Roman Reigns’ Return May Be Imminent Ahead of SummerSlam 2025

STAMFORD, Conn. — Roman Reigns could be making his long-awaited return to WWE television as soon as SummerSlam 2025, according to recent reports.

Since his last appearance on the Raw following WrestleMania 41 in April, Reigns has been absent from WWE programming. He was involved in a shocking betrayal by his former advocate Paul Heyman and attacked by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, who are now part of a new faction.

WrestleVotes has reported that Reigns’ name has resurfaced in internal discussions, which often indicates that plans are in motion for his comeback. Though WWE has not officially announced a return date, the buzz surrounding SummerSlam, scheduled for August 2-3 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has fans excited about Reigns’ potential involvement.

Sources suggest the company is finalizing creative plans that could see Reigns reignite rivalries with Rollins and Heyman, or even address unfinished business with CM Punk. Additionally, Reigns may seek to challenge John Cena for a shot at reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Fans have witnessed Reigns in the ring only three times this year, and his absence from WWE action has left many eager to see the “Head of the Table” return to the squared circle consistently throughout the remainder of 2025.

As anticipation builds for SummerSlam, WWE continues to keep fans guessing about Reigns’ future and when he might step back into the spotlight.
