Speculation over Roman Reigns possible WWE return after WrestleMania has reached new heights, with fans and analysts questioning if the Tribal Chief will disrupt the upcoming Money in the Bank event. The recent absence of Reigns from WWE TV, along with mounting rumors, has fueled talk that a dramatic comeback may be imminent and could reshape the ongoing storylines.
Roman Reigns’ Abrupt Exit and the Fallout from WrestleMania 41
Roman Reigns has not appeared in WWE programming since a heated battle on Night 1 of WrestleMania 41, where he faced off against Seth Rollins and CM Punk in a thrilling Triple Threat Match. The centerpiece of that night wasn’t just the clash of these superstars, but the unexpected betrayal by Paul Heyman. Known as Reigns’ trusted advisor, Heyman chose to back CM Punk for just one night, only to turn on both Reigns and Punk, helping Rollins clinch an unlikely victory.
The chaos spilled over into the following RAW, where Reigns and Punk tried to join forces against Rollins, seeking retribution. Their efforts were short-lived, as Bron Breakker intervened, aligning himself with “The Visionary” Rollins, and together they decimated both Reigns and Punk. Since then, WWE has not issued any official statement on Reigns’ return, heightening uncertainty. However, backstage whispers now hint at an early June comeback, possibly at WWE Money in the Bank, which is regarded as the ideal platform for such a major comeback.
Main Event Tensions and Growing Rivalries
While Reigns has remained absent, the tension between Rollins and Punk has only escalated. The two recently met again in a tag team match on Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Punk teamed with Sami Zayn against Rollins and Bron Breakker. Their momentum was halted by Bronson Reed, who surprised many by joining forces with Rollins’ camp. This new dynamic has only complicated the situation, as alliances have shifted rapidly.
The stakes were raised further last week when Rollins outperformed Zayn and Finn Bálor to earn a spot in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Instead of celebrating for long, Rollins found himself ambushed by Punk, who landed his signature GTS maneuver during RAW, signaling that their feud was far from over. The upcoming week could intensify things further, as punk prepares to face AJ Styles and El Grande Americano in a crucial Money in the Bank qualifier. A win there would set up another clash between Punk and Rollins, fueling an already heated rivalry.
Roman Reigns Poised for a Shock Return?
With the WWE Universe closely watching Rollins and Punk’s confrontation, the spotlight has shifted just enough for a potential Roman Reigns surprise. The chaos and unpredictability of the Money in the Bank Ladder Match provide a perfect opportunity for Reigns to make his presence felt and remind competitors and fans that he remains a dominant force. As speculation runs rampant, many anticipate that Reigns will return not only to settle old scores but also to reclaim his position at the top.
If these predictions hold true, fans may soon witness Roman Reigns’ impact on WWE’s biggest rivalries, which could dramatically alter the trajectory of several ongoing stories. The wrestling world waits, watching closely for the moment the Tribal Chief decides to step back into the squared circle, determined to show that his dominance is far from over.
