After a hiatus of almost four months, Roman Reigns returned to WWE programming this past Monday night on Raw on Netflix, sending the fans into a frenzy. It now appears that he will make a couple of consecutive appearances on WWE’s flagship show over the next couple of weeks, which further affirms his involvement for the 2025 edition of SummerSlam premium live event.
Per the current updates from the WWE, Roman Reigns is seemingly booked to appear on the next episodes of Raw on Monday nights. WWE’s official website currently lists him to appear for the July 21 and July 28 editions of Raw. Those respective shows will be held in Houston, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan, at the Toyota Center and Little Caesars Arena.
For the record, Roman Reigns had been away from WWE television since the night after WrestleMania 41, Sunday night on Raw, where Paul Heyman betrayed him and joined with Seth Rollins to form a new faction. The Rollins-Heyman faction now also consists of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, whom the returnee targeted to avenge an earlier beatdown before the hiatus.

After the match, Breakker and “Big” Bronson Reed attacked Punk and Jey Uso, which led to Roman Reigns making his much-anticipated return to save Punk. It was clear from the scene that the OTC’s previous story with Punk was also not finished, but these two aren’t on a collision course for the time being.
