WWE: More on Reigns Being Edited Out of Footage, Kevin Owens Update, Investor’s Meeting Update

More on Roman Reigns Edited Out of WWE Television

As noted before, WWE recently edited out Roman Reigns from the Money in the Bank Top 10 countdown on last week’s episode of RAW and Make A Wish videos that have recently aired on WWE television.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that while there is a rule in place that announcers are not allowed to mention Reigns’ name during shows, there is no actual rule stating he also has to be removed from footage aired during shows.

Meltzer reported that the reason for Reigns’ removal from footage was due to a sudden decision made by Vince McMahon. McMahon’s handling of Reigns’ television situation was stated by Meltzer’s sources to be something that “changes daily based on which way the wind is blowing.”
