Roman Reigns marked his much-anticipated WWE 2025 return during a recent episode of Monday Night RAW by rescuing CM Punk and Jey Uso from a fierce attack by Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. His comeback immediately sparked excitement and speculation about potential matches at SummerSlam 2025, with the WWE Universe chanting his name throughout the arena.
Potential SummerSlam Showdowns and Championship Prospects
Reigns is expected to feature prominently at SummerSlam 2025, possibly in a singles contest against Bron Breakker or in a tag team match alongside Seth Rollins facing Rollins’ villainous faction. His previous title run, one of the most historic in WWE history, saw him break numerous records as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, earning him a place in discussions about the greatest of all time in the Stamford-based promotion.
After losing the championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, Reigns has yet to return to the title scene. However, a surprise move before year-end could see him capturing the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW. This development might open the door for Seth Rollins to capitalize on the storyline, setting up a major WrestleMania showdown.
Rebuilding The Bloodline: A New Era Taking Shape
The once-dominant Bloodline faction has fractured, with Jacob Fatu betraying Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank 2025. Fatu has since formed a new group called MFT and secured the United States Championship. Meanwhile, Solo Sikoa’s current faction includes JC Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tonga Loa, placing him in a strong heel position.
Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu have been left isolated against Solo Sikoa’s heel alliance. Upon his return, Roman Reigns extended support to Jey Uso and made it clear to CM Punk that his priority was helping his cousin. Reigns also hinted on social media that further developments are forthcoming, fueling anticipation for what’s next.
In a surprising turn, Reigns could reappear on SmackDown to align with Jimmy Uso, Jacob Fatu, and Jey Uso against Solo Sikoa’s faction. This reunion could restore Bloodline’s dominance later this year, with the group reclaiming championship gold and reestablishing their powerful hold over the division.
Future Plans and the Road Ahead for Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns is scheduled to leave WWE again after SummerSlam 2025 to begin filming the Hollywood movie Street Fighter in August. Despite this, he is expected to return near Survivor Series 2025, as promotional materials list him as the lead character, suggesting he will compete at this major WWE event.
Looking forward, Reigns may resume a full-time role in WWE, aiming to regain a spot in the championship picture leading into the next WrestleMania. His return could signal a new chapter in WWE, blending his in-ring legacy with Hollywood success while continuing to shape storylines in Stamford.
