Will Roman Reigns Return to WWE at SummerSlam 2024?

Roman Reigns ‘ return to WWE is being rumored for SummerSlam 2024 , with the upcoming event setting the stage for the Tribal Chief to potentially make his comeback. Reigns has been missing from WWE programming since his loss to Cody Rhodes in the WrestleMania XL main event, but the Bloodline’s story leaves the door wide open for him to make a reappearance. But will that reappearance take place in the Cleveland Browns Stadium?

Why Roman Reigns’ WWE return could happen at SummerSlam 2024

WWE is setting up Roman Reigns to return to WWE and take down Solo Sikoa, who has forced himself into the role of Tribal Chief after Reigns’ disappearance. On the June 28 edition of SmackDown, Sikoa took down Paul Heyman — Reigns’ loyal second-in-command — a move which many feel sets up a feud between Solo and Roman. It would make sense for this feud to start at SummerSlam 2024 .

SummerSlam 2024 will feature Cody Rhodes taking on Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and this match could also see the return of Roman. Given Reigns’ lengthy heel run, many have been awaiting his eventual face turn , and Solo’s beatdown of Heyman successfully managed to achieve that even without Roman being on-screen.

If Roman returns to the WWE at SummerSlam 2024 to help Cody Rhodes overcome the Bloodline, this sets up a variety of possibilities. It has been speculated that while Solo has taken on the role of Tribal Chief, he is doing so at the request of The Rock — this means that while Roman and Solo could feud throughout the year, Reigns would eventually go one-on-one with The Great One. As Rock likely doesn’t have many more matches left him in, there’s a chance this long-awaited main event would take place at WrestleMania 41.

Of course, this is all just speculation. While Reigns is expected to return, WWE is well-known for swerving expectations, and Triple H’s booking has routinely favored the long game rather than immediate satisfaction. This means that Reigns’ comeback could be drawn out even further — or that he could return, but he could realign with the Bloodline, further drawing out his face turn.

SummerSlam 2024 is set to take place on August 3, so fans won’t have long to wait to see if the Tribal Chief will take his place back atop the throne.
