Roman Reigns Makes a Grand Return on Raw to Set Up a Probable Tag Team Match at SummerSlam
'The OTC' is finally back to rule his yard once again. On the July 14th segment of Monday Night Raw,
Roman Reigns
made his grand return in the aftermath of the Gauntlet match to close out the show ahead of the first-ever 2-night SummerSlam.
The former Undisputed Champion made his first television appearance after being taken out by Bron Breakker on Raw after WrestleMania 41.
The crowd went bananas as Reigns made his way to the ring to settle his score with Seth Rollins' henchmen and rescued a battered CM Punk and
Jey Uso
in the process.
Roman Reigns Takes Out Seth Rollins' Henchmen and Saves the Day
In the show's main event, Gauntlet match, CM Punk punched his ticket to SummerSlam to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.
And he did it by surviving the inhuman strength of Bron Breakker, who started the match and lasted for around 40 minutes. In the dying moments of the contest, Bronson Reed attacked Punk, after which Jey Uso ran out to make the save.
As a result, Punk was able to hit the GTS on Breakker and pick up the win. However, the assault wasn't over. Breakker and Reed continued their attack on Uso and Punk. And that's when Reigns' music hit and 'The OTC' walked out to the centre with intent in his eyes.
Reigns took out Reed with a vicious Superman punch and then took down Breakker as well.
The 330-pounder attacked Reigns from behind, but Reigns converted it into a Samoan drop. He then took revenge by hitting Breakker with a Superman punch, followed by a spear for good measure. With the ring cleared, Reigns helped his cousin Jey Uso to his feet before having a staredown with Punk, who was still in the corner.
The slow closed with Breakker, Reed, and Paul Heyman watching in horror as 'The OTC' and Uso stood tall. This segment pointed towards a bumper tag team match with Reigns and Uso probably slated to take on Breakker and Reed. Alternatively, it could be a singles contest between Reigns and Breakker, depending on how things unfold with just two weeks left until SummerSlam. With Seth Rollins out of the picture due to an injury, it will be interesting to see how this rivalry pans out.

Vidya Malavade On Losing Husband In 2000 Plane Tragedy: 'Air India Crash Brought It Back'
Last Updated: Vidya Malavade remembers her first husband Captain Arvind Singh Bagga on his 25th death anniversary. The actor says the recent Air India crash reopened memories of his death. Before she became a beloved face on the silver screen, Vidya Malavade had already faced the kind of heartbreak few can imagine. On the 25th death anniversary of her first husband, Captain Arvind Singh Bagga, the actor took to Instagram to share a deeply moving note about love, loss, and lingering memories that refuse to fade—even with the passage of time. '25 years of not looking into your eyes, touching your face, holding you, talking nonstop nonsense, driving you nuts, laughing with you, crying in your arms, & feeling 'safe'," she wrote, adding poignantly, 'Some connects live life after. Rest in peace, my beloved." Captain Arvind was flying Alliance Air Flight 7412 when it crashed in Patna in July 2000, taking his life and that of many others. At the time, Vidya was just 27 years old and only three years into their marriage. The tragedy left an indelible impact on her life—a shadow of grief that still follows her today, albeit one she now meets with grace and gratitude. Referencing the tragic Air India crash on June 12, which claimed over 240 lives near Ahmedabad airport, Vidya revealed how the recent incident stirred painful memories. 'The crash on 12th June hit where it hurts the most…& even though I may be forgetful…those memories, every single detail still so fresh in my mind…including how I FELT at what moment." Despite the immense loss, Vidya shared how Arvind's passing taught her to cherish the fleeting nature of existence. 'A lifetime of unanswered questions! & even though I live life with no regrets… sometimes you miss someone for the way they made you feel… just makes us realise how fragile… precious & unpredictable life is… hold our dear ones close." Her reflections carry the weight of someone who has not only survived tragedy but also chosen to live with purpose. 'The only thing that really helped me is to live life in complete surrender & gratitude! It's the way the most bitter lessons turn into blessings," she wrote, affirming her belief that Arvind remains close by. 'He's still my guardian angel… my guiding light." In a heartfelt tribute, Vidya captioned her post with lyrics from the iconic Celine Dion ballad: 'My heart will go on .. with all the love you have poured in to it…Forever.. & our favourite song at the time." Today, Vidya is married to director Sanjay Dayma, whom she wed in 2009. Her journey from tragedy to triumph has seen her rise as a respected actor, beginning with her debut in Inteha in 2003 and finding widespread recognition in Chak De! India opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 2007. More recently, she has appeared in the film Sangee and the popular web series Mismatched.
