Roman Reigns has an exclusive deal with the WWE which allows him to make limited TV and non-TV appearances throughout a calendar year. For the foreseeable future, these appearances will continue. Most recently, the undisputed champion missed Survivor Series WarGames PLE as WWE had enough star powers to make things packed.
Moving on, the assumption was that Roman Reigns would next perform at Royal Rumble slated for late January which essentially confirmed his TV return prior to the PLE. But it appears that WWE is bringing him back, this month itself to start builds for the first PLE of 2024.

Roman Reigns’ advertisement moving tickets for Smackdown
According to WrestleTix, the WWE Friday Night SmackDown scheduled for Friday, December 15th, 2023 only had 900+ tickets available tickets for the event at the time of the report with a setup for a total of 5,746 seats. It is interesting that they are bringing in the Tribal Chief for that event. The Head of the Table will apparently get the Holidays off before coming back on TV again for the January 5th, 2024 episode.
Roman Reigns was last seen in WWE at Crown Jewel 2023, where he defeated LA Knight in the main event to retain the Undisputed Title. To compete in that match, he returned on WWE TV in October after staying out of action since Summerslam 2023 where he successfully defended the title against Jey Uso.

Survivor Series was supposed to have Roman Reigns on the card which wasn’t the case. Many blast the top superstars enjoying such a sporadic schedule in the WWE for so long but WWE Hall of Famer Booker T backed up this decision in his podcast,
“Go back to the old days and just think about how many times Hogan worked on television in a calendar year. Might be less than that, and nobody was bigger than Hogan… Can you imagine a boxer boxing 22 times in a year? Or an MMA fighter fighting 22 times in a year? 22 times is actually a lot. That’s just the way I look at it. So I look at the pros and cons of it. If Roman wasn’t selling no tickets, we could talk.”
