Roman Reigns is defending the world heavyweight championship against Seth Rollins in the main event of SummerSlam night two this Sunday (Aug. 2) at U.S Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I think most WWE fans expect that the Tribal Chief will walk out of the PLE with his world title reign intact. However, Roman has had a very busy WWE schedule since WrestleMania 42, leaving plenty of folks to wonder if it’s time for another extended hiatus that could warrant a title change. Well, you can judge for yourself how likely a title change is by checking out Reigns’ schedule of WWE dates after SummerSlam, which they just posted a short while ago on social media.
