Report: Roman Reigns Set to Return Before SummerSlam 2025 — WWE Plans Massive Comeback for the Tribal Chief

The silence surrounding Roman Reigns might soon be shattered.

According to a new report from the reliable WrestleVotes account, WWE is actively planning for Roman Reigns to return before SummerSlam 2025 — and not just return, but compete at the event. This news has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, especially as SummerSlam is being turned into a two-night extravaganza for the first time ever.

“WWE wants everyone who is healthy and can draw to be part of SummerSlam—and Roman Reigns is right at the top of that list,” WrestleVotes stated.

This insight confirms what many fans have been hoping: Roman Reigns will not stay away much longer, and WWE clearly views his return as a top priority.


Why WWE Needs Roman Reigns Back Now

With SummerSlam 2025 split across August 2nd and 3rd, WWE is treating it like a second WrestleMania. That means loading the card with every available top star. Roman’s return isn’t just about nostalgia or closure—it’s strategic.

He’s still arguably WWE’s biggest active draw, and WrestleVotes’ report proves he remains central to WWE’s creative direction even during his time off.


The Last Time We Saw Him

Roman Reigns hasn’t appeared on WWE TV since the Raw after WrestleMania 41, where he was attacked by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. That brutal segment seemed to write him off for a while—and now we’re learning it was indeed a planned break.

In the meantime, Roman has taken on Hollywood projects including a role in The Pickup and is reportedly cast as Akuma in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter film. But WWE knows his value to the brand, especially when stadium shows are involved.


Possible Return Date: SNME?

There’s growing speculation that Roman’s return could happen at Saturday Night’s Main Event, just before SummerSlam weekend. While unconfirmed, that timing would allow WWE to give him a huge moment, possibly building toward a marquee match for Night 1 or Night 2 of SummerSlam.

The opponent? That remains open. It could be Seth Rollins, considering their shared history and the post-WrestleMania attack. Or WWE may insert Roman into a new storyline altogether—maybe even involving Bron Breakker.


What’s Next for The Tribal Chief?

The WrestleVotes report hints that WWE’s internal creative meetings have included long-term plans for Roman’s return. This could involve new merchandise, a character tweak, or even a shift in alignment. After more than two years as “Tribal Chief,” a change—no matter how subtle—could be a way to keep things fresh while still maintaining his aura.

Thanks to WrestleVotes’ scoop, we now know Roman Reigns isn’t done. Far from it. His return is being treated as a major moment by WWE, and the company plans to capitalize on his star power just in time for its biggest summer show.

Expect drama. Expect fireworks. And most of all — expect Roman Reigns back in a WWE ring very soon.
