With discussion heating up around a possible Roman Reigns SummerSlam 2025 return, speculation has ramped up about WWE’s next big storyline as the annual event approaches. As excitement surges, emerging reports and subtle hints suggest Reigns could be at the center of a major tag team showdown, potentially setting up one of the most anticipated comebacks in recent WWE history.
Growing Speculation About Roman Reigns’ Return
Excitement has intensified across the WWE fan base as the company appears to be gearing up for the long-awaited return of Roman Reigns, who hasn’t been seen in the ring since Seth Rollins and his heel faction forced him out after WWE RAW following WrestleMania 41. Rumors indicate that the Undisputed Tribal Chief is poised to re-enter the scene with unfinished business, likely aiming for revenge against Rollins and his crew.
Triple H has reportedly contributed to speculation by subtly dropping hints about a possible match-up featuring Reigns at SummerSlam 2025. Industry chatter points to the possibility of a high-stakes six-man tag team battle, where Roman Reigns could join forces with LA Knight and CM Punk—two stars who have also been at odds with Rollins’ villainous stable. The developing angle suggests that the heel group’s dominance has made it necessary for Knight and Punk to seek another powerhouse, making Reigns a prime candidate for their team as they prepare to challenge the trio at the marquee August event.
The Possibility of a Tag Team War Instead of Singles Action
Insiders believe Roman Reigns is likely to avoid singles competition at this stage, considering his commitment to filming the new Hollywood movie, ‘Street Fighter.’ With the risk of in-ring injury potentially jeopardizing his film schedule, a tag team format would allow Reigns to participate in the action without overexposing himself physically, while still keeping him closely tied to the main storyline.
It’s important to note, however, that everything surrounding the rumored tag team battle remains speculative, with WWE yet to confirm any official plans. The possibility of an explosive SummerSlam return from Reigns remains an open question as the company continues to build intrigue week by week.
Former WWE Employee Weighs In on Reigns’ Comeback
Tommy Carlucci, an ex-WWE staff member, discussed his perspective on The Last Word podcast, sharing his view of how Roman Reigns’ return might play out and the company’s evolving plans regarding “The Wiseman” storyline:
“I don’t know where it’s going. I think it’s going to go for a while with this whole Wiseman thing. And maybe Roman Reigns coming back, is going to bring some boys with him and start with The Wiseman. I mean, it’s wide open right now.”

What’s Next for SummerSlam and the WWE Universe?
As anticipation continues to mount, every development is closely watched by both fans and insiders. If Roman Reigns resurfaces as part of a blockbuster tag team war at SummerSlam 2025, the ripple effects could shake the foundations of WWE’s storytelling, especially with key figures such as Seth Rollins, LA Knight, and CM Punk all entangled in the narrative. Whether these rumors come to fruition or not, the focus remains firmly on whether the Tribal Chief will seize his shot at revenge and help Knight and Punk even the odds in what could be this year’s defining WWE showdown.
