Roman Reigns will make his return to WWE TV imminently.
Following on from the unannounced but highly anticipated return at SummerSlam, WWE has announced that The Tribal Chief will be appearing live at the BOK Center in Tulsa Oklahoma on Friday, August 9th. This will also be the first time that Reigns will appear live on TV since before WrestleMania.
In Reigns’ 119-day absence, the entire WWE landscape has changed for The Head of the Table and the entirety of The Bloodline. On a professional level, this will be the first time since 2020 that Reigns has been on WWE TV and has not been the Universal Champion. Additionally, the entirety of The Bloodline Reigns created has undergone a change in line-up with new leader Solo Sikoa in charge. With Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso now gone, Sikoa has since recruited Tanga Loa, Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu, who was ringside when Reigns made his return.
At the time of writing, the return of Reigns is the only officially announced segment for SmackDown, which will focus on the fallout from SummerSlam.
What To Expect When Roman Reigns Returns To SmackDown
When Reigns made his appearance at SummerSlam, many noted the “OTC” on his new T-shirt, which stands for “Original Tribal Chief.” Creative plans for Reigns have noted that a battle for Bloodline supremacy will be the immediate plan.
