Roman Reigns made an unexpected comeback on the post-SummerSlam episode of Monday Night RAW, confronting Seth Rollins for the first time since WrestleMania 41. However, the encounter quickly turned violent, as Reigns was viciously attacked during the main event, leaving fans concerned about a possible break from television due to injury.
Following the brutal segment, Triple H hinted that Roman Reigns could be heading into another hiatus, citing a kayfabe injury sustained from the assault by the villainous stable. Observers noted a clearly visible swelling near Reigns’ eye, a fresh injury that was not present earlier on the ramp during the show.
Careful replay analysis shows Reigns’ eye swelling immediately after taking Seth Rollins’ Stomp maneuver face-first onto the mat, which likely caused the visible bump. While WWE and Reigns have not officially confirmed the injury, the footage suggests the damage was at least partly real.

Their exchange escalated into a bitter verbal clash before LA Knight intervened, arguing with Punk on the ramp, possibly blaming him for costing him a chance at his title match against Seth Rollins.
“You don’t know about ****. You old a** b***h,” Reigns said.
