Roman Reigns‘ potential return to the ring has ignited speculation about a Roman Reigns WWE WrestleMania title match, following his dramatic exit after WrestleMania. The anticipation centers on if and when Reigns will challenge for the title again, sparking buzz among fans and insiders as new power moves unfold in WWE.
Reigns’ Absence and the Turmoil in WWE
Roman Reigns has not appeared on WWE TV since he recently left to work on his film career, leaving a notable gap in storylines. The last time Reigns was seen, he confronted Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman after a betrayal at WrestleMania, only to suffer a crushing Spear from Bron Breakker to end the segment. The impact of his absence is evident as major changes have taken place while he has been away.
During Reigns’ time off, several significant shifts have occurred within WWE. Seth Rollins secured the Money in the Bank briefcase, a major opportunity for any championship challenge. Cody Rhodes earned the title of King of the Ring, further shaking up the roster. Meanwhile, John Cena continues to defend his status as the Undisputed WWE Champion. These developments have intensified the speculation about what might unfold upon Reigns’ comeback.
Possible WrestleMania Showdown Taking Shape
Insiders and fans have discussed how Reigns’ return could set up a headline match at WrestleMania 42. One scenario gaining momentum centers on Seth Rollins, now holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Sam Roberts weighed in on how this could play out, stating:
“I personally feel like Seth Rollins and his Money in the Bank briefcase is going to be used for the WWE Championship. I don’t think it’s a World Heavyweight Championship win. I think Seth Rollins, whether it’s John Cena or Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins is going to use his briefcase to get the WWE Championship. Then that could lead to a WrestleMania match where Seth is defending that title against Roman Reigns.”

According to Roberts, Rollins could use his briefcase to capture the WWE Championship from either Cena or Rhodes and defend it against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Such a matchup would not only resolve ongoing rivalries but also fulfill fans’ desire to see Reigns finish his “story” on wrestling’s biggest platform.
Other Major Headlines Shaping WWE’s Future
While the spotlight remains on Roman Reigns, the WWE landscape continues to shift with high-profile news. A WWE Hall of Famer has made a sensational return on SmackDown, signaling a major title match in the making. Naomi is currently focused on the WWE Women’s Title, though indications suggest she is unlikely to cash in on Jade Cargill at SummerSlam. Finn Balor often steps into a leadership role for The Judgment Day whenever Liv Morgan is absent, influencing the faction’s ongoing storylines.
The return of another top WWE figure on SmackDown is turning heads, promising new story arcs headed into major events. In addition, longtime wrestling legend Ric Flair has revealed he is about to undergo surgery, updating fans and requesting their support during this challenging period.
What’s Next for Roman Reigns and the WWE Universe?
As the road to WrestleMania 42 approaches, all eyes are on whether Roman Reigns will make a stunning comeback to chase the top title. The ongoing developments—Rollins’ Money in the Bank strategy, Cena’s reign as champion, and Rhodes’ triumph as King of the Ring—create a volatile mix destined to shape the future of WWE’s main events. The wrestling world now waits to see if Reigns will finally get his shot at redemption and whether the highly anticipated Roman Reigns WWE WrestleMania title match will become reality, potentially reshaping the balance of power in WWE for fans and superstars alike.
