With the WWE Draft taking place this week, will Roman Reigns be a part of the festivities

This Tuesday night when the first live WWE Smackdown takes place, we will be treated to the first WWE Draft in a few years. With the brand split taking place, it’s time for many on the roster to find out where their permanent home will be. With that being the case, every major member of the roster will be in attendance on Tuesday night.

Of course, though, one name that might not be in attendance is one of the biggest names that the company has at the moment — Roman Reigns.

It turns out, according to PW Insider, that Reigns indeed will not be making an appearance on Tuesday night as he continues to serve his 30-day suspension. In the report it states that Reigns will be returning to action during the weekend before he gets set to compete in the main event of WWE Battleground next Sunday night against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose for the WWE Championship.

This also raises the question of whether or not Reigns is even eligible for the draft. Back in 2002 Stone Cold Steve Austin walked out on the company and he eventually chose which show he wanted to be on. If this is the case with Reigns remains to be seen, but seeing the way that they have been mentioning the three-time champ on television during his suspension, someone could draft him even with him not being in attendance with the rest of the roster.

The biggest names in the company will be there at the draft on Tuesday night, but Reigns will not be one of them.
