After a 3 month hiatus, Roman Reigns made his long-awaited return to WWE on the latest episode of Raw.
The main event of the July 14 episode of Raw saw a gauntlet match take place to determine who would face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. Although Bron Breakker dominated the majority of the match by eliminating Penta, LA Knight and Jey Uso, it was CM Punk who emerged the victor. Punk was attacked by Bronson Reed after the match, leading to Jey Uso assisting Punk before being taken out by Bron Breakker. As Reed and Breakker continued the assault, Reigns’ music rang through the arena.
Reigns made his entrance to a massive ovation from the fans as Paul Heyman looked on stunned. The OTC hit Reed with a Superman Punch followed by a Samoan drop. Reigns then took out Breakker and hit a spear onto Reed to stand tall. Reigns, Punk and Uso stood in the ring to close out the broadcast as Reed, Breakker and Heyman looked on in shock and frustration.
Taking to social media after the match, Reigns promised that he was just getting started.

Reigns was last seen on the Raw after WrestleMania 41, where the former World Champion was attacked by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker following the events that took place at Mania after Heyman betrayed The OTC at the Show of Shows.
Prior to the return, it was rumoured that Reigns would be back prior to SummerSlam to set up his return match.
