Roman Reigns has already established himself to be one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time if not the greatest. The longest run with the undisputed WWE Championship further solidified his status but that strong run came to an end at WrestleMania 40 after Cody Rhodes dethroned him to become the Undisputed WWE champion and thereby the new babyface player of the promotion.
Since that night, we have not seen Roman Reigns on live WWE television programming which was expected following the biggest event of the year. He was also spotted filming for the movie, titled, Good Fortune alongside an ensemble cast of Hollywood actors which is done with production tasks. This also fueled the speculations around his early return to WWE programming.
With The Bloodline saga continuing on SmackDown with Solo Sikoa acting as the new leader, the belief was that Roman Reigns’ return to WWE might come sooner than expected as he would be poised to get back his position as The Head of the Table.
