Roman Reigns WWE Return is confirmed for Monday Night Raw on October 6th in Dallas, marking his first full appearance on the red brand since an unexpected comeback. This event follows Reigns’ last match on August 31st at WWE Clash in Paris and precedes the high-profile Crown Jewel pay-per-view scheduled for October 11th in Perth, Australia.
Roman Reigns Returns to WWE Raw Following Injury Angle
Roman Reigns made a surprising reappearance on WWE Monday Night Raw on September 29th, helping The Usos secure a victory in a Tornado Tag Team Match against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. This was Reigns’ first Raw involvement since his match at WWE Clash in Paris on August 31st, where he defeated Reed. After that event, Reigns was attacked and stretchered out by Reed and Breakker, an angle designed to write him out of storylines temporarily so he could focus on filming the Street Fighter movie, which also involves WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
The American Airlines Center in Dallas confirmed via social media that Roman Reigns will not only appear but will also open the October 6th Raw show with a promo. This announcement raised anticipation for Reigns’ continued role on WWE programming and his involvement in the storyline leading to Crown Jewel.

Possible Crown Jewel Appearance Looms for Roman Reigns
The October 6th episode of WWE Raw is set as the final build-up before the Crown Jewel event on October 11th in Perth, Australia. Roman Reigns is featured on promotional materials for Crown Jewel, strongly indicating his participation. The storyline between Reigns, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker suggests he may face one of these wrestlers in either a singles or tag team contest at the event.
Reigns’ return promo on Raw hinted at his unchanging dominance despite changes occurring in WWE, reinforcing his role as the top figure on the roster.
“Some things change, but not me. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m tired of everybody thinking they understand the landscape. I’m tired of everybody thinking they understand the top of the mountain. Only one man understands this altitude. The Tribal Chief. The Greatest of All Time. They only want what they don’t have. Touch anything and turn it into gold. You understand that?”
— Roman Reigns
WWE’s advertised lineup for the Dallas Raw includes Roman Reigns opening the show, Becky Lynch facing Maxxine Dupri, Lyra Valkyria battling Roxanne Perez, and the highly anticipated return of CM Punk to Raw.
Additional Storylines and WWE Developments
Reports suggest that a former WWE and AEW World Champion, who announced retirement last year, may return to the ring, highlighting the evolving nature of WWE’s roster. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns’ standing at the top of the industry remains secure, as he reportedly sent a terse message to an ex-WWE star following an unscripted comment, emphasizing his authority and position without the need for another championship reign.
Further backstage discussions involve Ric Flair, who expressed that certain WWE personalities have not received the push they deserved throughout their careers. Meanwhile, concerns rose as a WWE legend’s wife confronted a man allegedly stalking her and threatening violence, adding tension to the community surrounding WWE.
In other news, a WWE star revealed that a change in their entrance theme was made due to Triple H’s preferences prior to their debut, and speculation surrounds Roman Reigns’ consideration of a 40-year-old WWE star as his eventual successor in leadership. Fans also anticipate the possibility of WWE Crown Jewel airing in U.S. movie theaters, broadening the event’s accessibility.
Roman Reigns’ Significance in WWE’s Current Landscape
Roman Reigns’ return to Monday Night Raw underscores WWE’s reliance on his star power amid a period marked by uncertainty and shifting storylines. His presence not only boosts the show’s appeal but also sets the stage for a major confrontation at Crown Jewel. Fans and insiders alike recognize Reigns as a pivotal figure whose continued dominance and storyline prominence influence WWE’s direction.
With Reigns returning to action after an injury angle that dovetailed with his film commitments, and with his promo promising steadfast leadership, his role as the “Tribal Chief” continues to define the WWE landscape. The Dallas Raw episode therefore acts as a crucial moment for Reigns to solidify his narrative ahead of what is expected to be a high-stakes match in Australia.
