Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE television since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40. However, his return might be happening sooner than expected.
During Reigns’ absence, Solo Sikoa has taken over leadership of The Bloodline, with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa joining the faction. Jacob Fatu also aligned himself with the group, and together, they ousted Paul Heyman by violently dismantling him on Friday Night SmackDown.
According to PWInsider, Roman Reigns is anticipated to return by SummerSlam, with plans suggesting he could come back 2-3 weeks before the event, aligning with the current timeline. PWInsider stated:
“As we mentioned on the No Name Show earlier this week, Roman Reigns is expected back by SummerSlam. As I noted on Wednesday, at one point the plan was for him to return 2-3 weeks before SummerSlam, which is about to be now.”
Sean Ross Sapp, speaking on Fightful Select’s Q&A podcast, was asked about Reigns’ status for SummerSlam. Sapp noted that while it is assumed Reigns would return at SummerSlam, it is not yet confirmed.
“It’s assumed but not confirmed.”
