Roman Reigns has been brutally attacked and written off WWE television. The closing segment of the August 4th episode of Monday Night Raw saw the former champion destroyed by the new faction led by World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.

Speaking on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer believes that the attack on Roman was done as a way to write him off TV for the next little while so that he can go and film the upcoming Street Fighter movie.

Roman Reigns have been sidelined from TV for a significant time after being taken out by Bronson Reed, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker.
