are close friends and shared so many
great moments together
Sasha, Naomi, and Bianca were even taking pictures together backstage at Wrestlemania
38 with all three of their titles
So there was no tension there amongst the three of them, the only issue for Sasha and
Naomi was the fact that they were well on their way of not defending their tag team
titles at two straight premium live events, and that was a bad sign for the future of
their title reign
But that’s the latest on Sasha Banks and Naomi for now
————————
If you’ve noticed that Smackdown and Raw feels a bit off as of late, it’s because
Roman Reigns has been missing for several weeks now
Raw and Smackdown both have to deal with the situation of having no world champion and
no world title program on their shows
Raw is still finding a way to manage, they have Cody Rhodes, they have the bigger roster,
so they’re finding a way to get by even without a world title on the show
It’s smackdown that appears to be taking the bigger hit and having a tougher time trying
to fill that void of Roman Reigns not being on the show
Remember that Smackdown has fully revolved around Roman Reigns since summer 2020
So going on two years of Smackdown being Roman Reigns’ show
He would open Smackdown a majority of the time and even be involved in Smackdown’s
main event segment from time to time as well
Roman used to miss a show every here and there and his character would always come back and
make a comment on how Smackdown just falls apart whenever he’s not on the show, and
that comment is very true
Roman’s storyline and feuds were always the focus of Smackdown and that’s been the
case from 2020 up until a few weeks ago
Roman just mysteriously stopped appearing on WWE television a few weeks ago and hasn’t
been seen since
There was no storyline reason given for Roman’s absence quite yet
Maybe they’ll drop a line about where he was at once he returns, but as of this very
moment, there’s no story reason to why he’s gone
Another thing fans have joked around about and brought up is WWE’s title rule that
they mention from time to time, but in reality, everyone knows it doesn’t exist and doesn’t
get enforced, and that’s of course the rule that every champion in WWE must defend their
title every 30 days
That’s apparently a rule that sort of comes and goes in WWE, everyone knows that there’s
a lot of titles in WWE that goes well over 30 titles without being defended
And now the WWE world title has unfortunately joined that club
Roman’s last title defense was Wrestlemania 38 itself, well over 60 days since Roman’s
last title defense and he hasn’t really started a title feud ever since
They teased something with Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, RK Bro, but Roman never defended
his title against any of those individuals over these last 60 days
A lot of fans aren’t blaming Roman Reigns or upset with him at all, he’s been carrying
WWE’s shows and working a full schedule since he returned in 2020
So fans feel like he’s definitely earned a nice rest and break away from the road for
a bit
And that’s very true, but his absence is still strongly felt, especially on Smackdown
A lot of fans are saying that Smackdown feels so different right now without Roman Reigns,
Sasha Banks, and Naomi
Reports also claim that there’s uncertainty around Roman Reigns’ next title defense
Drew McIntyre has already teased the idea of facing Roman Reigns at WWE Clash At The
Castle, they even teased that on Smackdown, so that’s a good sign we’ll see that match
in September, in what could be one of Roman’s toughest title defenses to date
But as far as Money In The Bank and Summerslam goes, there’s a chance that Roman may not
be at Money In The Bank as well, and his Summerslam opponent is still unknown
The only names that seem like a possibility to face Roman at Summerslam is either Randy
Orton or Riddle, one of those two make the most sense, but nothing is reportedly planned
quite yet
