World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns is set to work five more WWE dates before the end of the month.

WWE posted a social media graphic today confirming Reigns’ schedule for the remainder of May. Along with this weekend’s Backlash event, he’ll be working Clash in Italy at the end of the month. He’ll also be appearing at all three episodes of Raw between the PLEs.

Here is the full list of dates:

  • Saturday, May 9: Backlash at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida
  • Monday, May 11: Raw at Food City Center in Knoxville, Tennessee
  • Monday, May 18: Raw at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina
  • Monday, May 25: Raw at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio
  • Saturday, may 31: Clash in Italy at Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy

Reigns, who won the World Heavyweight title from CM Punk at WrestleMania 42, will be making his first title defense at Backlash against Jacob Fatu. It shouldn’t take too long for Reigns’ plans for Clash in Italy to be confirmed after that match.

At one point, WWE’s website was advertising Reigns for a slate of Raw episodes in June. He’s since been removed from those listings, with it now expected that Reigns will not be working the June 27 Night of Champions PLE in Saudi Arabia.

Reigns is not advertised for the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event episode that’s being held in Fort Wayne, Indiana on May 23.
