Roman Reigns’ highly anticipated return to WWE television is just around the corner.
After being attacked after the 2024 Royal Rumble and being knocked out by Seth Rollins, rumors began about his plans for WrestleMania 41. This dramatic moment set the stage for a potential triple threat showdown involving Reigns, Rollins, and CM Punk. Following the Rumble, WWE announced on Monday Night Raw that Reigns would be “out of action for the foreseeable future.”
Is Roman Reigns in fact hurt? Reigns’ absence is purely storyline-driven, despite initial rumors of a real injury. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE decided to keep the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion out of Elimination Chamber 2024 to protect his credibility and avoid any unnecessary losses before WrestleMania.
When Will Roman Reigns Return?
Reigns is officially set to make his comeback ahead of WrestleMania 41, but the exact date remains unknown. However, WWE has now confirmed his presence for the March 21 and March 28 editions of SmackDown. These appearances will most likely focus on constructing the WrestleMania storyline rather than actual matches due to his part-time schedule and the limited in-ring action that airs weekly on television. What’s Next for Reigns?
With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, all eyes are on what role Reigns will play in the biggest event of the year. Will he step into a triple threat battle against Rollins and Punk, or will WWE throw another twist into the mix? His return to SmackDown will provide major clues about the future of the Undisputed Championship and his path to WrestleMania.
Final Thoughts
Roman Reigns’ return is one of the most anticipated moments on the road to WrestleMania 41. As WWE prepares the biggest matches for the grandest stage of them all, fans can anticipate promos with high stakes, potential confrontations, and more drama.
