Real reason for WWE star Roman Reigns' hiatus revealed
It is possible that WWE Superstar Roman Reigns has welcomed another kid with his wife, and that could explain his extended hiatus since WrestleMania 41.

During a recent WrestleVotes Q&A, Joe Lowry mentioned the latest addition to Reigns' family in passing (at the 19:42 mark). 'By the way, congratulations to Roman Reigns,' Lowry said. '[He] just had another baby. Good stuff there.'
So, it makes sense why Reigns has been absent from WWE. He is known for taking long breaks between matches, but this may be a justifiable reason.
Reigns already has five kids, so this would presumably be his sixth. Congratulations to him and his family. Hopefully, he is enjoying his time as a dad.
When will Roman Reigns return to WWE from hiatus?
It has been a while since Reigns has been seen in WWE. Shortly after WrestleMania 41, there were reports that he could return at Money in the Bank, which took place on June 7. However, that did not happen.

WWE just had their Night of Champions PLE as well. Reigns was not present for the show, and fans are left wondering if he will even make it back in time for SummerSlam.
Last year, Reigns returned from his post-WrestleMania 40 hiatus at SummerSlam. He interfered during Solo Sikoa's match against Cody Rhodes, helping the 'American Nightmare' pick up the win.

He was present throughout the fall, feuding with Sikoa's new Bloodline. Heading into WrestleMania 41, Reigns was feuding with CM Punk and Seth Rollins. They faced in a triple threat bout in the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania 41, which Rollins won.

Sooner or later, Reigns will return to WWE. He is one of their biggest stars, and he still has unfinished business with Rollins, Punk, Sikoa, and Rhodes.
More than likely, he will return in time to have a match at SummerSlam. It seems unlikely WWE would do a Reigns return at SummerSlam for the third time since 2020.
His career outside of the ring has started to expand, too. He recently landed a role in the upcoming Street Fighter movie. Reigns will play Akuma in the upcoming video game adaptation.

Fans Announce 'Boycott' Of ESPN Over Hulk Hogan Article
Fans Announce 'Boycott' Of ESPN Over Hulk Hogan Article originally appeared on The Spun. Fans have announced a "boycott" of ESPN over their story on Hulk Hogan's death. Hogan, the iconic wrestling star, died on Thursday. He was 71 years old. The legendary wrestler, perhaps the most important in the history of the sport, had a controversial life. The legendary wrestler was caught on video using the N-word 18 years ago. He ultimately apologized and was allowed back into the WWE. But to many fans, that was the final straw. ESPN posted an Andscape article on its homepage with the headline: "Professional wrestling star's career is no match for his racism." ESPN writer David Dennis Jr. wrote that Hogan's legacy was being a racist. "When you are a racist that is your legacy above all else," Dennis says. "Hulk Hogan died being known a racist who also became famous as a professional wrestler." Dennis Jr. didn't hold back. "Hulk Hogan admitted that he is a racist. He once told his son he was scared Karma would bring them back as Black men. When you are a racist that is your legacy above all else. It's not complicated. This is what I wrote," he wrote. Not everyone agrees, though. Some fans are now "boycotting" the story. "Hey jerkoff, a question for you… When Kobe Bryant died, did you post an article saying he should only be remembered as an adulterer, or for the homophobic slurs he used? Exactly.👍🏼," one fan wrote. "His good and positive impact on culture and society far outweighs the bad," one fan added. "EVERYONE'S legacy is complicated, including yours. What if we were all judged by the single worst thing we had ever done or said? The world would certainly look like a much different place. Be a little more introspective in your life and less judgmental," one fan added. "Posting this while HH's body was still warm tells us everything we need to know about you," one fan added. "No one is reading that," one fan added. What do you make of ESPN's controversial story on Hulk Hogan's death this week?

WWE legend expresses regret he was unable to speak to Hulk Hogan before his death
WWE Hall of Famer known as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake expressed some regret that he had been unable to see Hulk Hogan before he passed away at the age of 71. Beefcake, whose real name is Ed Leslie, spoke to TMZ Sports on Saturday about his longtime friendship with Hogan. He said he had heard whispers that "The Hulkster" had not been doing so well, and he had thought about going to Hogan's Clearwater, Florida, home to visit him. "I was going to try to go to his house a couple of days ago. My wife said, 'You should just go over there.' And I was thinking, 'Oh, my God,' but if I go to the house and they say, 'No, you can't come in,' it would have crushed me. So I didn't, and now I wish maybe that I had tried to get in and tried to get to see him before he passed," he said. Beefcake was asked what he would have told Hogan if he had had one more chance to talk to him. "I love you brother, and we were truly friends to the end," he said. Beefcake said Hogan's friendship meant everything to him and that he had helped him break into the pro wrestling business. He recalled the great lengths that Hogan had gone to, to be there for him in his own time of need. Beefcake had been in a parasailing accident in July 1990, and Hogan had made the trip to see him. "I was in a horrible accident and not expected to live. And he left his family in California. His wife was about to have a baby, his son Nick, to fly to Florida to be there, because the doctor said they didn't think I was going to make it. And he flew there to be there for me. "And when they brought me out of a drug-induced coma, and he said to me, 'Don't even think about it. Brutus, you're going to live.' And I did. And he was there for me at the moment I needed the most." Beefcake and Hogan teamed together at the very early stages of their careers. They were known as The Boulder Brothers at the time. He was known as Brutus Beefcake when he first got started in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The two also were in the main event match for World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) Starrcade in 1994. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. Hogan died at a hospital on Thursday, an hour after he had had a cardiac event at his home.

This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult," Hogan wrote on Instagram Saturday. "Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting. My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world. He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend."
