Roman Reigns Stuns WWE Universe With Explosive Raw Return Following Seth Rollins Injury
In a jaw-dropping twist that left the WWE Universe buzzing, The Tribal Chief made his long-awaited return to WWE Raw on Monday night—just 48 hours after Seth Rollins suffered a shocking injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
It was loud. It was unexpected. It was Roman Reigns.
His appearance came during the chaos of a high-stakes Gauntlet Match and delivered a seismic shift to the Raw landscape. The stakes were already sky-high. But with Reigns now involved? Everything’s changed.
The Raw main event was already packed: Bron Breakker, Penta, LA Knight, Jay Uso, and CM Punk collided in a furious Gauntlet Match for a shot at the Intercontinental Title.
Breakker came out swinging—taking out both Penta and LA Knight with brute strength and ferocity. But just as he looked poised to bulldoze his way to victory, Bronson Reed stormed in. He helped Breakker eliminate Jay Uso, triggering the crowd’s fury.
And then: “CM Punk’s music hit.”
The crowd erupted. Punk charged in and went toe-to-toe with Breakker. But interference continued. Reed came back. Jay Uso re-emerged to even the odds. “This set up Breakker to spear Punk, but Punk countered with the ‘Go To Sleep’ and nailed the win!”
That’s right. CM Punk is heading to SummerSlam to face Gunther. But the drama didn’t stop there.
As Punk tried to recover, Breakker and Reed launched a brutal attack. Jay Uso tried to intervene but was barely standing.
Then the arena went dark. And the unmistakable entrance theme hit. “Roman Reigns’ music hits! What a pop from the crowd!”
The crowd exploded. Reigns stormed into the ring. A thunderous Superman Punch sent Reed tumbling. He then tossed Breakker like he was nothing—completely manhandling him. Reed came back, only to be scooped and slammed with a monstrous back body drop.
“Reigns then spears Bronson Reed who also exits!”
The intensity was unmatched. Reigns helped up his cousin, Jay Uso—deliberately ignoring Punk. A cold, tense staredown followed. No words. Just a message sent.
Reigns hasn’t been seen since the night after WrestleMania. His sudden return throws major questions into the air.
Is this a one-off return to support family? Or is The Head of the Table reclaiming his throne on Raw?
With all eyes still on Seth Rollins, Raw offered only a brief update.
“Paul Heyman said it’s too soon for any updates and that Rollins is getting evaluated.” No timeline. No details. Just silence.
WWE’s biggest party of the summer takes place Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.
Gunther vs CM Punk is locked in. But if Roman Reigns sticks around… SummerSlam might just turn into something even bigger.
