Roman Reigns is preparing to make his WWE return after completing his latest film project in Sydney, Australia. According to sources close to the production, Reigns will finish filming this Thursday, allowing him to rejoin WWE programming. This news comes as WWE gears up for the Crown Jewel event scheduled for October 11 in Perth, where Reigns is prominently featured in promotional materials.
Timing Matches WWE’s Upcoming Crown Jewel Show
Reigns’s movie commitments coincide with WWE’s schedule, positioning him to return just in time for the Crown Jewel premium live event. Now that filming has concluded, WWE’s creative team is expected to bring Reigns back to television at their discretion. This return marks a significant moment as fans anticipate his next storyline developments.
Background: Reigns’ Absence and Storyline Explanation
The Tribal Chief has been off WWE screens since August 31’s Clash in Paris, where a storyline attack by The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed led to Reigns being stretchered out. This angle was designed to explain his on-screen absence while he worked on the forthcoming Street Fighter movie, where he plays Akuma. The film is set for release next year.
Expected Rivalries and Career Legacy
Reigns’s imminent comeback is likely to ignite a fierce confrontation with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, addressing the violent incident from Paris within WWE storylines. Known for an extraordinary reign as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion lasting 1,316 days, Reigns has defeated top stars including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes. His return raises excitement about what lies ahead for one of WWE’s most dominant figures.
