Key Takeaways:
- Paul Heyman’s Raw promo heavily teased Roman Reigns’ return.
- Possible comeback dates include Saturday Night’s Main Event or SummerSlam.
- Reigns could derail Seth Rollins’ Money in the Bank ambitions, reigniting their feud.
WWE Raw opened with fireworks this week as Seth Rollins’ powerful new faction took over the mic—and may have given fans a hint about when Roman Reigns could make his long-awaited return. After months of silence following WrestleMania 41, Paul Heyman’s pointed comments have reignited speculation about the Tribal Chief’s next move.
Rollins’ Faction Makes a Statement
The show kicked off with fierce promos from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, laying the foundation for Seth Rollins’ new alliance. Before Rollins could address the crowd, Breakker and Reed made it clear that this new faction is out for dominance. Then came Paul Heyman, who has seemingly aligned himself with Rollins after turning his back on both CM Punk and Reigns during WrestleMania 41.
Heyman’s betrayal of Reigns was particularly shocking, having played a central role in the Tribal Chief’s reign. But on Raw, he doubled down, issuing a taunt that has fans buzzing. “Let’s be honest here,” Heyman said. “Roman Reigns doesn’t have the balls to come back and step up against us.”

Reigns’ Return: Saturday or SummerSlam?
That dig sparked immediate chants of “OTC” from the crowd—a nod to the rumored faction Reigns had been forming—but Heyman dismissed them, saying, “The OTC is MIA.” The timing of these comments is significant, with Saturday Night’s Main Event just days away.
There are two likely scenarios for Reigns’ return. The first: he appears during the Rollins vs. LA Knight match this Saturday, possibly to sabotage Rollins’ efforts and begin his revenge arc. Alternatively, he could foil a Money in the Bank cash-in attempt on Gunther, denying Rollins his title ambitions.
The second—and perhaps more dramatic—option is a comeback at SummerSlam. This would allow Reigns more time to reassert dominance, potentially setting up a multi-man storyline involving Rollins, Punk, and the returning Tribal Chief.
High Stakes Ahead
If Roman Reigns returns at Saturday Night’s Main Event, it will add even more excitement to an already stacked card featuring stars like Goldberg and Gunther. But even if WWE holds off until SummerSlam, the seeds have clearly been planted for a monumental storyline.
