When will Roman Reigns return?

As for Roman Reigns, the former WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, his absence from the ring following his loss at WrestleMania 40 has left fans eagerly awaiting his return. In his stead, Solo Sikoa has emerged within The Bloodline, instigating a power struggle within the faction by removing Jimmy Uso and asserting himself as the new tribal chief. This development has led to the formation of Bloodline 2.0, with the inclusion of Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa.

While speculation runs rampant regarding Roman Reigns' comeback, a burgeoning feud between The Bloodline and Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso suggests a potential stage for his grand return. The anticipation is high for Reigns to reclaim his mantle at SummerSlam 2024 and confront the new Bloodline alongside his original faction, The Head of the Table.
