Roman Reigns’s SummerSlam Return Is Anticipated

Paul Heyman, Jimmy Uso (who has been given the all-clear to return), and possibly Hikuleo could be joining him. This combined comeback may pave the way for one of the greatest comebacks in the history of professional wrestling. In the interim, Jey Uso might carry on competing on Raw as a singles wrestler, with WWE possibly building to a big matchup at Survivor Series.
Following his defeat by Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 40, Roman Reigns has not been seen in the ring. Fans were left wondering about Reigns’ future after watching the touching post-match encounter between him and Heyman. Reigns might make a surprise appearance towards the conclusion of the show to keep the momentum going if WWE schedules Cody vs. Solo for SummerSlam. Excitation and viewership are fueled by expectation alone.
