Roman Reigns Return Update: Why the Tribal Chief is absent from WWE
Roman Reigns (Image Source: Getty) It has been months since we last saw Roman Reigns on WWE television, leaving fans to wonder what the future holds for the Tribal Chief. His final appearance came just after WrestleMania 41, when he was attacked in a surprise post-show attack by Seth Rollins , Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker. After that, Reigns has vanished, and it has people wondering if he's permanently out or if he's gearing up for a huge return. He hasn't been seen for months in WWE, and according to sources backstage, that absence is being planned as just that, and WWE is hoping to turn his absence into excitement for his anticipated return this summer. Roman Reigns is expected to return at SummerSlam 2025 Ahead of WWE's biggest summer show of SummerSlam, likely taking place at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and 3, there appears to be a good chance that Reigns would make his anticipated return at the event itself. — WrestleTalk_TV (@WrestleTalk_TV) According to behind-the-scenes talk in WWE, the company has been slowly setting the stage for his return by preparing promotional material and merchandise, focusing on the Tribal Chief. He gets brought up a lot in production meetings — usually a broad signal that a huge star is on the way back. WWE reportedly has developed an enormous storyline centered on his impending return that would significantly alter the landscape of the company. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo What his return could mean for WWE storylines The return of Roman Reigns may spark a few top feuds. Perhaps the clearest direction would see him face Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman's expanding faction, with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed now part of the group. They had the piece of the puzzle that they left on the table at WrestleMania with the betrayal angle. The speculation also includes some form of match against CM Punk, who is still technically involved in the power struggle storyline. Also Read: Roman Reigns set for WWE SummerSlam 2025?

The possibility of Reigns coming back to take his place as Tribal Chief sets the table for a dramatic power struggle within the Bloodline. Other reports suggest that Reigns may team up with other names in the likes as LA Knight or even Jacob Fatu to counter Rollins' faction and potentially regain dominion of WWE. Reigns had been rumored to be pursuing film roles, including a role in a future Street Fighter movie, but insiders insisted that Reigns' Hollywood pursuits won't impinge on his WWE schedule, at least not around SummerSlam time. He may have deliberately taken these few months off to ensure that the return would have the greatest impact. Now, the WWE Universe is marking the days until one of the more monumental returns of all time. The Tribal Chief is returning—and the locker room better be prepared.
