WWE star Roman Reigns mysteriously banned from TikTok TikTok\/WikiMedia: Richard FreedaWWE superstar Roman Reigns has, mysteriously, disappeared from TikTok with his account now showing an \u2018account banned\u2019 message. Here\u2019s what we know. When TikTok first started life as a platform for artists and other creatives, it spawned a wave of brand-new internet stars. Though, over time, plenty of mainstream names have made their way over there. Now, whenever you load up TikTok, you\u2019re probably going to come across a famous face that you recognize. The likes of Britney Spears, Ed Sheeran, and Selena Gomez are consistently posting on the short-form video app for millions of fans. One person you won\u2019t see, at least temporarily, is WWE star Roman Reigns \u2013 real name Joe Anoa\u02bbi. The long-time WWE Champion has had his account banned for some reason, and fans can\u2019t quite believe it. Why was Roman Reigns banned on TikTok? That\u2019s right, The Tribal Chief\u2019s account \u2013 which previously had over 1.3 million followers \u2013 disappeared out of the blue on July 5 and was hit with an \u2018account banned\u2019 message. This is different from permanently deleted accounts which show a different message, leading to speculation as to why it\u2019s disappeared. With those longer bans, TikTok typically reveals which guideline an account has broken, but that hasn\u2019t happened here. As a result, Reigns\u2019 ban likely came as a result of one of his wrestling highlights being flagged for violence. Yes, it might not be real, but it can still be flagged for simulated violence. As noted, plenty of professional wrestling fans have chimed in on the ban, with many referring to the poor time Reigns has had in the ring now extending to social media. \u201cPinning Roman Reigns wasn\u2019t enough. Jey Uso had to get him banned from Tiktok too,\u201d joked one. \u201cTikTok no longer acknowledges him,\u201d said another. \u201cNothing going right for the Tribal Chief at the moment!\u201d added another. Given it doesn\u2019t appear to be a permanent ban, his account will likely return to normal before long, so WWE fans will be able to get their fix again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
