Roman Reigns reigned as WWE champion for nearly four years, culminating in his ninth WrestleMania XL main event. However, his great reign came to an abrupt end when Cody Rhodes captured the WWE Undisputed Championship. The loss leaves fans and insiders wondering about Reigns’ future, especially if he is temporarily absent from WWE television.
Anticipation rises for SummerSlam
As WWE prepares for SummerSlam, rumors surrounding Reigns’ return are at a fever pitch. With Solo Sikoa directing The Bloodline, there are many questions about the direction of Reigns’ character. According to Bully Ray’s wrestling legend, the answer was a big change – a babyface for the Chief.
A bold prediction from a WWE legend
On the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, fans saw Tonga Loa rebranded as Tama Tonga, while Sikoa stepped up his dominance over The Bloodline. This big moment caught the attention of WWE veteran Bully Ray. Ray retweeted a video of the match, hinting at a big babyface event for Reigns, tweeting, “Oh my god… Reigns is coming back and he’s going to be a baby monster!!
Ray’s prediction was not unreasonable. “The Bloodline” story has been hard at work for months, and it looks like a big change is about to happen. The return of Babyface Reigns to take the throne will take this story to a new level and the fans have been waiting for it.
Dear GOD…when Roman returns, hes gonna be a monster babyface!!!@BustedOpenRadio https://t.co/NZ9Ol0pNIz

Dwayne Johnson’s chance
Another famous figure in the history of WWE, The Rock, has also been noted for his participation, which is highly regarded. The Rock’s possible role in Reigns’ return will add a layer of brutality after he expressed his desire to get revenge on Rhodes, who he felt had been betrayed. Will Brahma Bull be behind the scenes to start a big feud?
The battle between the Rock and Rhodes, and Reigns joining forces with the Uso brothers to form The Old Blood, is one of the best stories in the history of WWE. Expecting Jacob Fatou to join the fight for an equalizer gives more hope.
Cody Rhodes speaks
Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes talks candidly about his championship rivalry and his differences with Reigns. In a recent interview, Rhodes emphasized his commitment to work and showed his approach to each event, unlike Reigns. ”I think one of the things I like the most is that I can travel from one city to another. And Roman Reigns, the WWE Champion before me and the one I beat as the Head of Nation is not in every city,” said Rhodes.
The words of the Lord show a great difference in their conduct. He prides himself on his commitment to being a visible champion, going to every show and interacting with the fans, something he feels Reigns lacks. “For a year, I was a champion without a belt. I promised them everywhere, Hey, I’m going to bring the WWE Championship. It’s great that you can fulfill your promise and come back to these places with this (title),” Rhodes said.
Way forward
As WWE fans await Reigns’ next move, his return as a babyface adds an interesting dimension to the ongoing story. The dynamic in “The Bloodline” and The Rock’s involvement create a storyline full of possibilities.
Can Rhodes and Reigns find common ground, put aside their differences, and face an enemy? Or will their competition continue and add complexity to the story? One thing’s for sure: WWE is going to have a big summer, and Roman Reigns is at the center of it all. Only time will tell how epic this story will end the WWE Universe.
