The WWE Universe can rejoice as the return of Roman Reigns to television has been officially announced. The "Tribal Chief" is set to make his highly anticipated comeback in the coming weeks, culminating in appearances on two pivotal episodes of Friday Night SmackDown.
WWE has confirmed that Reigns will be live in attendance at the March 21st SmackDown event in Bologna, Italy, and again on the March 28th edition of the show from London, England. This scheduling places Reigns firmly back in the spotlight just in time for the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania 41.
Roman Reigns WWE Return Date Confirmed
His return fuels speculation regarding his WrestleMania plans. Initially, before The Rock's re-emergence, Reigns was rumored to participate in a high-stakes Triple Threat match against CM Punk and Seth Rollins. While the current direction of his storyline remains shrouded in mystery, his return signifies a significant shift in the landscape of WWE's premier storylines.
Reigns has been absent from WWE programming since the Royal Rumble, where he was written off TV following a brutal assault by Seth Rollins. The narrative was crafted to keep Reigns out of the Men's Elimination Chamber, reinforcing his aura of invincibility. WWE maintains a strategic approach to Reigns character, ensuring that any pinfall loss is reserved for major, storyline-driven moments.
Reigns return coincides with WWE's extensive European tour, spanning from March 15th to March 31st. Fans across the continent still have the opportunity to witness WWE's top stars in action, as tickets remain available for these events.
