WWE has finally confirmed the Roman Reigns return date, announcing that the prominent star will resume in-ring action at WWE Crown Jewel 2025. Reigns, who has been absent since the Clash in Paris Premium Live Event, is scheduled to appear at the premium live event in Perth, Australia, on October 11.
The 40-year-old competed against Bronson Reed at the Clash in Paris PLE, where he secured a pinfall victory but was subsequently attacked by Reed and Bron Breakker. The assault forced Reigns to be stretchered out, and he has not appeared on WWE programming since. Triple H recently shared a promotional poster for Crown Jewel 2025 on X/Twitter, prominently featuring Reigns among the top stars, strongly signaling his return will take place at this event.
Potential Rivalries Await Roman Reigns Upon His Return
Following his comeback in October, Roman Reigns is expected to continue his ongoing feud with The Vision faction. Given that Reigns defeated Bronson Reed during his last match, it is speculated that he could face Bron Breakker next. This potential matchup would further the storyline that has developed since Reigns’ last appearance and maintain his role as a leading figure in WWE’s top-tier rivalries.
Triple H Expresses Interest in Facing Roman Reigns if He Returns to Wrestling
Due to health concerns, WWE Hall of Famer Triple H was forced to retire from in-ring competition, formally ending his career at WrestleMania 38. However, during an appearance on Good Morning America, Triple H shared that if he ever returned to wrestling, he would want to face Roman Reigns, whom he regards as one of the best current WWE performers.
“If I got back in at this point, I’d be wrestling Father Time is what I’d be doing. Nobody, mostly me, wants to see me back in the ring. I think in this moment right now, a current superstar, if I could go back in time and do what I did at my peak, it would be Roman Reigns. He’s a great guy, incredible talent, incredible performer. Out making movies right now, still a WWE Superstar, but branching out into Hollywood. He’s gonna be massive,” Triple H said.
Triple H’s comments highlight the respect he holds for Reigns and acknowledge the star’s ongoing transition into Hollywood alongside his WWE career. Whether Triple H will ever wrestle again remains uncertain, but his admiration for Reigns is clear.
The Significance of Roman Reigns’ Return for WWE’s Future
Roman Reigns’ return at Crown Jewel 2025 is significant for WWE as it marks the comeback of one of the promotion’s most dominant and influential performers. His presence at the Perth event is likely to boost viewership and generate renewed interest in WWE’s global shows, particularly with his storylines advancing and fresh rivalries expected to emerge. As Reigns bridges his wrestling career with endeavors outside the ring, his return reinforces his central role in WWE’s future plans.
