Is Roman Reigns expected to make a comeback to WWE during SummerSlam 2024?

There are rumors circulating that Roman Reigns may make his return to WWE at SummerSlam 2024, and the upcoming event could provide the perfect opportunity for the Tribal Chief to stage his comeback. Since his defeat to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania XL, Reigns has been absent from WWE programming, but the storyline of the Bloodline suggests that his return is a possibility. The question remains whether this reappearance will occur at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.

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 is set to showcase Cody Rhodes facing off against Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Championship. There is also speculation that Roman may make a return during this match. With Reigns' extended period as a heel, fans have been eagerly anticipating his transition to a face character. Solo's attack on Heyman effectively accomplished this, even in the absence of Roman appearing on-screen.

If Roman makes a comeback to the WWE during SummerSlam 2024 to assist Cody Rhodes in defeating the Bloodline, it opens up numerous potential storylines. There have been rumors suggesting that Solo is portraying the Tribal Chief under The Rock's guidance — indicating that Roman and Solo might have a rivalry in the upcoming months, leading to a showdown between Reigns and The Great One. Given that Rock's wrestling career is winding down, it is possible that this highly anticipated match could occur at WrestleMania 41.

It is important to note that this is purely speculation. Although there are expectations for Reigns to make a return, WWE is known for surprising fans, and Triple H's approach tends to focus on long-term storytelling rather than immediate gratification. This suggests that Reigns' comeback could be delayed even further, or he may return and align himself with the Bloodline, prolonging his transition to a fan favorite.

The highly anticipated SummerSlam 2024 is scheduled for August 3, so fans will not have to wait long to see if the Tribal Chief will reclaim his position at the top of the WWE hierarchy.
