Roman Reigns has finished \'mourning\' his recent defeat and has taken the first step to rising to the very top of WWE once more.
The now-former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion lost the title to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 40: Sunday. The title change marks the end of a historic 1,316-day reign for Roman Reigns who had dominated for three-and-a-half years.
Taking to social media, the Head of the Table made clear that he has mourned for his title loss and has embarked on \'Day 1\' of the next chapter of his career.

What\'s to Come for Roman Reigns?
Reigns is expected to take a break from WWE programming and is not expected to appear at WWE\'s next Premium Live Event, Backlash: France. Reigns is similarly not being advertised for the upcoming WWE Clash At the Castle: Glasgow event that will see the roster return to the UK. He is expected to appear at WWE SummerSlam this August in Cleveland, Ohio.
While Reigns won\'t be appearing on TV for some time, there are said to be big things in the works for the Tribal Chief. On the post-WrestleMania 40: Sunday press conference, WWE CCO Paul \'Triple H\' Levesque said that a \"whole new story\" for Reigns is coming that will take him \"to a whole \'nother level.\"
Reigns has also earned praise from Cody Rhodes despite their on-screen issues. On the Pat McAfee Show, Rhodes called Reigns an \"exceptional champion\" and hopes he \"can be half the champion Roman Reigns was.\"
